The paper identifies MIKC MADS-box transcription factors ABS/TT16 and STK as regulators of maternal nutrient flow during ovule maturation and seed development in Arabidopsis.

This study evaluates HvDEP1 alleles in barley, showing HvDEP1.V increases grain size and plant height but also increases lodging risk compared to HvDEP1.GP and HvDEP1.WT.

This study shows AGP-Ca2+ binding is essential for pollen development and tube growth in Arabidopsis, as mutants lacking this function exhibit reduced seed set and pollen abortion.

This study edits the barley HvAOC gene, showing it regulates maternal tissue growth and grain size via jasmonate biosynthesis.

This study identifies HvSL1 and HvMADS16 as genes involved in stamen identity and ovary formation in barley, revealing conserved and species-specific mechanisms in floral development.
