Diploid gametes in maize by mutation of A-Type cyclins: a step towards apomeiosis and synthetic apomixis.

Debra J. Skinner, A.H. Gaikwad, J.A. Fenner, J. Green, Timothy Kelliher, M-J. Cho, Venkatesan Sundaresan

This study shows that mutating maize A-type cyclin genes leads to diploid gametes and tetraploid progeny, advancing synthetic apomixis in maize.

Reprogramming of 24nt siRNAs in rice gametes

Chenxin Li, Hengping Xu, Fangfang Fu, Scott D. Russell, Venkatesan Sundaresan, Jonathan Isaiah Gent

The paper characterizes 24nt siRNA distributions in rice gametes, revealing distinct patterns compared to vegetative tissues and suggesting reprogramming of small RNA pathways in gametes.
