Article Abstract
During rice seed storage, lipid hydrolysis and oxidation in the embryo generate off-flavors. This Commentary examines a study by Wang et al., who demonstrated that manipulating OsBZR4 in various rice cultivars induces a high proportion of embryoless seeds by altering auxin levels and spatial distribution during early embryogenesis-a process intensified under elevated temperatures.

Embryoless rice is valuable for studying early seed development and has great breeding potential, however, related research remains limited. Here, we show that mutations in OsBZR4, encoding brassinazole-resistance 4, lead to 60-100% embryoless seeds across different cultivars. OsBZR4 is specifically expressed at the scutellum-endosperm interface and regulates auxin levels and distribution during early embryo development.

Background: Embryo development holds a pivotal position in the ontogenesis and morphogenesis of rice plants, exerting a direct influence on plant growth and ultimately determining rice yield. Glutaredoxin, an abundant oxidoreductase, plays a crucial role across many facets of plant growth. Our research has uncovered that OsGrxC2.

Two papers with quite different objectives established protocols that proved pivotal for future work on the role of gibberellins in seed germination. In their paper published in 1967, Russell Jones and Joseph Varner (Planta 72: 155-161) developed a bioassay based on induction of α-amylase activity in barley embryo-less half-seeds that was specific for bioactive gibberellins. The induction of α-amylase in the aleurone of barley and other cereals was to become the experimental system of choice to study gibberellin signalling.

Article Synopsis
- The cytoplasm of wheat plays a crucial role in inducing male sterility and haploidy, influencing various aspects of plant fertility and development.
- While the main fertility restorer locus on chromosome arm 1BS shows little variation, other genes may also impact the interactions between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, affecting traits from pollen competition to seed size.
- The study reveals complex cytoplasmic-nuclear interactions that can lead to various fertilization outcomes, and further genetic analysis is needed to better understand the suppressors and enhancers involved in maternal haploid production in wheat.
