Sucrose cleavage is vital to multicellular plants, not only for the allocation of crucial carbon
resources but also for the initiation of hexose-based sugar signals in importing structures …

Plants are very plastic in adapting growth and development to changing adverse
environmental conditions. This feature will be essential for plants to survive climate changes …

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) constitute a highly efficient form of energy storage. In seeds of
angiosperms, they can act as a reserve of carbon and energy allowing to fuel post …

Oxygen can fall to low concentrations within plant tissues, either because of environmental
factors that decrease the external oxygen concentration or because the movement of oxygen …

Legume seed development is characterized by progressive differentiation of organs and
tissues resulting in developmental gradients A developmental gradient results from the …

Significance: We provide a conceptual framework for the interactions between the cellular
redox signaling hub and the phytohormone signaling network that controls plant growth and …

LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1), an atypical subunit of the nuclear transcription factor Y (NF-
Y) CCAAT-binding transcription factor, is a central regulator that controls many aspects of …

We have isolated a floury endosperm‐4 (flo4) rice mutant with a floury‐white endosperm but
a normal outer portion. Scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed that this abnormal …

The properties and expression patterns of the six isoforms of sucrose synthase in
Arabidopsis are described, and their functions are explored through analysis of T‐DNA …

Seed maturation is an important phase of seed development during which embryo growth
ceases, storage products accumulate, the protective tegument differentiates and tolerance to …
