During the diversification of angiosperms, seeds have evolved structural, chemical, molecular and physiologically developing changes that specially affect the nucellus and endosperm. All through seed evolution, programmed cell death (PCD) has played a fundamental role. However, examples of PCD during seed development are limited. The present review examines PCD in integuments, nucellus, suspensor and endosperm in those representative examples of seeds studied to date.
在被子植物的多样化过程中,种子经历了结构、化学、分子和生理发育变化,这些变化专门影响珠心和胚乳。在整个种子进化过程中,程序性细胞死亡(PCD)发挥了重要作用。然而,种子发育过程中 PCD 的例子是有限的。本综述检查了迄今为止研究过的代表性种子中种皮、珠心、胚柄和胚乳中的 PCD。
