Abstract excerpt
In seed plants, the ovule is the female reproductive structure, which surrounds and nourishes the gametophyte and embryo. This investigation describes the PRETTY FEW SEEDS2 (PFS2) locus, which regulates ovule patterning. The pfs2 mutant exhibited developmental defects in the maternal integuments and gametophyte. This mutation was inherited as a maternal trait, indicating that gametophyte defects resulted from...
