1) The female germ cell is differentiated from a group of somatic cells called nucellus in the ovule. What are the cues to determine the fate of the selected one and how the germline communicate with adjacent cells?
2) Cereal crops like rice, barley, and wheat have a significantly large volume of nucellus cells in the ovule than Arabidopsis. How does the nucellus perform its maternal control to grain development and what genetic regulators are involved?
