I am happy to share the recent publication of a review article from our lab on "the origin of Tapetal cells and their function in pollen development". Springer Nature Shubho Chaudhuri's Lab link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Lovely iniciative, Nick Desnoyer ! Thanks for involving our community in your beautiful project🙏🌸🔬❤️. We all love your amazing movies, and among my favourite ones is this pollen tube growth "in vivo". Looking forward to see this project developing!💪 #ICAR2025 🌱

Delighted to have this community effort online Nature Plants 👉We unified the nomenclature of a unique membrane that enclosed the 🌱 sperm cells as the: PERI-GERM CELL MEMBRANE read more: 📖nature.com/articles/s4147… 📖rdcu.be/dW1Ie

Widiez Thomas 🌽 Nature Plants IASPRR @iasprr.bsky.social The ability of meiotic parallel spindles to restore fertility to haploids was first described in peach in 1971. doi.org/10.21273/JASHS… They have also been reported restore fertility to synaptic mutants of potato and clover.

New Perspective: "The future of genome editing in plants" rdcu.be/ef8aa Genome editing will mimic the natural evolutionary processes that shape genomes; will be used to reshape genomes in a manner that could have happened naturally, but more precisely and more rapidly.
