The Plant Journal, Volume 112, Issue 5, Page 1281-1297, December 2022., 2022 SUMMARY The tapetum is a specialized layer of cells within the anther, adjacent to the sporogenous tissue. During its short life, it provides nutrients, molecules and materials to the pollen mother cells and microsporocytes, being essential during ...

Identity Transitions of Tapetum Phases: Insights into Vesicular Dynamics and in Mortem Support During Pollen Maturation [PDF]
PlantsFlower development progresses through twelve distinct stages, meticulously regulated to optimize plant reproductive success. At stage 5, the initiation of anther development occurs, which is further categorized into 14 stages divided into two defined ...

Plant Science, 2020 Developing plants from in vitro culture of microspores or immature pollen grains (androgenesis) is a highly genotype-dependent process whose effectiveness in cereals is significantly reduced by occurrence of albino regenerants. Here, we examined a hypothesis that the molecular differentiation of plastids in barley microspores prior to in vitro culture ...

Classification and Computational Analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana Sperm Cell-Specific F-Box Protein Gene 3p.AtFBP113 [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 In plants, F-box proteins (FBPs) constitute one of the largest superfamilies of regulatory proteins. Most F-box proteins are shown to be an integral part of SCF complexes, which carry out the degradation of proteins and regulate diverse important ...

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals key insights into male sterility in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Large-scale heterosis breeding depends upon stable, inherited male sterility lines. We accidentally discovered a male sterility line (SW-S) in the F1progeny of a Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge from Shandong, China (purple flowers) crossed with a S.

Quantitative assessment of DNA replication to monitor microgametogenesis in Plasmodium berghei
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2009 Targeting the crucial step of Plasmodium transition from vertebrate host to mosquito vector is a promising approach to eliminate malaria. Uptake by the mosquito activates gametocytes within seconds, and in the case of male (micro) gametocytes leads to rapid DNA replication and the release of eight flagellated gametes.

Microsporogenesis, microgametogenesis and pollen morphology of Passiflora spp. (Passifloraceae) [PDF]
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002 Microsporogenesis, microgametogenesis and pollen morphology of six species of genus Passiflora L. belonging to three subgenera (Passiflora, Dysosmia, Decaloba) were studied with light and scanning microscopy; P. caerulea was also examined with transmission microscopy.
