Maternal effects of the short integument mutation on embryo development in Arabidopsis.
Developmental biology - 25 Nov 1996
Ray S, Golden T, Ray A
Abstract excerpt
Maternal gene products deposited in an animal egg determine the polarity of embryonic axes and regulate embryonic cell-cell communication important for morphogenesis. Here we report the first maternal-effect embryo-defective mutation discovered in a plant. Recessive mutations in the SHORT INTEGUMENT (SIN1) gene in Arabidopsis were previously shown to influence ovule development and flowering time. Here we show...
