DEMETER, a DNA Glycosylase Domain Protein, Is Required for Endosperm Gene Imprinting and Seed Viability in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: The authors isolated mutations in Arabidopsis to understand how the female gametophyte controls embryo and endosperm development and identified the DEMETER (DME) gene, which is required for maternal allele expression of the imprinted MEDEA (MEA) Polycomb gene in the central cell andendosperm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in FIE, a WD Polycomb Group Gene, Allow Endosperm Development without Fertilization

TL;DR: Cloning of the Arabidopsis FERTILIZATION-INDEPENDENT ENDOSPERM (FIE) gene suggests that the FIE Polycomb protein functions to suppress a critical aspect of early plant reproduction, namely, endosperm development, until fertilization occurs.

Control of fertilization-independent endosperm development by the MEDEA polycomb gene in Arabidopsis (reproductionyembryoyseedyapomixis)

TL;DR: Cloned and sequenced the F644 gene and showed that it encodes a SET-domain polycomb protein, and found that F644 is identical to MEDEA (MEA), a gene whose maternal-derived allele is required for embryogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterologous expression of the C-terminal antigenic domain of the malaria vaccine candidate Pfs48/45 in the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

TL;DR: It is shown that the C-terminal antigenic region of the Pfs48/45 antigen can be expressed in the chloroplast of the green algae C. reinhardtii and that this recombinant protein has a conformation recognized by known transmission blocking antibodies.
