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 ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Proper seed development requires coordinated growth among the three genetically distinct components, the embryo, the endosperm, and the seed coat. In Arabidopsis, embryo growth rate accelerates after endosperm cellularization, which requires a chromatin ...

Botanical Studies, 2019 Background Endosperm is a triploid tissue in seed resulting from a sperm nucleus fused with the binucleate central cell after double fertilization. Endosperm may be involved in metabolite production, solute transport, nutrient storage, and germination ...

Reticulon proteins modulate autophagy of the endoplasmic reticulum in maize endosperm
eLife, 2020 Reticulon (Rtn) proteins shape tubular domains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and in some cases are autophagy receptors for selective ER turnover. We have found that maize Rtn1 and Rtn2 control ER homeostasis and autophagic flux in endosperm aleurone

Probing the endosperm gene expression landscape in
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background In species with exalbuminous seeds, the endosperm is eventually consumed and its space occupied by the embryo during seed development. However, the main constituent of the early developing seed is the liquid endosperm, and a significant ...

Evolution and function of epigenetic processes in the endosperm
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 The endosperm is an ephemeral tissue surrounding the embryo that is essential for its development. Aside from the embryo nourishing function, the endosperm serves as a battlefield for epigenetic processes that have been hypothesized to reinforce ...

Dormancy-specific imprinting underlies maternal inheritance of seed dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana
eLife, 2016 Mature seed dormancy is a vital plant trait that prevents germination out of season. In Arabidopsis, the trait can be maternally regulated but the underlying mechanisms sustaining this regulation, its general occurrence and its biological significance ...
