Abstract excerpt
Although previous studies have demonstrated that endosperm development is influenced by its parental genome constitution, the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms that control parent-of-origin effects require further elucidation. Here we show that the Ras-related nuclear protein 1 (RAN1) regulates endosperm development in Arabidopsis thaliana. Reciprocal crosses between wild-type (WT) and transgenic lines...
