The immature pollen grain, the microspore, under stress conditions can switch its
developmental program towards proliferation and embryogenesis. The comparison between …

A stress treatment of 32° C for at least 8h was able to change the gametophytic program of
the microspore, switching it to embryogenesis in Brassica napus, an interesting model for …

To analyze the organization of spliceosomal snRNPs in plant nuclei, we have used both
immunofluorescence labelling with the antibody 4G3, raised against the human snRNP …

Blanching and freezing effects are focused on the microscopic structure, whether the
softening of frozen vegetables (carrots) is related to changes in pectic substances or to …

The switch of the gametophytic developmental program toward pollen embryogenesis to
form a haploid plant represents an important alternative for plant breeding. In the present …

The plant hormone abscisic acid regulates gene expression in response to growth stimuli
and abiotic stress. Previous studies have implicated members of the bZIP family of …

The organization of the pre-mRNA splicing machinery has been extensively studied in
mammalian and yeast cells and far less is known in living plant cells and different cell types …

This review has been collectively written. The contribution of the authors is mentioned for
each part. References have been grouped at the end of the review. The objective of this …

The alterations of organization of leaf tissues and cell ultrastructure as a consequence of salt
stress (75 and 150 mM NaCl) were studied in two tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) …

Pollen embryogenesis has been induced in Capsicum annuum L., selecting the late
vacuolate microspore as the suitable developmental stage for the induction. Various modern …
