Ovule development: genetic trends and evolutionary considerations [PDF]
Sexual Plant Reproduction, 2009 Much of our current understanding of ovule development in flowering pants is derived from genetic and molecular studies performed on Arabidopsis thaliana. Arabidopsis has bitegmic, anatropous ovules, representing both the most common and the putative ancestral state among angiosperms. These studies show that key genetic determinants that act to control

Regulation of Ovule Development [PDF]
THE PLANT CELL ONLINE, 2004 Ovule development in Arabidopsis and other plants has been the focus of classic and molecular genetic analyses in recent years. This has been an exciting time to be involved in plant developmental biology, because many genetic pathways and regulatory mechanisms have been elucidated ...

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.

Horticulturae, 2022 Sterility in edible bananas is as a result of a long history of anthropogenic-driven selection for sterile genotypes, since seed is not desirable in fruit pulp for human consumption.

Maternal control of PIN1 is required for female gametophyte development in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Land plants are characterised by haplo-diploid life cycles, and developing ovules are the organs in which the haploid and diploid generations coexist.

Eragrostis curvula, a Model Species for Diplosporous Apomixis
Plants, 2021 Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness is a grass with a particular apomictic embryo sac development called Eragrostis type. Apomixis is a type of asexual reproduction that produces seeds without fertilization in which the resulting progeny is genetically ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The ovule plays a critical role in cereal yield as it is the site of fertilization and the progenitor of the grain. The ovule primordium is generally comprised of three domains, the funiculus, chalaza, and nucellus, which give rise to distinct tissues ...

Roles of polarity determinants in ovule development [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2009 SummaryOvules are the female reproductive structures that develop into seeds. Angiosperm ovules include one, or more commonly two, integuments that cover the nucellus and female gametophyte. Mutations in the Arabidopsis KANADI (KAN) and YABBY polarity genes result in amorphous or arrested integument growth, suggesting that polarity determinants play ...

Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Candidate Genes for Female Sterility in Pomegranate Flowers
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Pomegranate has two types of flowers on the same plant: functional male flowers (FMF) and bisexual flowers (BF). BF are female-fertile flowers that can set fruits. FMF are female-sterile flowers that fail to set fruit and that eventually drop.

Identification and evaluation of the novel genes for transcript normalization during female gametophyte development in sugarcane [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.), the major sugar and biofuel feedstock crop, is cultivated mainly by vegetative propagation worldwide due to the infertility of female reproductive organs resulting in the reduction of quality and output of ...
