The tapetal tissue is essential for the maintenance of redox homeostasis during microgametogenesis in tomato

The Plant Journal, 2022
SUMMARYThe 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 callose degradation and pollen wall formation. The interaction between the tapetum and sporogenous cells in

Structure of staminate flowers, microsporogenesis, and microgametogenesis in Helosis cayennensis var. cayennensis (Balanophoraceae)

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2013
We analyzed the microgametogenesis and microsporogenesis of the male flowers of the holoparasitic Helosis cayennensis (Sw.) Spreng. var. cayennensis using optical and scanning electron microscopy.

Microsporogenesis, microgametogenesis, and pollen grain morphology of Fouquieria fasciculata (Fouquieriaceae, Ericales)

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2023
Background: Embryology of the male reproductive structures in Fouquieriaceae has been poorly studied. The ontogeny of the anther wall, microsporogenesis, microgametogenesis, and pollen morphology were described in detail for Fouquieria fasciculata ...

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.

Systematic analysis of Plasmodium myosins reveals differential expression, localisation, and function in invasive and proliferative parasite stages [PDF]

Cellular Microbiology, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2019., 2019
The myosin superfamily comprises of actin‐dependent eukaryotic molecular motors important in a variety of cellular functions. Although well studied in many systems, knowledge of their functions in Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, is restricted.

A multistage Plasmodium CRL4WIG1 ubiquitin ligase is critical for the formation of functional microtubule organization centers in microgametocytes [PDF]

mBio
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by unicellular eukaryotic parasites of the Plasmodium genus. Protein ubiquitination by E3 ligases is a critical post-translational modification required for various cellular processes during the ...

Whole-genomic DNA amplifications from individually isolated sweet sorghum microspores. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci, 2022
Abstract Premise Sorghum is a multi‐use crop, the efficient breeding of which requires the development of new genetic tools. One such tool could be the genetic assessment of free microspores, which are released just after the tetrad stage of pollen development.

Methodologies and Considerations in Evaluating Heat Stress Response and Thermotolerance of Pollen Grains. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT Elevated temperatures severely disrupt pollen function, posing a major threat to agricultural productivity. While research into pollen thermotolerance is rapidly expanding, the quest to identify and develop heat‐tolerant crops is challenged by a lack of consistent methodological considerations and experimental design principles.

The effects of heat stress on male reproduction and tillering in Sorghum bicolor

Food and Energy Security, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Due to global climate change, heat stress is increasingly harming the growth, development, overall biomass, and grain yield of numerous crops. Heat stress impairs pollen development and thus reduces seed set in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench; however, the effects of heat stress on anther development at specific stages and tiller formation remain ...

Classification and Computational Analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana Sperm Cell-Specific F-Box Protein Gene 3p.AtFBP113

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 ...
