Female gametophyte development and embryogenesis in Taxus baccata L.
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Crassinucellate ovules are initiated in <em>Taxus</em>, directly from the shoot apex. The rudimentary pollen chamber is formed in the nucellus. A linear tetrad of megaspores with a functional chalazal megaspore is formed. A free-nuclear stage is charac-teristic at the beginning of megagametophyte development.

New insights into the antifungal activity of Taxus baccata L.
Genetics & Applications, 2019 Taxus baccata L., yew, is dioecious, small to medium-sized evergreen tree,native to Europe, Africa and Asia, but it is cultivated worldwide because of itsornamental features. It is long known that all parts of yew (except for aril) aretoxic, due to the alkaloid taxine. Nevertheless, some parts of yew tree can beused to treat cancer and as antimicrobial
