Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division
ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Comparison of anther and microspore culture in androgenic embryogenesis and regeneration of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica P.) [PDF]
The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of broccoli anther and microspore culture methods for doubled haploid (DH) lines production. We evaluated the main influencing factors and optimized the culture methods to improve embryo induction and ...

ABSTRACT Bicellular pollen often enters a desiccated state wherein development is temporarily arrested, enabling long‐term survival while maintaining the capacity for rapid activation upon hydration. Although the generative cell in mature pollen of Lilium species is known to have completed DNA replication, its precise cell‐cycle status and the ...

Isolation and culture of soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) microspores and pollen grains
In the last three decades, research on soybean microspore embryogenesis was restricted to anther culture, which presents limitations such as the small number of responsive microspores and the high embryogenic potential of sporophytic tissues.

Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a globally important cereal crop which provides ∼20% calories in human diet. Identifying genes and elucidating their functions is still challenging in wheat due to its large genome (∼16 Gb) with significant amount of repetitive elements.

Microspore culture for the purpose of developing doubled haploid plants is routine for numerous plant species; however, the embryo yield is still very low compared with the total available microspore population.

ABSTRACT Protein‐based biopesticides and biostimulants are critical for the future of sustainable agriculture, yet their utility is severely limited by inefficient delivery into plant cells. Traditional cell‐penetrating peptides enable protein uptake but lack the efficiency, systemic activity and scalability required for crop production.

Microspore embryogenesis: establishment of embryo identity and pattern in culture [PDF]
The developmental plasticity of plants is beautifully illustrated by the competence of the immature male gametophyte to change its developmental fate from pollen to embryo development when exposed to stress treatments in culture.

ABSTRACT Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) correspond to nearly 60% of annotated rice loci, however their functions are largely unknown. In this study, we characterise a rice cis‐NAT (NAT1850) that completely overlaps with a rice‐specific primary miRNA, pri‐miR1850.
