Article Synopsis
- Integuments are crucial protective layers around developing ovules in gymnosperms and angiosperms, with genetic influence on their development still not fully understood.
- This study highlights KNOX II transcription factors KNAT3 and KNAT4 as regulators of integument development in Arabidopsis, with both genes co-expressed in young ovules.
- The double mutant of knat3 and knat4 displays infertility due to arrested integument development, and these factors interact with each other and the INO transcription factor, affecting auxin signaling related to integument formation.
