Homeotic transformation of stamens into pistil-like structures (pistillody) has been reported in cytoplasmic substitution (alloplasmic) lines of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that have the cytoplasm of a related wild species, Aegilops crassa. An ectopic ovule differentiates in the pistil-like stamen in the alloplasmic wheat. The SEEDSTICK (STK)-like class D MADS-box gene, wheat STK (WSTK), was expressed in the primordia of ectopic ovules in the pistil-like stamens as well as in the true pistil, suggesting that ectopic ovule formation results from WSTK expression in the pistil-like stamens of alloplasmic wheat. The ectopic ovule is abnormal as it fails to form complete integuments. Based on the expression pattern of WSTK and B(sister) MADS-box gene, WBsis (wheat B ( sister )), we conclude that WSTK plays a role in determination of ovule identity in the pistil-like stamen, but complete ovule development fails due to aberrant expression of WBsis.

A 23-year-old woman, conceived by ovulation induction presented at 10 weeks amenorrhea with abdominal pain and a positive urinary Beta HCG. 2D ultrasound suggested a right-sided ectopic pregnancy. On 3D ultrasound imaging, an unicornuate uterus with a right rudimentary horn pregnancy of size 6 cm was diagnosed [Figure 1].

Background: The role of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in managing unexplained infertility (UI) is debatable because of the improved success rate of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). This study aims to assess the findings of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in selected women diagnosed with UI to determine the frequency of such pathological conditions in order to manage them properly.
Materials And Methods: The current cross-sectional study was conducted on 96 women who attended an infertility clinic at the educational hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences from March 2018 to February 2020.

The megaspore mother cell (MMC) arises from somatic cells in the ovule primordium and enters meiosis to generate four megaspores. Only the most chalazal (functional megaspore, FM) survives, undergoing a series of mitoses to form the female gametophyte. We show that this commitment to the sexual germline requires spatial regulation of ().

Article Synopsis
- Adenomyosis is a condition where endometrial tissue grows within the uterine muscle (myometrium), leading to symptoms like bleeding, swelling, and pain due to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle.
- The condition can manifest either diffusely or as localized areas and is characterized by islands of benign endometrial glands surrounded by connective tissue, often with signs of recent or chronic bleeding.
- Pregnancy tends to improve symptoms by inhibiting ovulation and causing hormonal and immune system changes, but adenomyosis can still lead to complications such as abnormal placentation and increased risk of bleeding during pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
- * A meta-analysis of eleven studies found that ovulation-induced regimens led to a higher live birth rate and a lower miscarriage rate compared to HRT regimens, but did not significantly affect the risk of HDP.
- * The conclusion suggests that for women with PCOS, opting for ovulation-induced FET may improve the chances of live birth and decrease the risk of miscarriage compared to using HRT.
