Structural character of sorghum endosperm transfer cells and their relationship with embryo and endosperm

International Journal of Plant Biology, 2010
Endosperm transfer cells mainly occur in the epithelial layer of the endosperm and transport the nutrient unloaded by the maternal vascular tissue. They have wall ingrowths that can facilitate solute transportation.

Cell Structure and Dynamics of Galactomannan Secretion in Caesalpinia pulcherrima (Leguminosae) Endosperm [PDF]

Plants
Galactomannans are a typical reserve polysaccharide in the endosperm of leguminous seeds; they turn the endosperm hard when dry and gelatinous and swollen when hydrated.

Effect of Doum (Hyphaene thebaica) mesocarp and endosperm extracts on Triton X-100 induced hyperlipidemic rat: mitigative cardiovascular and renal dysfunction risks [PDF]

Frontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionHyperlipidemia increases the risk of cardiovascular (CVD) progression and renal dysfunction.ObjectivesThis study aimed to identify, for the first time, the protective effects of both the Hyphaene thebaica (Doum) edible mesocarp (DM) and ...

Integration of embryo–endosperm interaction into a holistic and dynamic picture of seed development using a rice mutant with notched-belly kernels

Crop Journal, 2022
Interaction between the embryo and endosperm affects seed development, an essential process in yield formation in crops such as rice. Signals that mediate communication between embryo and endosperm are largely unknown.

Endosperm–Embryo Communications: Recent Advances and Perspectives

Plants, 2021
Seed maturation depends on well-coordinated communications between the processes of endosperm and embryo development. The endosperm is considered to be destined to support embryo development and the timing of endosperm cellularization is critical for ...

Dynamic Transcriptome-Based Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis Reveals Key Modules and Hub Genes Associated With the Structure and Nutrient Formation of Endosperm for Wax Corn

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The endosperm of corn kernel consists of two components, a horny endosperm, and a floury endosperm. In the experiment, a kind of floury endosperm corn was identified.

Metabolic Disturbance Induced by the Embryo Contributes to the Formation of Chalky Endosperm of a Notched-Belly Rice Mutant

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Grain chalkiness is a key quality trait of the rice grain, whereas its underlying mechanism is still not thoroughly understood because of the complex genetic and environmental interactions.

Genetic and environmental manipulation of Arabidopsis hybridization barriers uncovers antagonistic functions in endosperm cellularization

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Speciation involves reproductive isolation, which can occur by hybridization barriers acting in the endosperm of the developing seed. The nuclear endosperm is a nutrient sink, accumulating sugars from surrounding tissues, and undergoes coordinated ...

The Development of Endosperm in Grasses [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2009
The grass seed or caryopsis originates from a monocarpellary ovary with a single ovule and contains the main storage tissue, the endosperm. For most grass crop species (i.e. cereals), the value of the crop is largely determined by the endosperm, both in quantitative and qualitative terms ...

Mechanisms of endosperm initiation [PDF]

Plant Reproduction, 2016
Overview of developmental events and signalling during central cell maturation and early endosperm development with a focus on mechanisms of sexual and autonomous endosperm initiation. Endosperm is important for seed viability and global food supply. The mechanisms regulating the developmental transition between Female Gametophyte (FG) maturation and ...
