The gametophyte represents the sexual phase in the alternation of generations in plants; the
other, nonsexual phase is the sporophyte. Here, we review the evolutionary origins of the …

Many plant processes occur in the context of and in interaction with a surrounding matrix
such as soil (eg root growth and root–microbe interactions) or surrounding tissues (eg pollen …

Invasive or penetrative growth is critical for developmental and reproductive processes (eg,
pollen tube penetration of pistils) and disease progression (eg, cancer metastasis and …

Key message In light of the available discoveries in the field, this review manuscript
discusses on plant reproduction mechanism and molecular players involved in the process …

The precise manipulation of single cells and organisms opens exciting new possibilities for
biological research. In this work, an acoustic rotational manipulation method for imaging …

The cell wall (CW) is a thin and rigid layer encasing the membrane of all plant and fungal
cells. It ensures mechanical integrity by bearing mechanical stresses derived from large …

To reach the female gametophyte, growing pollen tubes must penetrate different tissues
within the pistil, the female reproductive organ of a flower. Past research has identified …

Diacylglycerol kinases (DGK s) play a major role in the production of phosphatidic acid (Ptd
OH) and were implicated in endomembrane trafficking and signalling cascades. In plants …

The acquisition of quantitative information on plant development across a range of temporal
and spatial scales is essential to understand the mechanisms of plant growth. Recent years …
