Show abstract
The formation of the female gamete is a complex developmental process that begins with the differentiation of the Megaspore Mother Cell (MMC) within the ovule. SPOROCYTELESS/NOZZLE (SPL/NZZ) is the principal regulator of the MMC formation, as mutations in the SPL/NZZ gene lead to the failure of the MMC differentiation. Nonetheless, the SPL/NZZ-dependent regulatory pathway governing the MMC development remains largely unknown. Using a multi-omics approach, we identify direct SPL/NZZ targets and their downstream network. We discovered that SPL/NZZ interacts with ovule-identity MADS-domain transcription factor complexes, to regulate the expression of common target genes. By integrating the omics data with the analysis of either complementation or mutant lines, we describe a comprehensive regulatory mechanism, in which SPL/NZZ determines the differentiation of the MMC by acting on an auxin-dependent downstream network.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
