DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-05832-1
Abstract: Malaria blood stage parasite development relies on glycolysis to generate ATP, which requires pyruvate to lactate conversion by an essential lactate dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH1). Conversely, parasites developing in the mosquito employ mitochondrial chemiosmosis for ATP… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2025.05.26.656211
Abstract: In volvocine algae, gametogenesis is triggered by different cues depending on the species and their sexual systems. In isogamous unicellular organisms such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which produce gametes of equal size and morphology, nitrogen depletion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1104/pp.17.00306
Abstract: Active H3K4me3 deposition is essential for gametophyte chromatin landscape, playing critical roles in gamete mitotic cell cycle progression and pollen vegetative cell function. Epigenetic reprogramming occurring during reproduction is crucial for both animal and plant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13059-024-03222-w
Abstract: Epigenetic marks are reprogrammed during sexual reproduction. In flowering plants, DNA methylation is only partially remodeled in the gametes and the zygote. However, the timing and functional significance of the remodeling during plant gametogenesis remain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1013687
Abstract: Protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium cause malaria and involve infection of multiple hosts and cell types during the life cycle. Producing sexually fit gametocytes is essential for transmitting the Plasmodium parasite into an anopheline… read more here.

DOI: 10.26508/lsa.202403056
Abstract: This study reveals how Plasmodium kinases regulate MTOC, axoneme, and kinetochore organisation in male gametogenesis, providing key insights into potential targets for malaria transmission control. Sexual development and male gamete formation of the malaria parasite… read more here.

WRKY2/34–VQ20 Modules in Arabidopsis thaliana Negatively Regulate Expression of a Trio of Related MYB Transcription Factors During Pollen Development
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Frontiers in Plant Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2018.00331
Abstract: Male gametogenesis in plants is tightly controlled and involves the complex and precise regulation of transcriptional reprogramming. Interactions between WRKY proteins and VQ motif-containing proteins are required to control these complicated transcriptional networks. However, our… read more here.
