MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous small RNAs, are broadly involved in plant
development, morphogenesis and responses to various environmental stresses, through …

In higher plants, male meiosis is a key process during microsporogenesis and is crucial for
male fertility and seed set. Meiosis involves a highly dynamic organization of chromosomes …

The flattened leaf form is an important adaptation for efficient photosynthesis, and the
developmental process of flattened leaves has been intensively studied. Classic …

Plant growth and development are highly coordinated by hormones, including
brassinosteroid (BR) and gibberellin (GA). Although much progress has been made in …

Successful pollen formation is essential for plant reproduction. During anther development,
microspore mother cells undergo meiosis to form tetrads. After being released from the …

A photoperiod-and thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (PTGMS) line is the basic material for
two-hybrid rice and is an important genetic breeding resource. Peiai64S (PA64S) is an …

Anther development and pollen fertility of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) conditioned by
Gossypium harknessii cytoplasm (CMS-D2) restorer lines are susceptible to continuous high …

MicroRNAs fine-tune plant growth and resistance against multiple biotic and abiotic
stresses. The trade-off between biomass and resistance can penalize crop yield. In this …

Background Autogamy in cultivated tomato varieties is a derived trait from wild type tomato
plants, which are mostly allogamous. However, environmental stresses can cause …

Key message Latest outcomes assign functional role to non-coding (nc) RNA molecules in
regulatory networks that confer male sterility to plants. Abstract Male sterility in plants offers …
