Proline is required for male gametophyte development in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Background In crosses between the proline-deficient mutant homozygous for p5cs1 and heterozygous for p5cs2 (p5cs1 p5cs2/P5CS2), used as male, and different Arabidopsis mutants, used as females, the p5cs2 mutant allele was rarely transmitted to the ...

Autophagy modulates Arabidopsis male gametophyte fertility and controls actin organization [PDF]
Autophagy, a crucial mechanism for cellular degradation, is regulated by conserved autophagy-related (ATG) core proteins across species. Impairments in autophagy result in significant developmental and reproductive aberrations in mammals.

Transcription Factors and Their Regulatory Roles in the Male Gametophyte Development of Flowering Plants [PDF]
Male gametophyte development in plants relies on the functions of numerous genes, whose expression is regulated by transcription factors (TFs), non-coding RNAs, hormones, and diverse environmental stresses.

Morphofunctional characteristics of the tomato male gametophyte under conditions of viral pathogenesis [PDF]
Relevance. The action of viral phytopathogens changes the quality of the male gametophyte, which ultimately leads to a decrease in plant productivity.

Transformation of Seed Non-Transmissible Hop Viroids in Nicotiana benthamiana Causes Distortions in Male Gametophyte Development [PDF]
Viroids are small, non-coding, parasitic RNAs that promote developmental distortions in sensitive plants. We analyzed pollen of Nicotiana benthamiana after infection and/or ectopic transformation with cDNAs of citrus bark cracking viroid (CBCVd), apple ...

Association of bud and anther morphology with developmental stages of the male gametophyte of melon (Cucumis melo L.) [PDF]
Correlations between the morphological features of f lower buds and the developmental stages of the male gametophyte are of great practical interest as a reliable marker that accelerates and simplif ies the selection of appropriate plant material for ...

Transcriptome profiling of male gametophyte development in Nicotiana tabacum [PDF]
Pollen, an extremely reduced bicellular or tricellular male reproductive structure of flowering plants, serves as a model for numerous studies covering wide range of developmental and physiological processes.

Cold Tolerance of the Male Gametophyte during Germination and Tube Growth Depends on the Flowering Time [PDF]
In temperate climates, most plants flower during the warmer season of the year to avoid negative effects of low temperatures on reproduction. Nevertheless, few species bloom in midwinter and early spring despite severe and frequent frosts at that time ...

ABAP1 Plays a Role in the Differentiation of Male and Female Gametes in Arabidopsis thaliana
The correct development of a diploid sporophyte body and a haploid gametophyte relies on a strict coordination between cell divisions in space and time. During plant reproduction, these divisions have to be temporally and spatially coordinated with cell ...
