The development and starch accumulation of cereal endosperms rely on the sugar supply of
leaves, which is subject to diurnal cycles, and the endosperm itself also experiences a …

Diurnal physiological acclimation regulated by a circadian system is an advantage for plant
fitness. The circadian system is composed of a signal input, the clock and output pathways …

The endosperm at the storage phase undergoes a series of coordinated cellular and
metabolic events, including starchy endosperm cell death, starch synthesis, and starch …

Key message Laser microdissection applied on the developing rice endosperm revealed
tissue-and stage-specific regulators modulating programmed cell death and desiccation …

Seed germination is a complex physiological process that allows the seed embryo to grow
and develop into a photosynthetic organism. The two major constituents of rice seed include …

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DGE) in conjunction with mass spectrometry was
utilized to unravel the changes in embryo proteins of geminating rice seeds. For this …

Although embryo development is a major subject in plant growth and development research,
a number of aspects of the mechanism of this development process remain unknown. Rice …

Accumulation of reserve materials in filling grains involves the coordination of different
metabolic and cellular processes, and understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying …

Grain filling is a pivotal grain weight determinant factor and has a great impact on rice yield
potential. High grain weight was attributed to a high grain-filling rate. Proteomic analysis …

Many aspects of plant metabolism that are involved in plant growth and development are
influenced by light-regulated diurnal rhythms as well as endogenous clock-regulated …
