Embryo–Endosperm Interactions [PDF]
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2022 In angiosperms, double fertilization triggers the concomitant development of two closely juxtaposed tissues, the embryo and the endosperm. Successful seed development and germination require constant interactions between these tissues, which occur across their common interface. The embryo–endosperm interface is a complex and poorly understood compound

Maize endosperm development [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2021 AbstractRecent breakthroughs in transcriptome analysis and gene characterization have provided valuable resources and information about the maize endosperm developmental program. The high temporal‐resolution transcriptome analysis has yielded unprecedented access to information about the genetic control of seed development.

Mechanism of fertilization-induced auxin synthesis in the endosperm for seed and fruit development
Nature Communications, 2022 The dominance of flowering plants on earth is owed largely to the evolution of maternal tissues such as fruit and seedcoat that protect and disseminate the seeds.

The parent-of-origin lncRNA MISSEN regulates rice endosperm development
Nature Communications, 2021 The cereal endosperm is a major factor determining seed size and shape. However, the molecular mechanisms of endosperm development are not fully understood. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) function in various biological processes.

LEAFY COTYLEDON1 expression in the endosperm enables embryo maturation in Arabidopsis
Nature Communications, 2021 The endosperm provides nutrients and growth regulators to the embryo during seed development. LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) has long been known to be essential for embryo maturation.

Molecular Plant, 2021 Maize (Zea mays) endosperm filling is coordinated with cell expansion to enlarge the grain size, but the mechanism coupling the two processes is poorly understood. Starchy endosperm cells basically contain no visible vacuoles for cell expansion.

Postzygotic reproductive isolation established in the endosperm: mechanisms, drivers and relevance
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2021 The endosperm is a developmental innovation of angiosperms that supports embryo growth and germination. Aside from this essential reproductive function, the endosperm fuels angiosperm evolution by rapidly establishing reproductive barriers between ...

A two-way molecular dialogue between embryo and endosperm is required for seed development
Science, 2020 Filling in the gaps In a plant seed, the embryo lies dormant surrounded by nutritive endosperm while awaiting suitable conditions to germinate. A hydrophobic cuticle around the embryo protects it from catastrophic water loss during the early days of ...

OsYUC11-mediated auxin biosynthesis is essential for endosperm development of rice.
Plant Physiology, 2020 Auxin is a phytohormone essential for plant development. However, our understanding of auxin-regulated endosperm development remains limited. Here, we described rice YUCCA (YUC) flavin-containing monooxygenase encoding gene OsYUC11 as a key contributor ...
