Research Advances in Plant Female Gametogenesis
|
Abstract:
Female gametogenesis in higher plants undergoes various developmental changes, including the de novo formation of germline cells, the differentiation of the megaspore mother cell, meiosis, megaspore selection, and the development of the embryosac. Therefore, the system is excellent for dissecting these fundamental processes at both the genetic and molecular levels. This review discusses the recent findings about these processes, with a focus on the model plant Arabidopsis.
