The endosperm, the tissue surrounding the plant embryo in the seed, has long been perceived as a nourishing tissue that is abandoned once the transition to the seedling is complete. A team has now ...

Plants lack a germline, express many genes in the haploid phase of the life cycle and have a flexible developmental plan. These features allow stringent selection in the haploid phase against ...

In angiosperms, seed architecture is shaped by the coordinated development of three genetically different components: embryo, endosperm, and maternal tissues. The relative contribution of these ...

The endosperm is a vital tissue in seeds that provides essential nutrients to the growing plant embryo in the seed. During the early stages of seed development, the endosperm frequently grows without ...

The scientific perspective behind cell pattern formation involves observing both the commonly seen principles behind similar cell patterns seen in nature and the visible events of self-organization.

The endosperm, the tissue surrounding the plant embryo in the seed, has long been perceived as a nourishing tissue that is abandoned once the transition to the seedling is complete. A Swiss team, led ...
