Pistil final morphology relies on floral meristem homeostasis, proper organ specification and regional differentiation. These are developmental processes in which sophisticated signaling networks are being uncovered. However, further elements for fine-tuning adjustment still remain to be disclosed. At the molecular level, posttranscriptional modulators may fit such a profile. In this work, we d...

Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) is a dioecious, long-living woody perennial vine. Reduced generation time and induction of hermaphroditism can accelerate crop improvement facilitate alternative farming for better food security in the face climate change. Previous studies identified that CENTRORADIALIS genes CEN CEN4 act to repress flowering, whilst male-specific Shy Girl (SyGl) gene with homolo...

Background and aims: The onion (Allium cepa var. cepa) is an allogamous species in which male-sterile lines have been developed. However, the structure of flower floral nectaries only briefly described. objective this study to update anatomy data, comparing gynoecium androecium male-fertile lines, analyze three-dimensional nectary. M&M: Conventional optical scanning electron microscopy tech...

Vuralia turcica is an endemic plant species with a polycarpellary gynoecium and has the ability to survive in salt stress. However, maintenance of this currently challenging because climatic changes plant’s habitat, intensive agricultural purposes, grazing, like. Gynogenesis promising method for micropropagation useful technic genetic engineering. The objective study was analyze gynogenesis V. ...

Abstract Detailed anatomical studies of flowers and fruits may render traits phylogenetic importance, but are still rare in the Boraginales. An Old World clade Cordia comprises many dioecious species, floral anatomy is largely unexplored and, hence, structural basis for sex separation. Fresh material buds, functionally unisexual were studied using a stack shot camera. Fixed such crenata , C. cf...
