Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed activation of the paternal genome during seed development
Jean-Philippe Vielle-Calzada,Ramamurthy Baskar,Ramamurthy Baskar,Ueli Grossniklaus,Ueli Grossniklaus +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that none of the paternally inherited alleles of 20 loci that the authors tested is expressed during early seed development in Arabidopsis, contrary to previous interpretations, early embryo and endosperm development are mainly under maternal control.
Journal ArticleDOI
LACHESIS Restricts Gametic Cell Fate in the Female Gametophyte of Arabidopsis
Rita Groß-Hardt,Rita Groß-Hardt,Christina Kägi,Christina Kägi,Nadine Baumann,James M. Moore,James M. Moore,Ramamurthy Baskar,Ramamurthy Baskar,Wendy B. Gagliano,Gerd Jürgens,Ueli Grossniklaus,Ueli Grossniklaus +12 more
TL;DR: In a screen for regulators of egg cell fate, the lachesis (lis) mutant is isolated which forms supernumerary egg cells, indicating that LIS is involved in a mechanism that prevents accessory cells from adopting gametic cell fate.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Bsister MADS‐box gene involved in ovule and seed development in petunia and Arabidopsis
Stefan de Folter,Anna V. Shchennikova,John Franken,Marco Busscher,Ramamurthy Baskar,Ueli Grossniklaus,Gerco C. Angenent,Richard G. H. Immink +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that both FBP24 and ABS are necessary to determine the identity of the endothelial layer within the ovule in Arabidopsis and the results presented here demonstrate the importance of the comparative analysis of key regulatory genes in various model systems to fully understand all aspects of plant development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dosage-sensitive function of retinoblastoma related and convergent epigenetic control are required during the Arabidopsis life cycle.
Amal J. Johnston,Olga Kirioukhova,Philippa J. Barrell,Twan Rutten,James M. Moore,Ramamurthy Baskar,Ueli Grossniklaus,Wilhelm Gruissem +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dosage-sensitive RBR function and its genetic interaction with PRC2 genes and MET1 must have been recruited during plant evolution to control distinct generation-specific cell fate, differentiation, and development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabidopsis GLAUCE promotes fertilization-independent endosperm development and expression of paternally inherited alleles.
Quy A. Ngo,James M. Moore,James M. Moore,Ramamurthy Baskar,Ramamurthy Baskar,Ueli Grossniklaus,Ueli Grossniklaus,Venkatesan Sundaresan +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that factors derived from the female gametophyte activate a subset of the paternal genome of fertilized seeds, including the ribosome protein gene RPS5a and the AMP deaminase gene FAC1, both of which are essential for early embryo and endosperm development.
