Abstract

Analysis of molecular mechanism of reproduction of gymnosperm cycads

Cycads are one of the group of seed plants using motile sperm in their fertilization. Despite the importance of its evolutionary position, the molecular mechanism is almost unknown. In my study, I will elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms by imaging and informatics technology.
