Imprinting and Seed Development [PDF]

open access: yesTHE PLANT CELL ONLINE, 2004
Imprinted genes are expressed predominantly from one allele in a parent-of-origin–specific manner. The endosperm, a seed tissue that mediates the transfer of nutrients from the maternal parent to the embryo, is an important site of imprinting in flowering plants.

A social-ecological systems perspective on dried fish value chains

open access: yesCurrent Research in Environmental Sustainability, 2022
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) support over 90% of the 120 million people engaged in fisheries globally. Dried fish is an important sub-sector of SSF, which is characterized by declining social, economic, political conditions of people involved in its ...

Estimating the phenological dynamics of irrigated rice leaf area index using the combination of PROSAIL and Gaussian Process Regression

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
The growth of rice is a sequence of three different phenological phases. This sequence of change in rice phenology implies that the condition of the plant during the vegetative phase relates directly to the health of leaves functioning during the ...

Seed-to-Seed-to-Seed Growth and Development of Arabidopsis in Microgravity [PDF]

open access: yesAstrobiology, 2014
Arabidopsis thaliana was grown from seed to seed wholly in microgravity on the International Space Station. Arabidopsis plants were germinated, grown, and maintained inside a growth chamber prior to returning to Earth. Some of these seeds were used in a subsequent experiment to successfully produce a second (back-to-back) generation of microgravity ...

Into the Seed: Auxin Controls Seed Development and Grain Yield [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Seed development, which involves mainly the embryo, endosperm and integuments, is regulated by different signaling pathways, leading to various changes in seed size or seed weight. Therefore, uncovering the genetic and molecular mechanisms of seed development has great potential for improving crop yields.
