Auxin content, cell size and endoreduplication level in the mutant defective endosperm-18.

Abstract

In this work, we investigated the relationship between auxin level, cell division and endoreduplication in developing endosperms of the mutant de18. The most significant difference between de18 and De18 were detected at 8 days after pollination, where the mutant showed a deficiency in the polidy level, number and volume of the endosperm cells
