In vitro antifungal experiments demonstrate that Ver-A can inhibit the sexual mating of sugarcane smut spores at a concentration of 8 μg/mL. Additionally, it shows inhibitory activity against ...

The bryophyte life cycle As with all land plants, bryophytes have an alternation of generations between a diploid spore-producing stage (sporophyte) and a haploid gamete-producing stage ...

But unlike us, the sporophytes produce haploid spores that are released and grow up to produce the haploid moss plants that are filling our wetlands with green this time of year and will ...

1 Many red seaweeds are characterized by a haploid-diploid life cycle in which populations consist of dioecious haploid (gametophyte) and diploid (tetrasporophyte) individuals as well as an additional ...

Fungal spores are very cool. They are similar to a sperm or egg in that they are reproductive structures that have half the number of chromosomes (haploid) as the adult (diploid).

The brown caps eventually burst, releasing haploid spores, which float off to colour another path or sidewalk. In a piece of curiosity-driven research, we removed a gene called KNOX2 from this moss.

Positive haploid spore segregants from a perfectly adapted positive diploid strain themselves require adaptation before they show their optimum growth rate in galactose even though they presumably ...
