During maturation seeds acquire several physiological traits to enable them to survive drying and disseminate the species. The maternal environment during maturation can influence seed quality. RNA-se
The endosperm is a reproductive tissue supporting embryo development. In most flowering plants, the initial divisions of endosperm nuclei are not succeeded by cellularization; this process occurs only
α-catenin is a key protein of adherens junctions (AJs) with mechanosensory properties. It also acts as a tumor suppressor that limits tissue growth. Here we analyzed the function of Drosophila α-Caten
