Abstract. Angiosperms represent the most abundant and diverse lineage of land plants, and their evolutionary success is closely linked to major reproductiv

This study shows that many small RNAs in Capsella rubella pollen originate from maternal tissues. These mobile small RNAs support proper pollen development, revealing that non-cell-autonomous small RN...

Automated seed phenotyping has wide applications in research and agriculture and relies on easy-to-use platforms and pipelines. Seed phenotyping in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana poses a signi...

Genomic imprinting, the preferential expression of alleles based on their parent-of-origin, is an epigenetic mechanism that plays a key role in endosp…

As in mammals, the plant embryo is surrounded by maternal tissues that provide protection from the external environment. In angiosperms, a double fertilization process results in the formation of a di...
