Genetics of Alternating Sexes in Walnuts

Scientists have uncovered a genetic mechanism in walnuts and their ancestors that has remained stable for 40 million years. Male-first or female-first flowering, balanced by a single genetic locus, parallels sex determination in animals. This evolutionary trait ensures genetic diversity, with distinct pathways evolving independently in walnuts and pecans.

Discovery of key genetic sequence essential for plant reproduction

A research group identified a genetic sequence in thale cress that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is found in all plant species, it is expected to contribute to future crossbreeding between plant species.

#Plants use scaffold proteins to facilitate #crosstalk between #signaling pathways. Masood et al. provide a paradigm for how these proteins finely tune #phytohormone signaling to control #PlantDevelopment.

This persistent little weed is a real #SuperSpecies - It can self-pollinate, produce copious amounts of sticky seeds (in tiny capsule-pods which explosively discharge seeds up to 5 meters!!) which stick to clothing, footwear, and are unwittingly dispersed by people.
