Seed size is a pivotal agronomic trait that links plant sexual reproduction and subsequent seedling establishment, and is determined by the timing of endosperm cellularization following endosperm proliferation after double fertilization. In this talk, Prof Yu will discuss that TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1), a phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein (PEBP) family member previously known as a shoot identity gene in Arabidopsis, is a novel mobile regulator that determines endosperm cellularization and seed size.
