Journal ArticleDOI
DNA methylation is critical for Arabidopsis embryogenesis and seed viability.
Wenyan Xiao,Kendra D. Custard,Roy C. Brown,Betty E. Lemmon,John J. Harada,Robert B. Goldberg,Robert L. Fischer +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Arabidopsis thaliana embryos with loss-of-function mutations in MET1 and CMT3 develop improperly, display altered planes and numbers of cell division, and have reduced viability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of endosperm in Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: This pattern of development via alveolation appears to be highly conserved; it is characteristic of nuclear endosperm development in angiosperms and is similar to ancient patterns of gametophyte development in gymnosperms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endosperm Development in Barley: Microtubule Involvement in the Morphogenetic Pathway.
TL;DR: An immunofluorescence study of sectioned barley endosperm imaged by confocal laser scanning microscopy provided three-dimensional data on the relationship of microtubules to the cytoplasm, nuclei, and cell walls during development from 4 to 21 days after pollination (DAP).
Journal ArticleDOI
The cytoplast concept in dividing plant cells: cytoplasmic domains and the evolution of spatially organized cell division
TL;DR: The unique cytokinetic apparatus of higher plant cells comprises two cytoskeletal systems: a predictive preprophase band of microtubules (MTs), which defines the future division site, and the phragmoplast, which mediates crosswall formation after mitosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of Seed Size by Hypomethylation of Maternal and Paternal Genomes
Wenyan Xiao,Roy C. Brown,Betty E. Lemmon,John J. Harada,Robert B. Goldberg,Robert L. Fischer +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of crosses between wild-type and heterozygous MET1/met1-6 parents revealed that hypomethylation in the female or male gametophytic generation was sufficient to influence F1 seed size, showing that maternal and paternal genomes play distinct roles in the regulation of seed size in Arabidopsis.
