The transcription factors ZmNAC128 and ZmNAC130 coordinate with Opaque2 to promote endosperm filling in maize.

The Plant Cell, 2023
Endosperm filling in maize (Zea mays), which involves nutrient uptake and biosynthesis of storage reserves, largely determines grain yield and quality. However, much remains unclear about the synchronization of these processes.

The NAC transcription factor NAC019-A1 is a negative regulator of starch synthesis in wheat developing endosperm.

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020
Starch is a major component of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) endosperm and is an important part of the human diet. The functions of many starch synthesis genes have been elucidated. However, little is known about their regulatory mechanisms in wheat. Here,

The Modular Control of Cereal Endosperm Development.

Trends in Plant Science, 2020
Expansion of the human population demands a significant increase in cereal production. The main component of cereal grains is endosperm, a body of starchy endosperm (SE) cells surrounded by aleurone (AL) cells with transfer cells (TC) at the base and ...

Phytohormone dynamics in developing endosperm influence rice grain shape and quality.

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2020
Hormones are important signaling molecules regulating developmental processes and responses to environmental stimuli in higher plants. Rice endosperm, the portion of the seed surrounding the embryo, is the main determinant of rice grain shape and yield ...

OsbZIP76 interacts with OsNF-YBs and regulates endosperm cellularization in rice (Oryza sativa).

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2020
Following double fertilization, plant endosperm nuclei undergo syncytial divisions, followed by synchronous cellularization. Cellularization is a key event during endosperm development, but our understanding of its regulation is limited to Arabidopsis ...

Endosperm development

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 1999
There is a renewal of interest in endosperm development. Recent studies are leading the way to a better understanding of fundamental processes such as cell cycle control and the mechanisms of imprinting. A more global view of interactions between the endosperm and the embryo is emerging and will initiate an integrated approach to the study of seed ...

Compressive Strength of Wheat Endosperm: Analysis of Endosperm Bricks

Cereal Chemistry, 2008
ABSTRACTThe material properties of wheat grain endosperm are central to its processing and end‐use quality. The preparation of geometrically‐defined endosperm specimens free of bran, germ, and pigment strand can facilitate the objective study of endosperm material properties.
