In somatic cell division, cytokinesis is the final step of the cell cycle and physically divides
the mother cytoplasm into two daughter cells. In the meiotic cell division, however, pollen …

Morphological diversity (disparity) is a key component of biodiversity and increasingly a
focus of botanical research. Despite the wide range of morphologies represented by pollen …

Pollen grains of flowering plants display a fascinating diversity of forms. The observed
diversity is determined by the developmental mechanisms involved in the establishment of …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: A diverse range of pollen morphologies occurs within the large,
paraphyletic legume subfamily Caesalpinioideae, especially among early‐branching …

Recently, the siRNAs pathways, and especially reproductive phasiRNAs, have attracted
attention in eudicots since their biological roles are still unknown and their biogenesis took …

Seedlessness is one of the most important agronomic traits in mandarins on the fresh fruit
market. Creation of triploid plants is an important breeding strategy for development of new …

Background In most flowering plants, pollen is dispersed as monads. However, aggregated
pollen shedding in groups of four or more pollen grains has arisen independently several …

The contribution of developmental constraints and selective forces to the determination of
evolutionary patterns is an important and unsolved question. We test whether the long‐term …

We provide an overview of phylogenetically useful pollen structures in five out of the new six
subfamily classification of the legume family (Fabaceae). A large and diverse range of pollen …

Annonaceae, comprising approximately 107 genera and 2400 species, is the largest family
among early-divergent Magnoliales. Previous studies have concentrated on the binding …
