The Ecological Significance of Sexual Reproduction by Tropical Green Algae
The ability of scuba-equipped scientists to directly observe marine organisms in their natural environments has dramatically improved our understanding of marine ecological processes. Despite advances on numerous fronts, however, the basic ecology of many important groups, including the tropical green algae, remains relatively unstudied. This paper examines how aspects of sexual reproduction by...
متن کاملAtypical centrioles during sexual reproduction
Centrioles are conserved, self-replicating, microtubule-based, 9-fold symmetric subcellular organelles that are essential for proper cell division and function. Most cells have two centrioles and maintaining this number of centrioles is important for animal development and physiology. However, how animals gain their first two centrioles during reproduction is only partially understood. It is we...
متن کاملFeedback Loops Link Odor and Pheromone Signaling with Reproduction
Pheromones can have profound effects on reproductive physiology and behavior in mammals. To investigate the neural circuits underlying these effects, we used a genetic transneuronal tracer to identify neurons that synapse with GnRH (LHRH) neurons, the key regulators of reproduction. We then asked whether the connected neurons are presynaptic or postsynaptic to GnRH neurons and analyzed their re...
متن کاملChromatin dynamics during plant sexual reproduction
Plants have the remarkable ability to establish new cell fates throughout their life cycle, in contrast to most animals that define all cell lineages during embryogenesis. This ability is exemplified during sexual reproduction in flowering plants where novel cell types are generated in floral tissues of the adult plant during sporogenesis, gametogenesis, and embryogenesis. While the molecular a...
متن کاملSexual signaling on a cellular level: lessons from plant reproduction.
In this essay, I convey the results of some of our recent studies of reproduction in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Our work has been influenced by the investigations of a large and interactive community of researchers studying a variety of plant systems, including lily, tobacco, maize, and plants from the mustard family (for recent reviews, see Cheung et al., 2000; Dixit and Nasrallah,...
