Ovule development, a new model for lateral organ formation [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 In spermatophytes the ovules upon fertilization give rise to the seeds. It is essential to understand the mechanisms that control ovule number and development as they ultimately determine the final number of seeds and, thereby, the yield in crop plants ...

Orthotospovirus tomatomaculae (Tomato spotted wilt virus [TSWV]) infects ovules and pollen to achieve vertical transmission in Capsicum annuum [PDF]
Journal of VirologyOrthotospovirus tomatomaculae (Tomato spotted wilt virus, TSWV) is an economically important plant pathogen reported to be transmissible by seeds. However, the pathways by which the virus enters the seed remain poorly understood.

PIN3 positively regulates the late initiation of ovule primordia in Arabidopsis thaliana.
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Ovule initiation determines the maximum ovule number and has great impact on seed number and yield. However, the regulation of ovule initiation remains largely elusive.

Calculation of the ovule number in the genus Salix: A method for taxa differentiation
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2021 Premise Recent investigations have demonstrated that the number of ovules present in the ovaries of the willow flower (Salix spp., Salicaceae) can be used to confirm the identification of species and hybrids.

A genome-wide association study reveals a novel regulator of ovule number and fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Ovules contain the female gametophytes which are fertilized during pollination to initiate seed development. Thus, the number of ovules that are produced during flower development is an important determinant of seed crop yield and plant fitness.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionDifferentiation of spore mother cells marks the somatic-to-reproductive transition in higher plants. Spore mother cells are critical for fitness because they differentiate into gametes, leading to fertilization and seed formation.

BMC Plant Biology, 2011 Background Ovule lifespan is an important factor in determining the ability to set fruits and produce seeds. Once ovule senescence is established, fruit set capacity in response to gibberellins (GAs) is lost.
