Imprinted regulatory networks reveal the molecular cross-talk between paternal and maternal genomes in the endosperm of Arabidopsis arenosa
Imprinted genes do not act alone to shape seed development, but as a complex network - just like any other gene. Yet, the molecular context in which they are embedded, i.e. their gene network, remains...

🌸 Changes in pollen reveal new insights into the evolution of plant self-fertilization. Researchers from Charles University and @iebcas.bsky.social discovered important evolutionary changes in pollen coat structure and proteins that have been overlooked so far 🌿🔬🧬 shorturl.at/PZVoE

The fruit of a team gathering complementary and unique skills of different people, I love when this happens! And happy about the result :) congrats @omeriltas.bsky.social , @kovacik.bsky.social , L. Salomon, S. Hafidh, M. Certner, P. Talacko & K. Harant! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The abundance of pollen coat small signaling proteins shows limited convergence between independent selfing transitions in Arabidopsis and Capsella
In plants, a key example of convergence is the repeated evolution of floral traits associated with the transition from outcrossing to self-fertilization, often resulting in the ‘selfing syndrome’ (e.....

🌾🔍 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🔍🌾 Understanding the interactions between embryo, endosperm, and seed coat is essential for both advancing our fundamental understanding of seed development and improving agronomic seed traits - Figueiredo & Sharma 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 1.Stages of development for a seed with a nuclear-type transient endosperm. (A) A typical Polygonum-like mature ovule contains two gametes, the central cell and egg cell (E.C.), which are accompanied by two synergids and three antipodal cells. These gametophytic cells are surrounded by two integuments, inner (i.i.) and outer (o.i.). (B) Following double fertilization, two products start developing, the embryo and the endosperm. The latter initially develops as a coenocyte, where karyokinesis is uncoupled from cytokinesis, and a large vacuole occupies the center. The seed coat develops from the integuments and protects the fertilization products. (C) Later in development, the coenocytic endosperm cellularizes, after which it starts being consumed by the embryo. (D) In species with transient endosperms, like Arabidopsis, the embryo consumes almost the whole of the endosperm, leaving a single cell layer called aleurone.
