Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis FERTILIZATION-INDEPENDENT ENDOSPERM (FIE) polycomb group (PcG) protein, a WD40 homologue of Drosophila extra sex comb (ESC), regulates endosperm and embryo development and represses flowering during embryo and seedling development. As fie alleles are not transmitted maternally, homozygous mutant plants cannot be obtained. To study FIE function during the entire plant life cycle, we used...
