Cyto-Embryological Analysis of Wild Kentucky Bluegrass Germplasm in Gansu Province, China
Reproduction studies, particularly embryology, represent basic information of any plant. However, the current embryological information is fragmentary for Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.).

The MAPK homolog, Smk1, promotes assembly of the glucan layer of the spore wall in S. cerevisiae. [PDF]
Spore walls in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are multilayered structures consisting of inner layers that resemble the vegetative cell wall, and spore‐specific outer layers that protect the products of meiosis from environmental insults. In this study, a mutant that blocks assembly of the outer layers of the spore wall (cda1,2∆) is used to demonstrate that a

Cold-induced male meiotic restitution in Arabidopsis thaliana is not mediated by GA-DELLA signaling [PDF]
Short periods of cold stress induce male meiotic restitution and diploid pollen formation in Arabidopsis thaliana by specifically interfering with male meiotic cytokinesis.

Temporal and spatial expression of genes involved in DNA methylation during reproductive development of sexual and apomictic Eragrostis curvula [PDF]
Recent reports in model plant species have highlighted a role for DNA methylation pathways in the regulation of the somatic-to-reproductive transition in the ovule, suggesting that apomixis (asexual reproduction through seeds) likely relies on RdDM ...

Pistil transcriptome analysis to disclose genes and gene products related to aposporous apomixis in Hypericum perforatum L. [PDF]
Unlike sexual reproduction, apomixis encompasses a number of reproductive strategies,which permit maternal genome inheritance without genetic recombination and syngamy.
