This review focuses on anther structure from an evolutionary perspective by highlighting their diversity across plant species. We summarise new findings that illustrate the complexities of anther development and evaluate how they challenge established models of anther form and function, and how they may help to deliver future sustainable crop ...
22 wrz 2022 · Understanding anther development is essential in the study of plant reproduction, controlled crop breeding, and hybrid seed production as anthers are the source of pollen and thus male gametes in flowering plants.
Anther, in flowering plants, the part of a stamen that produces and contains pollen. Each anther is generally borne at the tip of a long slender stalk known as a filament and consists of two lobes that each house a pair of pollen sacs (microsporangia) that produce pollen for pollination.
22 wrz 2022 · Chloroplasts in En cells of wild-type anther function as starch storage places before stage 10 but as photosynthetic factories since the stage 10 to enable starch metabolism and carbohydrate...
The male reproductive organ of flowering plants, the anther, is the primary site for microsporogenesis, which is characterized by the formation of microspores from microsporocytes. (Albert et al., 2011; Xue et al., 2021).
11 cze 2004 · In plants with dry stigmas, regulated pollen hydration provides an effective early barrier to incompatible pollination. This mode is active in self-incompatible crosses (Sarker et al., 1988) and in crosses between species (Lewis and Crowe, 1958; Hülskamp et al., 1995).
Despite its significance in the reproductive cycle of flowering plants, and its importance in helping to interpret plant evolution, the stamen, and its fertile, pollen-bearing part, the anther, have received relatively little scientific attention.
