Endosperm supports the development of embryos and thus, is crucial for the life cycle and
reproductive success of flowering plants. In addition, the endosperm of especially grass …

Seed development in Arabidopsis is characterized by stereotypical division patterns,
suggesting that coordinated control of cell cycle may be required for correct patterning and …

Cell cycle activity is required for plant growth and development, but its involvement in the
early events that initiate seedling development remains to be clarified. We performed …

form the zygote, and the other fuses with the two polar nuclei of the diploid central cell to
produce a triploid endosperm nucleus. Division of the endosperm nucleus gives rise to …

Seed development is a complex process that requires coordinated integration of many
genetic, metabolic, and physiological pathways and environmental cues. Different cell cycle …

In mitosis, a precise duplication and equal distribution of the genomic DNA between
daughter cells is essential for genome stability and growth. For such a precise division …

Cyclin-dependent kinases, the master regulators of the eukaryotic cell cycle, are complexes
comprised of a catalytic serine/threonine protein kinase and an essential regulatory cyclin …

During the early stages of seed development, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana)
endosperm is syncytial and proliferates rapidly through repeated rounds of mitosis without …

Abstract Development of the seed endosperm involves several different types of coordinated
cell cycle programs: acytokinetic mitosis, which produces a syncytium soon after fertilization; …

During the early stages of Arabidopsis seed development, the endosperm is syncytial and
proliferates rapidly through multiple rounds of mitosis in the absence of cytokinesis and cell …
