Mutations in FIE, a WD polycomb group gene, allow endosperm development without fertilization.

The Plant cell - 1 Mar 1999

Ohad N, Yadegari R, Margossian L, Hannon M, Michaeli D, Harada J J, Goldberg R B, Fischer R L

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental problem in biology is to understand how fertilization initiates reproductive development. Higher plant reproduction is unique because two fertilization events are required for sexual reproduction. First, a sperm must fuse with the egg to form an embryo. A second sperm must then fuse...
