SDJ, a pollen-expressed type III J-protein in Prunus, directly binds S-RNase and promotes recruitment of SLFL6 to an S-RNase-associated complex
In Prunus, self-incompatibility (SI) is controlled by S-RNases and pollen-expressed F-box proteins, whereas the molecular processes governing S-RNase regul

The SbTDR gene is required for anther development and male fertility in Sorghum bicolor
Anthers are essential in plant reproduction and are also crucial in agriculture, because hybrid seed production typically relies on the manipulation of male fertility. Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is the fifth most produced grain...

Close contact: role of the extracellular matrix in cell adhesion and separation during plant development and reproduction
In plant organisms, cells have two ways of being connected to each other. They are either adhering to the same neighbouring cells since mitosis or they enter in contact de novo with a new cell and adhered themselves. These different inte...

PbrFEN-1 positively regulates pear pollen tube growth and is involved in the self-incompatibility response
S-RNase-mediated gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) prevents self‑fertilization by inhibiting the growth of self-pollen tubes, yet the contribution of DNA metabolism, particularly radiation sensitive 2 (RAD2) family nucleases, to th...

Apomixis frequency in polyploid wild populations of Psidium cattleyanum f. lucidum (Myrteae, Myrtaceae)
The link between apomictic reproduction and polyploidy in plants has generated numerous hypotheses. Psidium cattleyanum is a valuable model for investigating this relationship, as it is a polyploid woody species that exhibits pseudogamou...

Morphological basis for the development of pistillate and staminate florets in a dioecious species of Poa (Poeae, Pooideae, Poaceae)
The formation of unisexual florets in Poaceae occurs through diverse developmental pathways. However, the morphogenetic mechanisms controlling sex determination in dioecious grasses remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the dev...

Basis of apomixis in flowering plants – state of the art and research perspectives
In most angiosperm plants, seeds are produced through a sexual process. Some angiosperms have developed an alternative reproductive strategy termed apomixis which involves producing seeds without the key steps of sexual development (i.e....

SWI3A/B regulates the transition from vegetative to reproductive phase in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha
Land plants alternate between multicellular haploid and diploid phases, requiring a tight coordination between vegetative growth and sexual reproduction. We investigated SWI3A/B , an ancient core subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, of the no...
