Pollen development is a critical step in plant development that is needed for successful
breeding and seed formation. Manipulation of male fertility has proved a useful trait for …

Cell-to-cell signaling is essential for many processes in plant growth and development,
including coordination of cellular responses to developmental and environmental cues …

Stamens are the male reproductive organs of flowering plants. They consist of an anther, the
site of pollen development, and in most species a stalk-like filament, which transmits water …

In flowering plants, tapetum degeneration is proposed to be triggered by a programmed cell
death (PCD) process during late stages of pollen development; the PCD is thought to …

In plants, the cambium and procambium are meristems from which vascular tissue is
derived. In contrast to most plant cells, stem cells within these tissues are thin and extremely …

Microsporogenesis and male gametogenesis are essential for the alternating life cycle of
flowering plants between diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte generations. Rice …

In flowering plants, male reproductive development requires the formation of the stamen,
including the differentiation of anther tissues. Within the anther, male meiosis produces …

The SBP-box transcription factor SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE8
(SPL8) is required for proper development of sporogenic tissues in Arabidopsis thaliana …

In flowering plants, male fertility depends on proper cell differentiation in the anther.
However, relatively little is known about the genes that regulate anther cell differentiation …

Controlling male fertility is an important goal for plant reproduction and selective breeding.
Hybrid vigour results in superior growth rates and increased yields of hybrids compared with …
