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 ...

Transactivation of Sus1 and Sus2 by Opaque2 is an essential supplement to sucrose synthase‐mediated endosperm filling in maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2020
Summary The endosperm‐specific transcription factor Opaque2 (O2) acts as a central regulator for endosperm filling, but its functions have not been fully defined.

Embryo-Endosperm Interaction and Its Agronomic Relevance to Rice Quality

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Embryo-endosperm interaction is the dominant process controlling grain filling, thus being crucial for yield and quality formation of the three most important cereals worldwide, rice, wheat, and maize.

The Soybean Sugar Transporter GmSWEET15 Mediates Sucrose Export from Endosperm to Early Embryo1[OPEN]

Plant Physiology, 2019
The sugar transporter GmSWEET15 is essential for soybean embryo development and endosperm breakdown as it mediates sucrose transport from the endosperm to the embryo.

Mutation of the imprinted gene OsEMF2a induces autonomous endosperm development and delayed cellularization in rice

The Plant Cell, 2020
In angiosperms, endosperm development comprises a series of developmental transitions controlled by genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that are initiated after double fertilization.

Endosperm development is an autonomously programmed process independent of embryogenesis

bioRxiv, 2020
The seeds of land plants contain three genetically distinct structures: the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat. The embryo and endosperm need to interact and exchange signals to ensure coordinated growth.

Starch Synthase 3 isoforms are essential for normal starch granule initiation in wheat endosperm. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Wheat grains have two distinct types of starch granules. Large, lenticular A‐type granules are formed from a single initiation per amyloplast during early grain development, while numerous small B‐type granules are initiated during later grain development.

From Golden Rice to aSTARice: Bioengineering Astaxanthin Biosynthesis in Rice Endosperm.

Molecular Plant, 2018
Carotenoids are important phytonutrients with antioxidant properties, and are widely used in foods and feedstuffs as supplements. Astaxanthin, a red-colored ketocarotenoid, has strong antioxidant activity and thus can benefit human health.

The Effect of Lactic Acid in Association With Steam in Reducing Microorganisms in Soft Wheat

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Within the food industry, steam is an effective method of microbial reduction for a variety of products. Previous studies have shown that tempering soft wheat with organic acids, as well as steam application, can potentially reduce wheat's microbial load with minor changes in the functional properties of the flour ...
