This project investigates the genetic regulation of programmed cell death in the starchy endosperm of maize, which is crucial for nutrient storage. By analyzing gene expression and cellular features, the research aims to identify key transcription factors that control this process, potentially leading to improved grain…
Around 60% of our daily diet is directly derived from cereal grains.
In the grain, most nutrients are stored in a highly specialized reserve tissue called the starchy endosperm (SE). SE development ends by the execution of a controlled cell death program (PCD), which leaves the nutrient-filled cell corpses largely intact. PCD has been proposed to be crucial for storage compound preservation, but despite this potential importance, surprisingly little is known on the genetic regulation of SE PCD.…
