DNA methylation, also known as 5-methylcytosine, is an epigenetic modification that has
crucial functions in plant growth, development and adaptation. The cellular DNA methylation …

Pollen development is a critical step in plant development that is needed for successful
breeding and seed formation. Manipulation of male fertility has proved a useful trait for …

Sex determination evolved to control the development of unisexual flowers. In agriculture, it
conditions how plants are cultivated and bred. We investigated how female flowers develop …

Stamens are the male reproductive organs of flowering plants. They consist of an anther, the
site of pollen development, and in most species a stalk-like filament, which transmits water …

Summary The Streptococcus‐derived CRISPR/Cas9 system is being widely used to perform
targeted gene modifications in plants. This customized endonuclease system has two …

Microsporogenesis and male gametogenesis are essential for the alternating life cycle of
flowering plants between diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte generations. Rice …

In flowering plants, male reproductive development requires the formation of the stamen,
including the differentiation of anther tissues. Within the anther, male meiosis produces …

The micronutrient zinc has an essential role in physiological and metabolic processes in
plants as a cofactor or structural element in 300 catalytic and noncatalytic proteins, but it is …

It has been 10 years since the last review on apomixis, or asexual seed formation, in this
journal (Koltunow, 1993). In that article, emphasis was given to the commonalties known …
