Genome‐wide association study identifies QTL and candidate genes for grain size and weight in a Triticum turgidum collection

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract Wheat breeders are constantly looking for genes and alleles that increase grain yield. One key strategy is finding new genetic resources in the wild and domesticated gene pools of related species with genes affecting grain size. This study explored a natural population of Triticum turgidum (L.) phenotyped for grain weight and size‐related ...

Microsporogenesis and pollen formation in cassava

Biologia Plantarum, 2011
This article describes the complete microsporogenesis and pollen formation in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) at the various developmental stages (pollen mother cell, meiosis, tetrads, early free spore, mid uninucleate, late uninucleate, binucleate ...

Patterns and Drivers of Pollen Temperature Tolerance

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 1366-1379, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Pollen, a pivotal stage in the plant reproductive cycle, is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, impacting seed quality and quantity. While the importance of understanding pollen temperature limits (Tmin, Topt, Tmax – collectively PTLs) is recognized, a comprehensive synthesis of underlying drivers is lacking.

Impacts of higher daytime temperatures on viable pollen and fruit production in common Cerrado tree Byrsonima pachyphylla (Malpighiaceae)

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 5, September 2024.
Temperatures in the Brazilian Cerrado—an important, complex, and biodiverse savannah ecosystem–are increasing, potentially impacting many aspects of plant development and function, including sexual reproduction, which is thought to be particularly sensitive to temperature stress.

Unravelling the unusual: chromosome elimination, nondisjunction and extra pollen mitosis characterize the B chromosome in wild sorghum

New Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 5, Page 1840-1854, September 2024.
Summary The B chromosomes exhibit diverse behaviour compared with conventional genetic models. The capacity of the B chromosome either to accumulate or to be eliminated in a tissue‐specific manner is dependent on biological processes related to aberrant cell division(s), but here yet remains compatible with normal development.

Cytoplasniic differentiation during microsporogenesis in higher plants

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Conspicuous cytoplasmic dedifferentiation in the pollen mother cells takes place early in the meiotic prophase of many plants. This event involves the removal of much of the cytoplasmic RNA.

OsALKBH9‐mediated m6A demethylation regulates tapetal PCD and pollen exine accumulation in rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 22, Issue 9, Page 2410-2423, September 2024.
Summary The N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modification is crucial for plant development and stress responses. In rice, the male sterility resulting from the deficiency of OsFIP37, a core component of m6A methyltransferase complex, emphasizes the significant role of m6A in male fertility. m6A is reversible and can be removed by m6A demethylases. However,

Influence of change in the proportion of H1 histone variants on microsporogenesis and development of male gametophyte in transgenic plants of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.)

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
As continuation of investigations in to the mechanism of the role of the H1 histone, which is a crucial protein component chromosomes of all eukaryotes, transgenic tobacco plants with different levels of the H1 histone variants were examined. Tobacco has

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

Microsporogenesis and the biosynthesis of floral small interfering RNAs in coffee have a unique pattern among eudicots, suggesting a sensitivity to climate changes

Plant Direct
Recently, the siRNAs pathways, and especially reproductive phasiRNAs, have attracted attention in eudicots since their biological roles are still unknown and their biogenesis took different evolutionary pathways compared to monocots.
