Surface position, not signaling from surrounding maternal tissues, specifies aleurone epidermal cell fate in maizeMaize (Zea mays) endosperm consists of an epidermal-like surface layer of aleurone cells, an underlying body of starchy endosperm cells, and a basal layer of transfer cells....
Subcellular localization and functional domain studies of defective kernel1 in maize and arabidopsis suggest a model for aleurone cell fate specification involving crinkly4 and supernumerary aleurone layer1[w]DEFECTIVE KERNEL1 (DEK1), which consists of a membrane-spanning region (DEK1-MEM) and a calpain-like Cys proteinase region (DEK1-CALP), is essential for aleurone cell formation at the surface of maize (Zea mays) endosperm....
