Flowering plants produce flowers and one of the most complex floral structures is the pistil or
the gynoecium. All the floral organs differentiate from the floral meristem. Various reviews …

Angiosperms are the most successful group of land plants. This success is mainly due to the
gynoecium, the innermost whorl of the flower. In Arabidopsis, the gynoecium is a syncarpic …

How transcription factors attain their target gene specificity and how this specificity may be
modulated, acquiring different regulatory functions through the development of plant tissues …

In higher plants, the female germline is formed from the megaspore mother cell (MMC), a
single cell in the premeiotic ovule. Previously, it was reported that mutants in the RNA …

Global climate change has threatened world crop production and food security. Decoding
the adaptive genetic basis of wild relatives provides an invaluable genomic resource for …

Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) is a dioecious, long‐living woody perennial vine. Reduced
generation time and induction of hermaphroditism can accelerate crop improvement and …

Although much is known about seed and fruit development at the molecular level, many
gaps remain in our understanding of how cell wall modifications can impact developmental …

Fertilization and seed formation are fundamental events in the life cycle of flowering plants.
The seed is a functional unit whose main purpose is to propagate the plant. The first step in …

Abstract Background and Aims Morphogenesis occurs through accurate interaction between
essential players to generate highly specialized plant organs. Fruit structure and function are …

The wax gourd (Benincasa hispida) is an important vegetable crop whose fruits contain
