Isolation and molecular characterization of the RecQsim gene in Arabidopsis, rice (Oryza sativa) and rape (Brassica napus)
In any organism that reproduces sexually, DNA Recombination plays vital roles in the generation of allelic diversity as well as in preservation of genome fidelity. Genome fidelity is particularly important in plants because mutations occurring during the development of flowering plants are heritable and can be passed onto the next generation. One of the gene families that play crucial roles in ...
متن کاملFertilization Mechanisms in Flowering Plants
Compared with the animal kingdom, fertilization is particularly complex in flowering plants (angiosperms). Sperm cells of angiosperms have lost their motility and require transportation as a passive cargo by the pollen tube cell to the egg apparatus (egg cell and accessory synergid cells). Sperm cell release from the pollen tube occurs after intensive communication between the pollen tube cell ...
متن کاملIsolation, Characterization and Differentiation of Rat Adipose Tissue Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential of self-renewal and differentiation into different cell types, including blood cells, heart, nerves and cartilage, and have unlimited power for division. These cells can be obtained from cord, before implantation from fertilized cells and also from various tissues of adults although the differentiation power and the ability to reproduce ...
متن کاملIsolation of Sperms from the Pollen Tubes of Flowering Plants during Fertilization.
Sperm cells have been isolated from pollen tubes growing in style segments of the dicotlyledon Rhododendron macgregoriae and the monocotyledon Gladiolus gandavensis by the in vivo/in vitro method at various stages of fertilization. Pollen tubes emerged from the cut end of the style into agar medium, and more than 95% contained sperm cells. Sperm cells were released from the pollen tubes by osmo...
متن کاملPlant Fertilization: Maximizing Reproductive Success
Sperm competition does not occur in flowering plants as typically only a single pair of sperm cells is delivered for double fertilization. Two recent reports show that plants are capable of avoiding reproductive failure when defective sperm cells are released.
