The transcriptional regulatory structure of plant genomes remains poorly defined relative to
animals. It is unclear how many cis-regulatory elements exist, where these elements lie …

Heavy metal-associated isoprenylated plant proteins (HIPPs) are a metallochaperone-like
protein family comprising a combination of structural features unique to vascular plants …

With the recent advances in genomics and sequencing technologies, databases of
transcriptomes representing many cellular processes have been assembled. Meiotic …

Key message The use of a meiosis I-specific promoter increased the efficiency of targeted
mutagenesis and will facilitate the manipulation of homologous recombination. Abstract The …

Background A major step in the higher plant life cycle is the decision to leave the mitotic cell
cycle and begin the progression through the meiotic cell cycle that leads to the formation of …

Abstract Background and Aims During the analysis of plant male meiocytes coming from
destroyed meiocyte columns (united multicellular structures formed by male meiocytes in …

Though sexually reproductive plants share the same principle and most processes in
meiosis, there are distinct features detectable. To address the similarities and differences of …

Background Meiosis is a form of specialized cell division that marks the transition from
diploid meiocyte to haploid gamete, and provides an opportunity for genetic reassortment …

Background The in vivo determination of the cell-specific chromosome number provides a
valuable tool in several aspects of plant research. However, current techniques to determine …

Despite conservation of the process of meiosis, recombination landscapes vary between
species, with large genome grasses such as barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) exhibiting a …
