Plant germline formation: common concepts and developmental flexibility in sexual and asexual reproduction
The life cycle of flowering plants alternates between two heteromorphic generations: a
diploid sporophytic generation and a haploid gametophytic generation. During the …

Peptide signalling during the pollen tube journey and double fertilization
Flowering seed plants (angiosperms) have evolved unique ways to protect their gametes
from pathogen attack and from drying out. The female gametes (egg and central cell) are …

Fluorescent in situ sequencing (FISSEQ) of RNA for gene expression profiling in intact cells and tissues
Abstract RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) measures the quantitative change in gene expression
over the whole transcriptome, but it lacks spatial context. In contrast, in situ hybridization …
