Regulation of ovule development.
Ovule development in Arabidopsis and other plants has been the focus of classic and molecular genetic analyses in recent years. This has been an exciting time to be involved in plant developmental biology, because many genetic pathways and regulatory mechanisms have been elucidated. Continued studies of ovule mutants have contributed to and benefited from these advances. Ovule development invol...
متن کاملOvule and embryo development, apomixis and fertilization.
Genetic analyses, particularly in Arabidopsis, have led to the identification of mutants that define different steps of ovule ontogeny, pollen stigma interaction, pollen tube growth, and fertilization. Isolation of the genes defined by these mutations promises to lead to a molecular understanding of these processes. Mutants have also been obtained in which processes that are normally triggered ...
متن کاملOvule abortion in Arabidopsis triggered by stress.
Environmental stresses frequently decrease plant fertility. In Arabidopsis, the effect of salt stress on reproduction was examined using plants grown in hydroponic medium. Salt stress inhibited microsporogenesis and stamen filament elongation. Because plants grown in hydroponic media can be rapidly and transiently stressed, the minimum inductive treatment to cause ovule abortion could be determ...
متن کاملThe Ovule and the Embryo Sac.
The plant life cycle is characterized by the alternation of generations between a diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte. The sporophyte functions to produce spores, which then develop into gametophytes. The differentiated gametophytes in turn produce either the male gametes (sperm) or female gametes (egg cells). In contrast to lower plant species, in which the gametophyte is the dominant...
متن کاملOvule number per flower in a world of unpredictable pollination.
The number of ovules per flower varies over several orders of magnitude among angiosperms. Here we consider evidence that stochastic uncertainty in pollen receipt and ovule fertilization has been a selective factor in the evolution of ovule number per flower. We hypothesize that stochastic variation in floral mating success creates an advantage to producing many ovules per flower because a plan...
