Scientists solve plant sperm puzzle
Chloroplasts are where plant cells perform photosynthesis and wheat, like many other plants, inherits chloroplasts only from the mother through small precursors called plastids.
But how this happened was unknown – why didn’t the male’s chloroplast DNA travel with the rest in sperm?
By tagging plastids in wheat with a protein that glowed green scientists at Rothamsted Research and the University of Manchester could watch them in developing pollen grains. They saw for the first time that plastids are degraded in sperm cells just before fertilisation, meaning only plastids from the mother plant are inherited by the offspring.
In the image above the top line shows the protein attached to the plastids in wheat pollen, in the bottom row it is untargeted.
The finding could be used to help breed better strains of wheat, one of the world’s most important and valuable crops.

The Autumn Leaves, drift by my window, the autumn leaves of red and gold…
I know its a bit early to post this, but its always a good time to learn about autumnal botany!
Autumn is probably my favourite time of year and this is the reason why!

When you have to go to @sprytraining in the morning and you’re hoping this dinner will cancel out the 12 sweetsops and the mango guava paste plus all the other nonsense that you’ve consumed for the weekend
