Endosperm morphogenesis in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Wheat endosperm morphogenesis was studied by light microscopy during the entire growth period of anthesis to maturity. Four developmental stages have been described in this thesis: (1) double fertilization, (2) formation of the lower endosperm cells, (3)

Enhanced iron and zinc accumulation in transgenic rice with the ferritin gene
In this report, we show that the expression of the soybean ferritin gene, driven by the endosperm-specific glutelin promoter, leads to higher iron and zinc levels in transgenic indica rice grains.

Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa) is an important staple food, feeding more than half of the global population. A feasible improvement of rice yield is necessary to meet the ever–growing food demands. Genomic selection (GS), as an advanced breeding technique, enables the prediction of phenotypes solely based on genotypic data using a constructed genomic ...

Abstract Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) (Thinopyrum intermedium, Kernza) is a perennial forage grass undergoing neo‐domestication as a grain crop. IWG provides numerous ecosystem services and has the potential to benefit rural communities as an alternative crop option with high market value.

Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a globally important cereal crop which provides ∼20% calories in human diet. Identifying genes and elucidating their functions is still challenging in wheat due to its large genome (∼16 Gb) with significant amount of repetitive elements.

Seed development and carbohydrates
Seeds assure the plant the onset of a next generation and a way of dispersal. They consist of endosperm and an embryo (originating from gametophytic tissue), enveloped by a seed coat (sporophytic tissue). Plants generate different types of seeds.

ABSTRACT Fortifying traditional wheat‐based products can diversify bakery applications and enhance the use of complementary grains in the food industry. Unlike common wheat, intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) is a perennial grain that is reported to have higher protein, fiber, and ash content. To maximize the use of IWG in bakery applications, this research

Vegetation type and microclimate shape recruitment of a generalist tree seedling, while fire history alters cotyledon use over time. Abstract Temperature and humidity are key factors influencing seed germination, varying across vegetation types and in response to disturbances such as fire.
