Seed structure with a large central cell in the center (cell nucleus in yellow) surrounded by the tissue of the mother plant (purple). The mature central cell (left) is in a quiescent state until ...

For the first time, scientists have identified a mutation in plants that was selected twice -- during both natural evolution and domestication. The mutation has been identified as the source of ...
