Ubiquitin-mediated control of seed size in plants
Seed size in higher plants is an important agronomic trait, and is also crucial for evolutionary fitness. In flowering plants, the seed comprises three major anatomical components, the embryo, the endosperm and the seed coat, each with different genetic compositions. Therefore, seed size is coordinately determined by the growth of the embryo, endosperm and maternal tissue. Recent studies have r...
متن کاملControl of seed size in plants.
R eproductive success in seed plants depends on a healthy seed set. The viability of the embryo is enhanced if a seed contains substantial reserves of starch and protein to nourish the seedling when it germinates months or years later in uncertain conditions. Increased reserves will generally result in an increased seed size, but large seeds are less efficiently dispersed, unless there is human...
متن کاملMaternal control of seed size in plants.
Seed size is a key determinant of evolutionary fitness, and is also one of the most important components of seed yield. In angiosperms, seed development begins with double fertilization, which leads to the formation of a diploid embryo and a triploid endosperm. The outermost layer of the seed is the seed coat, which differentiates from maternal integuments. Therefore, the size of a seed is dete...
متن کاملUpdate on Ubiquitin-Mediated Control of Plant Hormone Signaling Ubiquitin-Mediated Control of Plant Hormone Signaling
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a role in nearly every aspect of plant biology. The wealth of emerging data demonstrates that regulated protein degradation rivals the well-studied area of transcriptional regulation for importance in cellular regulation. In this Update, we will highlight current research findings that illustrate the contributions of the UPS to phytohormone signaling....
متن کاملControl of Organ Size in Plants
The size of plant organs, such as leaves and flowers, is determined by an interaction of genotype and environmental influences. Organ growth occurs through the two successive processes of cell proliferation followed by cell expansion. A number of genes influencing either or both of these processes and thus contributing to the control of final organ size have been identified in the last decade. ...
