Gametophyte development
Unlike animals, which produce single-celled gametes directly from meiotic products, plants have generations which alternate between the diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte (Figure 1A). The diploid sporophytic generation develops from the zygote, the fusion product of haploid gametes. Sporophytic cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores, which divide mitotically to form the multice...
متن کاملFemale gametophyte development.
Early in their evolution, plants acquired a life cycle that alternates between a multicellular haploid organism, the gametophyte, and a multicellular diploid organism, the sporophyte. Angiosperms have both female and male gametophytes. The female gametophyte is critical to many steps of the angiosperm reproductive process, including pollen tube guidance, fertilization, the induction of seed dev...
متن کاملControl of male gametophyte development.
In a previous review of male gametophyte development (McCormick, 1993), it was noted that the two areas posed by Mascarenhas (1975) as fruitful areas for future research were the following. What are the differences in the two cytoplasms that determine the different cell fates of the generative and vegetative cells? And what are the functions of pollen-specific proteins? Now, 10 years later, the...
متن کاملMale Gametophyte Development and Function
Male gametophyte development in higher plants is a complex process that requires the coordinated participation of various cell and tissue types and their associated specific gene expression patterns. The male gametophytic life cycle can be divided into a developmental phase leading to the formation of mature pollen grains, and a functional or progamic phase, beginning with the impact of the gra...
متن کاملMale and female gametophyte development in Achillea tenuifolia (Asteraceae)
The anther, pollen and ovule development in Achillea tenuifolia were studied with a bright field microscopy. Results showed that the anther is of tetrasporangiate type and the anther wall is composed by four layers: an epidermis, an endothecium, one middle layer and a tapetum layer. Tapetum is of secretory type and its cells showed polyploidy. Pollen tetrads were tetrahedral, microspores were v...
