Variation in plastid genomes in the gynodioecious species Silene vulgaris
BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background Gynodioecious species exist in two sexes – male-sterile females and hermaphrodites. Male sterility in higher plants often results from mitonuclear interaction between the CMS (cytoplasmic male sterility) gene(s) encoded by mitochondrial genome

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022 Distyly is a floral polymorphism with reciprocal placement of male and female structures, heteromorphic self-incompatibility, and other ancillary traits. However, breeding system breakdowns and loss of polymorphism are common.

The Plant Cell, 2002 In a letter addressed to Joseph Hooker in 1879, Charles Darwin referred to the rapid development and diversification of the flowering plants in recent geological times as an “abominable mystery.” The mystery of the origin of angiosperms, the development of floral characters, and the ...

Recent advances in understanding of meiosis initiation and the apomictic pathway in plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Meiosis, a specialized cell division to produce haploid cells, marks the transition from a sporophytic to a gametophytic generation in the life cycle of plants.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2019 Floral nectar is one of the key rewards in the mutualistic interactions between plants and pollinators. However, there is a growing amount of evidence that shows that another group of organisms may be involved in the pollination process, namely the ...

Toward a Molecular Understanding of Plant Hormone Actions [PDF]
, 2016 Plants rely on a diverse set of small-molecule hormones to regulate every aspect of their biological processes including development, growth, and adaptation. Since the discovery of the first plant hormone, auxin, hormones have always been at the frontier

Parasitoid load affects plant fitness in a tritrophic system [PDF]
, 2008 Plants attacked by herbivorous insects emit volatile compounds that attract predators or parasitoids of the herbivores. Plant fitness increases when these herbivorous insects are parasitized by solitary parasitoids, but whether gregarious koinobiont ...

Protein Farnesylation Takes Part in Arabidopsis Seed Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Protein farnesylation is a post-translational modification regulated by the ERA1 (Enhanced Response to ABA 1) gene encoding the β-subunit of the protein farnesyltransferase in Arabidopsis.

Plant reproductive genomics at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference [PDF]
Comparative and Functional Genomics, 2005 Exciting advances in our understanding of plantreproductive biology are being spurred both bynew research on established model systems andby the emergence of new models. Moreover, com-parative analyses are placing knowledge derivedfrom each of these systems into an evolution-ary framework and thus providing insights intothe processes responsible for ...

Plants, 2016 In temperate climates, most plants flower during the warmer season of the year to avoid negative effects of low temperatures on reproduction. Nevertheless, few species bloom in midwinter and early spring despite severe and frequent frosts at that time ...
