Angiosperm seeds are the major source of human calories, generating a pressing need to
understand the underlying processes governing seed growth and development. They are …

Maternal effects on seed traits such as germination are important components of the life
histories of plants because they represent the pathway from adult to offspring: the pathway …

The seed represents the unit of reproduction of flowering plants, capable of developing into
another plant, and to ensure the survival of the species under unfavorable environmental …

Plants, as sessile life forms, have evolved diverse mechanisms to circumvent unfavourable
growth conditions, among them interruption of the life cycle is one of the most successful …

Developing the next plant generation within the seed requires the coordination of complex
programs driving pattern formation, growth, and differentiation of the three main seed …

Many exciting discoveries in recent decades have contributed new knowledge to our
understanding of the mechanisms that regulate various stages of plant growth and …
