Ectopic expression of a thaumatin-like protein impairs the timely deposition and dissolution of callose during microsporogenesis, leading to microspore death and male sterility in Arabidopsis Plant Reprod. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-13
Key message Two pollen-preferential thaumatin-like proteins show both common and distinctive expression profiles. Precocious expression of one of them drastically disturbs timely deposition and dissolution of callose during microsporogenesis, leading to microspore death. Abstract Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs), members of the pathogenesis-related protein family 5 (PR-5), are involved in plant defenses

Distinctive development of embryo and endosperm caused by male gametes irradiated with carbon-ion beam Plant Reprod. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-09
Abstract Key message In Cyrtanthus mackenii, development of embryo and endosperm were differentially affected by fertilization of male gametes with DNA damage and mutations. Abstract Pollen irradiation with ionizing radiations has been applied in plant breeding and genetic research, and haploid plant induction has mainly been performed by male inactivation with high-dose irradiation. However, the fertilization

JAGGER localization and function are dependent on GPI anchor addition Plant Reprod. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-31
Abstract Key message GPI anchor addition is important for JAGGER localization and in vivo function. Loss of correct GPI anchor addition in JAGGER, negatively affects its localization and function. Abstract In flowering plants, successful double fertilization requires the correct delivery of two sperm cells to the female gametophyte inside the ovule. The delivery of a single pair of sperm cells is achieved

Repair of DNA double-strand breaks in plant meiosis: role of eukaryotic RecA recombinases and their modulators. Plant Reprod. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2022-06-01 Côme Emmenecker,Christine Mézard,Rajeev Kumar
Homologous recombination during meiosis is crucial for the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair that promotes the balanced segregation of homologous chromosomes and enhances genetic variation. In most eukaryotes, two recombinases RAD51 and DMC1 form nucleoprotein filaments on single-stranded DNA generated at DSB sites and play a central role in the meiotic DSB repair and genome stability. These nucleoprotein

Plastid ribosomal proteins (PRPs) can play essential roles in plastid ribosome functioning that affect plant function and development. However, the roles of many PRPs remain unknown, including elucidation of which PRPs are essential or display redundancy.

Although the seed remains small in size during the initial stage of seed development (the lag phase), several studies indicate that environment and assimilate supply level manipulations during the lag phase affect the final seed size. However, the manipulations were not only at the lag phase, making it difficult to understand the specific role of the lag phase in final seed size determination. It also

DNA Methyltransferase 3 (MET3) is regulated by Polycomb group complex during Arabidopsis endosperm development Plant Reprod. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2022-01-28 Louis Tirot, Diane M. V. Bonnet, Pauline E. Jullien
Abstract Complex epigenetic changes occur during plant reproduction. These regulations ensure the proper transmission of epigenetic information as well as allowing for zygotic totipotency. In Arabidopsis, the main DNA methyltransferase is called MET1 and is responsible for methylating cytosine in the CG context. The Arabidopsis genome encodes for three additional reproduction-specific homologs of MET1
