Background - With female multiple mating (polyandry), male-male competition extends to after copulation (sperm competition). Males respond to this selective pressure through physiological, morphologic
Meiosis represents an important event in the life cycle of all sexually reproducing organisms. It is a specialized cell division comprising of a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds
Total RNA from larch microsporocytes in various stages of first meiotic division diplotene and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) with antibodies against Sm proteins
To investigate global gene expression during meiosis in S. moellendorfii, digital gene-expression profiling of a series of sporangia at different developmental stages was performed by Illumina HiSeq™
Meiosis is the biological basis for evolution in sexually reproducing eukaryotes. Our previous work in Arabidopsis meiocytes evidenced that meiocyte-specific sRNAs (ms-sRNAs) have distinct characteris
