Small RNAs Affect Development of Seeds (IMAGE)
Caption
Small RNAs affect development of seeds. These are arabidopsis seeds three, four, five, six and seven days after pollination (left to right). First row: diploid seeds. Second row: seeds from a cross between a diploid mother and tetraploid father. Third row: seeds from a cross between a tetraploid mother and diploid father. Fourth row: tetraploid seeds. Note that seeds in the third row (five to six days after pollination) are much smaller than those in the second row as a result of increased maternally inherited small RNAs.
