Members of the MADS-box transcription factor family play essential roles in almost every
developmental process in plants. Many MADS-box genes have conserved functions across …

Many monocot plants have high social and economic value. These include grasses such as
rice (Oryza sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and barley (Hordeum vulgare), which produce …

We developed a genome-wide transcriptomic atlas of grapevine (Vitis vinifera) based on 54
samples representing green and woody tissues and organs at different developmental …

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a perennial fruit crop grown since ancient times that
has been planted worldwide and is known for its functional metabolites, particularly …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays important roles during tomato fruit ripening. To study the
regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis by ABA, the SlNCED1 gene encoding 9-cis …

The MADS box transcription factors are critical regulators of rice (Oryza sativa) reproductive
development. Here, we here report the functional characterization of a rice MADS box family …

AGL6 is an ancient subfamily of MADS-box genes found in both gymnosperms and
angiosperms. Its functions remained elusive despite the fact that the MADS-box genes and …

In angiosperms, a double-fertilization event leads to the formation of a diploid embryo and a
triploid endosperm. In Arabidopsis and many dicots, seed development undergoes an initial …

Key message Overview of seed size control. Human and livestock nutrition is largely based
on calories derived from seeds, in particular cereals and legumes. Unveiling the control of …

In angiosperms, seed architecture is shaped by the coordinated development of three
genetically different components: embryo, endosperm, and maternal tissues. The relative …
