Reactive Oxygen Species as Mediators of Gametophyte Development and Double Fertilization in Flowering Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are toxic by-products of aerobic metabolism. In plants, they also function as important signaling molecules that regulate biotic and abiotic stress responses as well as plant growth and development.

microRNA‐mediated control of cell fate specification and patterning in Marchantia polymorpha

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
The gemma developmental program in Marchantia polymorpha is coordinated by MpMIR166‐mediated repression of MpC3HDZ and auxin homeostasis. Summary MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non‐coding RNA molecules essential for growth and development in eukaryotes. In plants, the master gene DICER‐LIKE 1 (DCL1) catalyzes the biogenesis of miRNAs by processing double‐

The Solanum chacoense Fertilization-Related Kinase 3 (ScFRK3) is involved in male and female gametophyte development

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background The Fertilization-related kinases (FRK) form a class that belongs to the MEKK subfamily of plant MAPKKKs. It was recently shown that FRK class kinases expanded during angiosperm evolution, reaching their maximum numbers in the lineage leading ...

Preliminary study documents variable accuracy and inclusion among biology instructor gender/sex definitions

open access: yesNatural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Society generally presents sex inaccurately as a binary variable based on one or few trait(s), causing myriad issues, including the pursuit of reductionist biology experiments, the creation of laws that limit the rights of women, people with queer genders, and intersex folks, and greater student endorsement of gender stereotypes in ...

The MexMAGIC population reveals the genetic architecture of traits exhibiting clinal variation in Mexican native maize

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1296-1313, November 2026.
The MexMAGIC population mixes native maize varieties from across Mexico to study functional genetic diversity. Summary Defining the genetic basis of local adaptation is a key goal of evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Theory predicts that when selective pressures follow differences in the environment, a cline will be established.

Male Gametophyte Development in Monosomics of Maize

open access: yes, 1989
The development of male gametophytes in diploid and monosomic-1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -7, -8, -9, and -10 maize plants was characterized. Developmental differences due to nullisomy in the gametophyte were evaluated by comparing the development of haploid and ...

Oak masting under climate change: when spatially heterogeneous shifts in flowering phenology reshape pollen limitation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1314-1326, November 2026.
Conceptual framework illustrating the pollen variables and the hypotheses linking trajectories of pollen phenology and masting. Summary Masting, the irregular, synchronised production of seeds within tree populations, drives forest regeneration and ecosystem dynamics.

Study on the development of gametophyte in Athyrium mackinnonii

open access: yes上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2013
The gametophyte development of Athyrium mackinnonii from China was observed under artificial culture in this paper.The results show that the spore of Athyrium mackinnonii is bilaterally symmetric,elliptic in polar view,fabaceous in equatorial view,the ...

Transient heat stress during gametophyte development in Brassica napus reduces subsequent floret fecundity

open access: yesPlant Stress
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), also known as canola, is particularly sensitive to high temperatures during flowering. However, the impacts of heat stress during male and female gametophyte development, several days before anthesis and fertilisation ...
