Cytosolic calcium localization and dynamics during early endosperm development in the genus Agave (Asparagales, Asparagaceae)

Effects of fertilization of male gametes with heavy-ion beam irradiation on embryo and endosperm development in <i>Cyrtanthus mackenii</i>

“…Actin filaments play an important role in coenocytic endosperm development. Actin bundles form a network throughout the endosperm, which enmeshes the endosperm nuclei and supports nuclear migration (Brown et al 2003;Barranco-Guzmán et al 2019;Ali et al 2023). A network of actin bundles was observed in C. mackenii and was connected to the endosperm nuclei (Fig.…”

Simple Whole-Mount Staining Protocol of F-Actin for Studies of the Female Gametophyte in Agavoideae and Other Crassinucellate Ovules

“…During reproduction of higher plants, actin filaments also play an important role; they are involved in pollen tube elongation (Vidali et al, 2001), vesicle and organelle transport (Drøbak et al, 2004;Cai and Cresti, 2009) and self-incompatibility responses (Roldán et al, 2012). Moreover, actin is involved in the female gametophyte development (Huang et al, 1999;Kawashima and Berger, 2015), in double fertilization (Huang and Sheridan, 1998;Kawashima et al, 2014) and the subsequent processes of endosperm (Świerczyńska and Bohdanowicz, 2003;Barranco-Guzmán et al, 2019) and embryo development in the seed (Kimata et al, 2016).…”
