Abstract

In the past year, the study of angiosperm phylogeny has moved from tentative inferences based on relatively small data matrices into an era of sophisticated, multigene analyses and significantly greater confidence. Recent studies provide both strong statistical support and mutual corroboration for crucial aspects of angiosperm phylogeny. These include identifying the earliest extant lineages of angiosperms, confirming Amborella as the sister of all other angiosperms, confirming some previously proposed lineages and redefining other groups consistent with their phylogeny. This phylogenetic framework enables the exploration of both genotypic and phenotypic diversification among angiosperms.

Male and female synchrony and the regulation of mating in flowering plants.

Successful mating clearly requires synchronous development of the male and female sexual organs. Evidence is accumulating that this synchrony of development also persists after pollination, with both pollen and pistil following complex, but highly integrated developmental pathways. The timing of the male-female interaction is crucial for the pistil, which, far from being a mature passive structure, is engaged in a continuing programme of development: only being receptive to the advances of the pollen for a relatively short window of time. This developmental programme is most conspicuous in the ovary, and this review focuses on the interaction between the male and female tissues in this structure. The review first considers pollen tube development in the ovary, concentrating of the mechanisms by which its growth is modulated at various control points associated with structures within the ovary. Second, alterations to this 'normal' developmental programme are reviewed and considered in the context of a breakdown of developmental synchrony. Finally, the consequences of male-female developmental synchrony and asynchrony are explored. Clearly, a synchronous male-female relationship leads to a successful fertilization. However, lack of synchrony also occurs, and could emerge as a powerful tool to investigate the regulation of mating.

Apomixis in flowering plants: an overview.

Apomixis is a common feature of perennial plants, which occurs in ca. 60% of the British flora, but has been largely ignored by reproductive theoreticians. Successful individuals may cover huge areas, and live to great ages, favoured by 'symmetrical' selection. Apomixis is favoured by colonizing modes, for instance post-glacially. Despite its theoretical advantages, apomixis usually coexists with sexuality, suggesting 'hidden' disadvantages. Agamospermy (apomixis by seed) is relatively uncommon, but gains from the attributes of the seed. It pays agamospermy genes, which discourage recombination, to form co-adapted linkage groups, so that they become targets for disadvantageous recessive mutant accumulation. Consequently, agamospermy genes cannot succeed in diploids and agamosperms are hybrid and highly heterotic. Agamospermous endosperm may suffer from genomic imbalance, so that nutritious ovules, which can support embryos without endosperm, may be preadapted for agamospermy. When primary endosperm nucleus fertilization ('pseudogamy') continues as a requirement for many aposporous agamosperms, selfing sex becomes preadaptive and archesporial sex remains an option. Apomictic populations can be quite variable although apomictic families are much less variable than sexuals. Only in some diplosporous species does sex disappear completely, and in those species some release of variability may persist through somatic recombination. The search for an agamospermy gene suitable for genetic modification should target fertile sexuals with a single localized agamospermy (A) gene, which therefore lack a genetic load. The A gene should coexist alongside sexuality, so that it would be easy to select seedlings of sexual and asexual origins. Plants with sporophytic agamospermy provide all these attributes.
