Researchers have identified a novel mechanism through which a protein in barley supports female fertility and could help safeguard yield security in the future.

Edits which take place that early in the developmental process are passed on to every other cell as the embryo grows, including the “germline” cells that will eventually produce sperm or eggs.

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.

contains two different cell types- germ cells that will eventually become sperm and somatic cells that support the germline within the niche and as germ cell differentiate. Our lab has identified ...

A team at Baylor College of Medicine conducted research to identify novel cell-surface cancer/germline antigens (CGAs) expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that could serve as targets for ...

The female gamete is called an ovum or egg. The plural is ova. Ova are produced from germline cells in the ovaries. Ovaries contain immature ova at various stages of development. Each ova is ...
