...Jekaterina Truskina; Sophy Boeuf; Joan Renard; Tonni Grube Andersen; Niko Geldner; Gwyneth Ingram ABSTRACT During flowering plant reproduction, anthers produce pollen grains, the development of which is supported by the tapetum, a nourishing maternal tissue that also contributes non-cell...

...Miin-Feng Wu; Qing Tian; Jason W. Reed In flowering plants, diploid sporophytic tissues in ovules and anthers support meiosis and subsequent haploid gametophyte development. These analogous reproductive functions suggest that common mechanisms may regulate ovule and anther development. Two...

... of the floral meristem-identity gene LEAFY . In addition,anther development and pollen microsporogenesis depend on GA-mediated opposition of the function of specific members of the DELLA family of GA-response repressors. We describe the role of a microRNA (miR159) in the regulation of short-day photoperiod...

...R. Kelly Dawe; Michael Freeling ABSTRACT The near absence of cell movement in plants makes clonal analysis a particularly informative method for reconstructing the early events of organ formation. We traced the patterns of cell division during maize anther development by inducing sector boundaries...
