Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Some drop proteins appear unique to Cephalotaxus and may degrade starch and callose.
- Mechanism Pollination drop proteins appear either secreted or released through ovular cell breakdown.
- Observation Ovular transcripts spanned many gene ontology categories and some may contribute to drop formation, ovule development and pollen-ovule interactions.
- Association Cephalotaxus drop proteomes share defense and carbohydrate modification components with other conifers and gnetophytes.
- Association Likely intracellular proteins constitute a larger component of Cephalotaxus drops than expected from other conifers.
- Observation Nucellar breakdown was observed during Cephalotaxus drop formation.
- Observation Transcriptome data reveal conserved WUSCHEL expression in ovules.
- Method / resource The Cephalotaxus transcriptome provides a framework for studying metabolism in ovules and pollination drops.
