Comparative gene expression in mature egg cell, fertilized egg cell (1-1.5 hap) and fertilized zygote (2.5-3 hap)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Egg cells represent the female partner that fuses with the sperm cell during fertilization in all multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms—and, in flowering plants, is a founder of the embryo. We examined the transcriptome of Oryza sativa ssp. japonica (cv Katy) using the Affymetrix 57K rice genome GeneChip to provide an overview of genes activated in the maternal gamete, transcripts transmitted by the paternal genome, and changes in transcript up- and down-regulation during fertilization. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in the egg cell at anthesis, complementing prior data on the male germ lineage, and following gene expression during fertilization and gamete fusion.
