High‐resolution spatiotemporal transcriptomic data from male and female spinach inflorescences across four key stages first reveal the sex differentiation initiates at the four‐leaf stage and is governed by epigenetic regulation via the SpMSI1‐SpHDT2 complex.

“False Ideas are the Greatest Obstacle on the Way of the Gospel” [PDF]
The article presents an outlook over a possibility of the synthesis of science and religion. Modern development of a doctrine of the contemporary Church requires a dialogue between the evolutionary biology and Christian theology.

Extinction of tyrosine aminotransferase gene activity in somatic cell hybrids involves modification and loss of several essential transcription factors [PDF]
Extinction is defined as the loss of cell type-specific gene expression that occurs in somatic cell hybrids derived by fusion of cells with dissimilar phenotypes.

Oregon Wolfe barley genetic stocks – Research and teaching tools for next generation scientists
Abstract The Oregon Wolfe Barley (OWB) mapping population (Reg. no. MP‐4, NSL 554937 MAP) is a resource for genetics research and instruction. The OWBs are a set of doubled haploid barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) lines developed at Oregon State University from the F1 of a cross between Dr. Robert Wolfe's dominant and recessive marker stocks.

Genetic interactions among floral homeotic genes of Arabidopsis [PDF]
We describe allelic series for three loci, mutations in which result in homeotic conversions in two adjacent whorls in the Arabidopsis thaliana flower. Both the structure of the mature flower and its development from the initial primordium are described ...

Trithorax group proteins: switching genes on and keeping them active [PDF]
Cellular memory is provided by two counteracting groups of chromatin proteins termed Trithorax group (TrxG) and Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. TrxG proteins activate transcription and are perhaps best known because of the involvement of the TrxG protein ...

Evolution of petal patterning: blooming floral diversity at the microscale
Summary The flowers of angiosperms are extraordinarily diverse. While most floral variation is visible to the naked eye, this diversity goes beyond the macroscale: Floral organs comprise an underappreciated range of cell types that generate a multitude of patterns across their surfaces and give rise to novel structures.

RNAi of AGAMOUS genes in sweetgum alters reproductive organ identity and decreases fruit persistence
Sweetgums (Liquidambar), members of the family Altingiaceae (Altingiales), have inflorescences and floral organs that are distinctive in structure compared with other angiosperms in which the roles of floral homeotic genes have been studied.

Identification of early molecular markers associated with the mantled phenotype in micropropagated oil palms by subtractive PCR and cDNA array analysis [PDF]
Tissue culture of oil palm induces somaclonal variation. The main one, known as the mantled abnormality, displays homeotic floral modifications and is associated with a lower oil yield. To detect abnormal cell lines as early as possible during the tissue
