Endosperm development in Zea mays; implication of gametic imprinting and paternal excess in regulation of transfer layer development

1995-09-01

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Fertilisation in maize (Zea mays), in common with most angiosperms, involves two fusion events: one of the two sperm nuclei unites with the egg cell nucleus, while the other sperm nucleus fuses with the two central cell nuclei giving rise to the triploid endosperm. Since deviation from this nuclear ratio (2:1 maternal/paternal) in the endosperm can result in abortion, it has been suggested that the genome...
