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.

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.

Loss of function of chromatin remodeler OsCLSY4 leads to RdDM-mediated mis-expression of endosperm-specific genes affecting grain qualities. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics
In plants, RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) sequence-specifically targets transposable elements (TEs) and repeats, often in a tissue-specific manner.

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.

Characterisation of Cellulose Synthase Like F6 (CslF6) Mutants Shows Altered Carbon Metabolism in β-D-(1,3;1,4)-Glucan Deficient Grain in Brachypodium distachyon

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Brachypodium distachyon is a small, fast growing grass species in the Pooideae subfamily that has become established as a model for other temperate cereals of agricultural significance, such as barley (Hordeum vulgare) and wheat (Triticum aestivum).
