Abstract excerpt
Simple de novo screens in Arabidopsis thaliana have previously identified mutants that affect endosperm development but viable-embryo mutants have not been identified. Our strategy to identify autonomous embryo development was to uncouple embryo and endosperm fertilisation. This involved a male-sterile mutant population being crossed with a distinct pollen parent--the pollen was needed to initiate endosperm...
