Abstract Proper flower development is essential for sexual reproductive success and the setting of fruits seeds. The availability a high quality genome sequence pineapple makes it an excellent model studying fruit floral organ development. In this study, we sequenced 27 different samples integrated nine published RNA-seq datasets to generate tissue- stage-specific transcriptomic profiles. Pairwise comparisons weighted gene co-expression network analysis successfully identified ovule-,...
Abstract In flowering plants, pollen tube growth is essential for delivering immotile sperm cells during double fertilization, directly influencing seed yield. This process relies on vesicle-mediated trafficking to sustain tip and fertility. However, investigating challenging in non-model plants due the lack of transgenic tools. Here, we developed a method transiently inhibit vesicle activity tubes wishbone flower (Torenia fournieri), classic plant sexual reproduction studies, using...
Abstract Female germline cells in flowering plants differentiate from somatic to produce specialized reproductive organs, called ovules, embedded deep inside the flowers. We investigated molecular basis of this distinctive developmental program by performing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) 16,872 single Arabidopsis thaliana ovule primordia at three time points during female differentiation. This allowed us identify characteristic expression patterns main cell types, including and its...
Angiosperm reproductive development is a complex event that includes floral organ development, male and female gametophyte formation interaction between the organs for successful fertilization. Previous studies have revealed redundant function of ATP binding cassette subfamily G (ABCG) transporters ABCG1 ABCG16 in pollen but whether they are involved other processes unknown. Here we show were not only expressed anthers stamen filaments also enriched pistil tissues, including stigma, style,...
Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is an important tropical fruit with high economic value. The quality and yield of pineapple will be affected by various environmental conditions. Under adverse conditions, plants can produce a complex reaction mechanism to enhance their resistance. It has been reported that the member ethylene responsive transcription factors (ERFs) plays crucial role in plant developmental process stress response. However, function these proteins remains limited. In...
SBT (Subtilisin-like serine protease), a clan of proteolytic enzymes, plays versatile role in plant growth and defense. Although family genes have been obtained from studies dicots such as Arabidopsis, little is known about the potential functions monocots. In this study, 54 pineapple ( AcoSBT s) were divided into six subfamilies then identified to be experienced strong purifying selective pressure distributed on 25 chromosomes unevenly. Cis -acting element analysis indicated that almost all...
Understanding germline specification in plants could be advantageous for agricultural applications. In recent decades, substantial efforts have been made to understand several plant species, including Arabidopsis, rice, and maize. However, our knowledge of many agronomically important species remains obscure. Here, we characterized the female subsequent gametophyte development pineapple using callose staining, cytological, whole-mount immunolocalization analyses. We also determined male...
Abstract In flowering plants, the growth of pollen tubes carrying sperm cells to female gametophyte is necessary for double fertilization and seed development. The rate tube tip determines fertility many artificially cultivated plants depends on vesicle-mediated transport cell membrane wall components. However, investigation vesicle hampered by lack transgenic methods economically important plants. Here, we developed a method transiently inhibit activity using brefeldin A (BFA) antisense...
Menopause induces various metabolic disorders due to the rapid decrease of ovarian hormone estrogen. It is involved in increased risk obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and osteoporosis. The pigmented giant embryo cultivar a promising food product for menopause-induced disorders.The effects non-germinated germinated Keunnunjami, new blackish purple rice with embryo, on glucose bone metabolisms ovariectomized rats were investigated.The animals fed normal control diet (NC group) or supplemented...
Background Sugarcane ( Saccharum spontaneum L.), the major sugar and biofuel feedstock crop, is cultivated mainly by vegetative propagation worldwide due to infertility of female reproductive organs resulting in reduction quality output sugar. Deciphering gene expression profile during ovule development will improve our understanding complications underlying sexual reproduction sugarcane. Optimal reference genes are essential for elucidating pattern a given quantitative real-time PCR...
