Genetic analysis of female gametophyte development and function.
The female gametophyte is an absolutely essential structure for angiosperm reproduction. It produces the egg cell and central cell (which give rise to the embryo and endosperm, respectively) and mediates several reproductive processes including pollen tube guidance, fertilization, the induction of seed development, and perhaps also maternal control of embryo development. Although much has been ...
متن کاملMolecular genetic control of leaf lifespan in plants - A review
Leaf senescence constitutes the last stage of leaf development in plants and proceeds through a highly regulated program in order to redistribution of micro- and macro-nutrients from the senescing leaves to the developing/growing plant organs. Initiation and progression of leaf senescence is accompanied by massive sequential alterations at various levels of leaf biology including leaf morpholog...
متن کاملGenetics of gametophyte biogenesis in Arabidopsis.
The identification of several mutations and genes involved in sporogenesis and gametogenesis has initiated a genetic framework for understanding gametophyte biogenesis. Recent advances include the molecular characterization of genes required for sporocyte formation and meiosis. These studies have revealed some unexpected interactions linking development of sporophytic cells and tissues with ini...
متن کاملArabidopsis female meiotic mutant
The life cycle of plants alternates between a haploid gametophyte and a diploid sporophyte. In higher plants the gametophyte is reduced to a small number of cells surrounded by sporophytic tissue. The female gametophyte is contained within the ovule and consists of an embryo sac which harbors the egg cell and other associated haploid cells required for fertilization and development of the embry...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Analysis of Two Flowering Related Genes from Apple (Malus × domestica)
Apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.) is the fourth fruit in importance and Iran ranks fifth in apple production in the world. Longevity of juvenility in apple extends breeding cycles and makes its breeding a tough job. To alleviate this barrier via genetic engineering, the genes involved in flowering and floral development of apple and their function must be identified and characterized. Most of thes...
