Genomic and epigenomic events occurring during germination
Blog, Plant Science Research Weekly, Research, Research BlogSeeds integrate environmental information and trigger molecular pathways that help with the decision making process of whether to germinate or not. Several studies in numerous species have shown details of global transcriptomic changes during germination. However, Narsai et al. dig a little deeper. By…
Review: Exocyst, exosomes, and autophagy in pollen-stigma interactions ($)
Blog, Plant Science Research Weekly, Research, Research BlogSome plants are able to suppress inbreeding through a system called self-incompatibility, in which “self”-pollen is unable to reach “self” eggs. Self-incompatibility has evolved multiple times and takes several forms. Goring reviews the cellular processes of self-incompatibility that occur in…
