The IKU2/RLK7–MAPK–MINI3 signaling module controls endosperm cellularization timing to determine seed size in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The phosphorylation status of the WRKY transcription factor WRKY10/MINI3, controls the timing of endosperm cellularization in Arabiopsis, thus regulating final seed size, offering a molecular understanding that could inform future agricultural breeding strategies. ABSTRACT Seed size is a critical factor in determining crop yield.

Smart double‐screening system of propagating male‐sterile lines for maize hybrid seed production

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The Seed and Seedling Marker Method double‐screening system for maize hybrid seed production integrates Ms45‐mediated fertility restoration, Mn1/Sh1‐RNAi‐based seed selection, and Lc‐based seedling selection. It thus enables efficient, high‐purity propagation of male‐sterile lines by combining fertility maintenance with sequential visual selection at ...

Engineering endosperm storage compartments enables simultaneous enrichment of multiple vitamins in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Engineering rice endosperm with modules for vitamin binding, lipid storage, and antioxidant protection enriched water‐ and fat‐soluble vitamins without compromising key agronomic traits and maintained vitamin higher levels after cooking, demonstrating its potential to improve crop nutrition.

Identification and functional analysis of class 3 lipases associated with triacylglycerol metabolism in Nannochloropsis oceanica (Eustigmatophyceae)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microalgae accumulate triacylglycerols (TAGs) as storage lipids in response to nutrient limitation, yet the mechanisms governing TAG turnover remain incompletely understood. In the oleaginous microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica, functional studies of TAG degradation have focused on lipases containing patatin domains, whereas the roles of other ...

The incredible vulnerability that reproduction poses for plant species in a warming world

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Generalized plant responses to heat stress across whole‐plant and reproductive scales. Summary Temperatures are rising globally and threatening the persistence of natural plant populations. Elevated temperatures disrupt gametogenesis, fertilization, and seed filling, often at lower thresholds than those affecting photosynthesis, growth, or survival ...

Effect of nitrogen fertilizer on distribution of starch granules in different regions of wheat endosperm

Crop Journal, 2014
This study provided visual evidence of a nitrogen effect on starch granules (SGs) in wheat endosperm. Winter wheat (Titicum aestivum L.) cultivar Xumai 30 was cultured under no nitrogen (control) and 240 kg ha− 1 of nitrogen applied at the booting stage.

Cross‐ploidy hybridisation in Alpine woodrushes is associated with ecological additivity and scale‐dependent niche divergence

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Genetic differentiation among the study species. Summary Hybridisation and whole‐genome duplication (WGD) are widespread in plants, yet their ecological consequences remain challenging to predict. In allopolyploids, where both processes coincide, ecological divergence is typically evaluated against a null hypothesis of ecological additivity.

Immature Seed Endosperm and Embryo Proteomics of the Lotus (Nelumbo Nucifera Gaertn.) by One-Dimensional Gel-Based Tandem Mass Spectrometry and a Comparison with the Mature Endosperm Proteome

Proteomes, 2015
Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) seed proteome has been the focus of our studies, and we have recently established the first proteome dataset for its mature seed endosperm. The current study unravels the immature endosperm, as well as the embryo proteome,

The preprophase band is dispensable for robust cell division orientation in wood‐forming cambium stem cells

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Characterization of periclinal and anticlinal cell divisions in dividing cambium stem cells (CSCs). (a) Scheme indicating periclinal and anticlinal cell divisions in CSCs in the Arabidopsis hypocotyl. The orange dashed ring in the middle panel represents the cambium area. The orange cuboids represent individual CSCs.
