Abstract excerpt
The importance of maternal cells in controlling early embryogenesis is well understood in animal development, yet in plants the precise role of maternal cells in embryogenesis is unclear. We demonstrated previously that maternal activity of the SIN1 (SHORT INTEGUMENTS1) gene of Arabidopsis is essential for embryo pattern formation and viability, and that its postembryonic activity is required for several...
