Flower development schedule and AGAMOUS-like gene expression patterns in two morphs of Nigella damascena (Ranunculaceae) differing in floral architecture

TLDR
A precise comparative schedule of floral development in the two floral morphs ofLove-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena) is described, providing further insight into the molecular control of the floral dimorphism in N. damascena and into the processes underlying the transition from a differentiated to an undifferentiated perianth.

Plant Evolutionary Developmental Biology: The Evolvability of the Phenotype

TL;DR: In this paper, Minelli revisited traditional concepts and provided an articulated analysis of genetic and molecular data, including leaf complexity and the evolution of flower organs, handedness, branching patterns, flower symmetry and synorganization, and less conventional topics such as fractal patterns of plant organization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effective callus induction and plant regeneration in callus and protoplast cultures of Nigella damascena L.

TL;DR: The main objective of this study was to develop in vitro systems utilizing N. damascena seedlings, as an easily accessible explant source, for efficient callus induction and proliferation, and plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis, and to validate the usefulness of the obtained callus as a source of protoplasts and their capability to develop into plants.

Floral vascular patterns of the double-flowered and wild-type morphs of Nigella damascena L. (Ranunculaceae)

TL;DR: The perianth of the double-flowered morph of Nigella damascena L. consists of spirally inserted petaloid sepals and sepal-like organs, similar in shape and colour to the petaloids of the wild-type flower, and is devoid of petals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Putative Target Genes of APETALA3-3 During Early Floral Development in Nigella damascena L.

TL;DR: In this paper, a de novo reference transcriptome was generated to carry out a differential gene expression analysis between the wild-type and mutant NdAP3-3 genotypes differing by the presence vs. absence of petals at early stages of floral development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution area of the two floral morphs of Nigella damascena L. (Ranunculaceae): a diachronic study using herbarium specimens collected in France

TL;DR: Knowing about the spatial distribution and the frequency of occurrence of wild-type and mutant populations through time will help botanists and evolutionary biologists investigate the origin and ecological grounds for the maintenance and propagation of the apetalous morph in the wild.

New Algorithms and Methods to Estimate Maximum-Likelihood Phylogenies: Assessing the Performance of PhyML 3.0

TL;DR: A new algorithm to search the tree space with user-defined intensity using subtree pruning and regrafting topological moves and a new test to assess the support of the data for internal branches of a phylogeny are introduced.

The war of the whorls : genetic interactions controlling flower development

TL;DR: The analysis of mutations affecting flower structure has led to the identification of some of the genes that direct flower development, and has shown that the distantly related flowering plants Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhinum majus use homologous mechanisms in floral pattern formation.

Early flower development in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: The early development of the flower of Arabidopsis thaliana is described from initiation until the opening of the bud, and the morphogenesis, growth rate, and surface structure of floral organs were recorded in detail using scanning electron microscopy.

Different Temporal and Spatial Gene Expression Patterns Occur during Anther Development.

TL;DR: Together, these studies show that several independent gene expression programs occur during anther development and that these programs correlate with the differentiated state of specific anther cell types.

Patterns of gene duplication and functional evolution during the diversification of the AGAMOUS subfamily of MADS box genes in angiosperms.

TL;DR: The multiple subfunctionalization events that have occurred in the AGAMOUS (AG) subfamily highlight the potential for gene duplication to lead to dissociation among genetic modules, thereby allowing an increase in morphological diversity.
