The starchy endosperm and aleurone share a similar lineage in the entirety of their development, which indicates that certain positional cues could be observed to specify the fate of the aleurone.

The increase in shb1-D seed size is associated with endosperm cellurization, chalazal endosperm enlargement, and embryo development. SHB1 is required for the proper expression of two other genes that ...
