Maize endosperm development is sensitive to chromosome dosage. Triploid and hexaploid endosperm, resulting from specific crosses involving the indeterminate gametophyte (ig) mutation, supported normal kernel development, highlighting the importance of parental genome balance.

Area of Science:

  • Plant genetics
  • Developmental biology
  • Maize genetics

Background:

  • The indeterminate gametophyte (ig) mutation affects maize kernel development.
  • Endosperm ploidy level is crucial for successful seed development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of varying endosperm ploidy levels on maize kernel development.
  • To determine the influence of parental genome contributions on endosperm viability.

Main Methods:

  • Crosses were performed using the indeterminate gametophyte (ig) mutant in maize.
  • Endosperm ploidy levels were analyzed in resulting kernels.
  • Kernel and embryo development were assessed under different ploidy conditions.

Main Results:

  • Triploid endosperm (3x) developed normally when crossed with diploid males.
  • Tetraploid endosperm (4x) showed reduced size but viable embryos.
  • Other ploidy levels, including hexaploid (6x), exhibited variable success, with some supporting normal development.
  • Endosperm with two maternal and two paternal genomes was defective, leading to abortion.

Conclusions:

  • Maize endosperm development is critically dependent on its ploidy level and the balance of parental genomes.
  • Internal endosperm conditions, rather than maternal tissues, primarily govern its success or failure.
  • The parental origin of chromosome sets significantly affects maize endosperm development.
