This research shows for the first time, that the cooperation of paternal and maternal factors in the plant zygote helps to shape the child's plant body from the early stage of development.
Not exact matches
Any student who can classify algae as a plant life knows a zygote is human.
The formation of the seed completes the process of reproduction in plants (started with the development of flowers and pollination), with the embryo developed from the zygote and the seed coat from the integuments of the ovule.
«Plant's parent genes cooperate in shaping their child: Discovery of parental factors that lead to asymmetric division of the zygote.»
In a similar manner to animals, a zygote (child) is generated upon fertilization of the mother's egg cell by a father's sperm cell in plants.
«We were able to prove by our research that the cooperation between factors of from the father and the mother is essential for the development of zygotes and embryos in Arabidopsis plants,» says Ueda.
Therefore, elongation of the zygote and the direction of cell division determine the vertical axis of the plant body.
During the process of plant body formation, the zygote elongates in the vertical direction and divides to form the embryo.
The fertilized egg cell (zygote), which is the origin for plants, establishes the plant's body axis from its first cell division.
«Although polarization and asymmetric cell division of zygotes to form the body axis is a common phenomena found in algae, mosses, and flowering plants, the origin of cell polarity and how asymmetric cell division occurs have remained a mystery up to now,» says Dr. Minako Ueda, a lecturer at ITbM, Nagoya University and a leader of this research.
«The reason why this has been difficult was because there was not an efficient method to visualize the dynamics of cell division using the living zygote hiding deep inside the plants,» she continues.
