Recent advances in plant kinetochore research

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 12

Опубликована: Янв. 22, 2025

Faithful chromosome segregation is crucial for cell division in eukaryotes, facilitated by the kinetochore, a multi-subunit protein complex that connects chromosomes to spindle microtubules. Recent research has significantly advanced our understanding of kinetochore function plants, including surprising findings about assembly checkpoint, composition inner and unique arrangement holocentric Cuscuta species. Additionally, some proteins plants have been implicated roles beyond segregation, such as cytokinesis regulation involvement developmental processes. This review summarizes recent insights into plant biology, compares kinetochores with those animals fungi, highlights key open questions potential future directions field.

To infinity and beyond: recent progress, bottlenecks, and potential of clonal seeds by apomixis

The Plant Journal, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 121(4)

SUMMARY Apomixis – clonal seed production in plants is a rare yet phylogenetically widespread trait that has recurrently evolved to fix hybrid genotypes over generations. absent from major crop species and been seen as holy grail of plant breeding due its potential propagate vigor perpetuity. Here we exhaustively review recent progress, bottlenecks, the individual components gametophytic apomixis (avoidance meiosis, skipping fertilization by parthenogenesis, autonomous endosperm development), sporophytic apomixis. The Mitosis instead Meiosis system now successfully set up three ( Arabidopsis , rice, tomato), significant hurdles remain for universal bioengineering gametes. Parthenogenesis engineered even more species, incomplete penetrance still remains an issue; discuss choice parthenogenesis genes BABY BOOM PARTHENOGENESIS WUSCHEL ) also how drive egg cell‐specific expression. identification pathways engineer development would allow fully production, here challenges remain. achievements engineering synthetic rice at high show great remaining obstacles toward implementation this are addressed. Overall, practical examples suggest field flourishing agricultural systems could soon take place.
