Cytological characterization and allelism testing of anther developmental mutants identified in a screen of maize male sterile lines. [PDF]
Proper regulation of anther differentiation is crucial for producing functional pollen, and defects in or absence of any anther cell type result in male sterility.

Gene Regulatory Network for Tapetum Development in Arabidopsis thaliana
In flowering plants, male gametophyte development occurs in the anther. Tapetum, the innermost of the four anther somatic layers, surrounds the developing reproductive cells to provide materials for pollen development.

MicroR159 regulation of most conserved targets in Arabidopsis has negligible phenotypic effects [PDF]
BACKGROUND A current challenge of microRNA (miRNA) research is the identification of biologically relevant miRNA:target gene relationships. In plants, high miRNA:target gene complementarity has enabled accurate target predictions, and slicing of target ...

Analysis of the Maize dicer-like1 Mutant, fuzzy tassel, Implicates MicroRNAs in Anther Maturation and Dehiscence [PDF]
Sexual reproduction in plants requires development of haploid gametophytes from somatic tissues. Pollen is the male gametophyte and develops within the stamen; defects in the somatic tissues of the stamen and in the male gametophyte itself can result in ...

Proline synthesis in developing microspores is required for pollen development and fertility [PDF]
Background: In many plants, the amino acid proline is strongly accumulated in pollen and disruption of proline synthesis caused abortion of microspore development in Arabidopsis.

Occurrence of parietal and invasive tapetum in Dyckia strehliana (Bromeliaceae): first report for the Family [PDF]
Tapetal tissue plays essential roles in the formation of generative cells, as it is related to their nutrition and development in anthers. Among the few species of Bromeliaceae for which tapetal tissue has been describe, most have a secretory tapetum and

Biology and Function of miR159 in Plants
MicroR159 (miR159) is ancient, being present in the majority of land plants where it targets a class of regulatory genes called GAMYB or GAMYB-like via highly conserved miR159-binding sites.

Comprehensive Insight into Tapetum-Mediated Pollen Development in Arabidopsis thaliana
In flowering plants, pollen development is a key process that is essential for sexual reproduction and seed set. Molecular and genetic studies indicate that pollen development is coordinatedly regulated by both gametophytic and sporophytic factors ...

Neonatal White Matter Maturation Is Associated With Infant Language Development [PDF]
Background: While neonates have no sophisticated language skills, the neural basis for acquiring this function is assumed to already be present at birth.
