Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource Three-dimensional imaging of early rice embryos was developed.
- Observation Egg cells and synergids were anchored at the micropylar ovule end by a cell wall-like structure.
- Observation Fertilized zygotes divided asymmetrically with a ventrally tilted plane.
- Observation Apical and basal lineage divisions were not strictly synchronized.
- Observation Cell divisions showed non-stereotypic patterns through the globular stage.
- Observation Auxin reporter activity first appeared at the center of globular embryos.
- Observation Auxin reporter activity later extended along the apical-basal axis.
