The paper identifies maternally expressed auxin response factors that promote endosperm cellularization and regulate seed size, revealing antagonistic parental control over this process.

Loss of Polymerase IV function in Capsella rubella causes microspore arrest, revealing an important functional role of Polymerase IV during pollen development.

This study identifies PHERES1 as a master regulator of imprinted genes in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm, showing its binding to domesticated transposons that facilitate transcriptional network formation.

This study identifies paternal easiRNAs as regulators of the triploid block in Arabidopsis, showing they control DNA methylation and seed viability through imprinted gene expression.
