Abstract excerpt
In the ovules of most sexually reproducing plants, one hypodermal cell differentiates into a megaspore mother cell (MMC), which gives rise to the female germline. Trans-acting small interfering RNAs known as tasiR-ARFs have been suggested to act non-cell-autonomously to prevent the formation of multiple MMCs by repressing AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR3 (ARF3) expression in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), but the...
