Sexual Plant Reproduction [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2011
Flowering plants are the most successful group of land plants, containing over 90 % of species and dominating almost every terrestrial ecosystem. This evolutionary success is due, in part, to their sophisticated reproductive biology centred on the eponymous flower, where female gametophytes are hidden and protected by the sporophyte carpel/pistil ...

Ethylene supports colonization of plant roots by the mutualistic fungus Piriformospora indica [PDF]

, 2012
The mutualistic basidiomycete Piriformospora indica colonizes roots of mono- and dicotyledonous plants, and thereby improves plant health and yield. Given the capability of P.

Seasonal priority effects: Implications for invasion and restoration in California coastal sage scrub [PDF]

, 2010
Competition from exotic annual grasses (EAGs) threatens native plant communities in California. Coastal sage scrub communities have substantially diminished in area over the last century, in some instances by greater than 90%, while EAGs continue to ...

Putative cis-regulatory elements in genes highly expressed in rice sperm cells

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background The male germ line in flowering plants is initiated within developing pollen grains via asymmetric division. The smaller cell then becomes totally encased within a much larger vegetative cell, forming a unique "cell within a cell structure ...

Plant Hormone and Fatty Acid Screening of Nicotiana tabacum and Lilium longiflorum Stigma Exudates

Biomolecules, 2023
Pollen germination in vivo on wet stigmas is assisted by the receptive fluid—stigma exudate. Its exact composition is still unknown because only some components have been studied. For the first time, hormonal screening was carried out, and the fatty acid
