摘要

Increasing seed size is an efficient way to improve crop yield.In flowering plants,following double fertilization the rapid growth of the integument and endosperm generates a large cavity in the seed.After the syncytial phase,the syncytium divides into individual cells resulting in the cellula-rization of the endosperm.The volume available for the sub-sequent embryo development and thus seed size,is directly linked to the timing of endosperm cellularization.If cellulari-zation occurs precociously,the seed will be smaller and vice versa.
