The development of the embryo and ruminate endosperm in an early-divergent angiosperm, Asimina triloba (Annonaceae)
Embryo and seed development are essential for the reproductive success of flowering plants. However, these processes remain underexplored in the Annonaceae family that belongs to the early-divergent angiosperm clade Magnoliid, and are characterized by the distinctive feature of ruminations in the se...

| Sumario: | Embryo and seed development are essential for the reproductive success of flowering plants. However, these processes remain underexplored in the Annonaceae family that belongs to the early-divergent angiosperm clade Magnoliid, and are characterized by the distinctive feature of ruminations in the seeds. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a study to characterize the embryogeny and seed development of Asimina triloba ("pawpaw"), the northernmost species of the mainly tropical family Annonaceae. |
