Abstract:
Seed size is important for crop yield. Recently, Liu et al. discovered a fertilization-dependent 'gate' in ovules that opens only upon central cell fertilization and remains closed when fertilization fails. This gate is tasked with regulating seed size, offering valuable insights and promising applications for seed-focused plant breeding strategies.
