The Famennian is a period of increased taxonomic diversity for the first representatives of the major plant groups,especially the spermatophytes(i.e.the seed plants)that,today,represent the most abundant and diversifi...

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)play critical roles in regulating gene expression in plants,yet their functions underlying cultivated diploid Gossypium arboreum cotton ovule development are largely unknown.Here,we acquired small RNA...

Grain production in cereal crops depends on the stable formation of male and female gametes in the flower.In most angiosperms, the female gamete is produced from a germline located deep within the ovary, protected by ...
We have characterized the number of ovules per ovary (NoOV) in cacao plants originated from crossing the clones CCN 51 and TSH 1188 (segregating progeny) and determined the heritability of this characteristic in order...

An increasing number of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play crucial regulatory roles in the process of plant development. Here, we used high-throughput sequencing combined with computational analysis to chara...

[Objective]The aim was to determine the collection standard of cotton ovules on different days before flowering,and then to more clearly study the changes in gene expression of cotton ovules before and after blooming....
The involvement of small RNAs in cotton fiber development is under explored.The objective of this work was to directly clone,annotate,and analyze small RNAs of developing ovules to reveal
The guidance signals that drive pollen tube navigation inside the pistil and micropyle targeting are still, to a great extent, unknown. Previous studies in vitro showed that nitric oxide (NO) works as a negative che...
Recently, whether Archaefructus has bisexual multi-parted flowers or just inflorescences of unisexual flowers, and whether it is ancestral to all angiosperms or a derived eudicot have been debated. Here, from the same...
The Myb family of proteins is a group offunctionally diverse transcriptional activatorsfound in both plants and animals that ischaracterized by a conserved DNA bindingdomain of approximately 50 amino acids.Inplants,My...
