Analyzing Differentially Expressed Genes and Pathways Associated with Pistil Abortion in Japanese Apricot via RNA-Seq

Genes, 2020
Reproduction is a critical stage in the flower development process, and its failure causes serious problems affecting fruit quality and yield. Pistil abortion is one of the main factors in unsuccessful reproduction and occurs in many fruit plants.

NADPH OXIDASE-DEPENDENT SUPEROXIDE PRODUCTION IN PLANT REPRODUCTIVE TISSUES

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
In the life cycle of a flowering plant, the male gametophyte (pollen grain) produced in the anther reaches the stigmatic surface and initiates the pollen-pistil interaction, an important step in plant reproduction, which ultimately leads to the delivery ...

High-dynamic range segmented mirror metrology by two-wavelength PISTIL interferometry: demonstration and performance.

Optics Express, 2020
The PISTIL interferometry has been recently developed for the wavefront sensing of phase delays (pistons) and tilts of segmented surfaces, used in many domains such as astronomy, high-power lasers or ophthalmology.

Identification of pre-fertilization reproductive barriers and the underlying cytological mechanism in crosses among three petal-types of Jasminum sambac and their relevance to phylogenetic relationships. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Crosses among single-, double- and multi-petal jasmine cultivars (Jasminum sambac Aiton) are unable to easily generate hybrids. To identify the reproductive barriers restricting hybrid set, dynamic changes in jasmine pollen viability and pistil ...

Transcriptomic analysis reveals ethylene signal transduction genes involved in pistil development of pumpkin

PeerJ, 2020
Development of female flowers is an important process that directly affects the yield of Cucubits. Little information is available on the sex determination and development of female flowers in pumpkin, a typical monoecious plant. In the present study, we

Optimizing Visualization of Pollen Tubes in Wheat Pistils

Plants
Successful pollination and fertilization are crucial for grain setting in cereals. Wheat is an allohexaploid autogamous species. Due to its evolutionary history, the genetic diversity of current bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars is limited ...

Additive and Partially Dominant Effects from Genomic Variation Contribute to Rice Heterosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Additive and partially dominant effects, namely at mid‐parent levels or values between mid‐parent and parental levels, respectively, are the predominant inheritance patterns of heterosis‐associated molecules. These two genetic effects contribute to heterosis of agronomic traits in both rice and maize, as well as biomass heterosis in Arabidopsis ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...
