Male fertility: A case of enzyme identity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The plant hormone jasmonate has been implicated in male fertility in Arabidopsis. Recent studies have identified the enzyme required for a critical step of jasmonate synthesis in anthers and shown that this enzyme really is required for male fertility.

Selective restoration of male fertility in mice lacking angiotensin-converting enzymes by sperm-specific expression of the testicular isozyme.
Although angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) has been studied primarily in the context of its role in blood pressure regulation, this widely distributed enzyme has many other physiological functions. The ACE gene encodes two isozymes. The somatic isozyme is expressed in many tissues, including vascular endothelial cells, renal epithelial cells, and testicular Leydig cells, whereas the testicula...

Male fertility assessment is performed in the context of WHO guidelines. Currently the 5th edition of the WHO guidelines have been published and technicians and clinicians are confronted with a new set of criteria. Apart from coming to grips with these criteria it is accepted/assumed that human fertility is declining? However, both aspects are debatable. The accuracy/consistency of semen evalua...
متن کاملComparative Analyses of Some of the Free Amino Acids in Anthers of Fertile and Genetic Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Sorghum.
ENETIC cytoplasmic male sterility in Sorghum is fundamentally an aspect of the problem of gene action and nuclear-cytoplasmic interaction. Our interest in the problem stems not from a concern with the practical use so effectively being made of the failure of certain lines to produce functional pollen but rather from a desire to know more about the basic components of this process as an example ...
