A conserved role for CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON transcription factors during ovule development

open access: yes, 2015
International audiencePlant sexual reproduction depends notably on the development of the gynoecium that contains the ovules. Early ovule development relies on differential growth of placental structures controlled by the concerted actions of hormones ...

The disruption of seed dispersal networks: disentangling the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

A step into the shadows: Evolutionary shifts in fruit structure and dispersal strategies in Asian mycoheterotrophic Ericaceae

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1419-1433, September 2026.
This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...

Dissecting genetic architecture and improving machine learning‑based genomic prediction of flowering time in Osmanthus fragrans by integrating structural variants

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Sweet osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans), a traditional ornamental plant in China, exhibits substantial variation in autumn flowering time, which significantly affects landscape application and cultivation efficiency. Here, we performed a genome‐wide association study on 127 resequenced accessions classified into early, intermediate, and late ...

Investigating the role of cell wall invertase in ovule development in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yes, 2019
Ovule development is essential for the realization of crop yield as it determines seed number. Cell wall invertase (CWIN)-mediated sucrose metabolism and signalling is central to plant reproductive development including the formation of pollen fertility ...
