Following fertilization, early plant embryos arise through a rapid initial diversification of their component cell types. As a result, this series of coordinated cell divisions rapidly sculpts the ...

The endosperm, the tissue surrounding the plant embryo in the seed, has long been perceived as a nourishing tissue that is abandoned once the transition to the seedling is complete. A team has now ...

Researchers at UC Davis and UC Berkeley's Innovative Genomics Institute have found a way to produce clonal seeds from hybrid rice varieties. The technique could make hybrids, which can have superior ...

Scientists identified a gene responsible for triggering plants to develop fruits and seeds. This finding may help agriculturists bypass pollination altogether for food production, which will be ...
