Mother-Child Communication in Plants
When embryos develop inside their mother, their well-being depends on the nurture provided by the maternal tissue. Mutations in the maternal tissue may result in defective embryo development. In seed-bearing plants such as grains, the embryos develop in unison with the surrounding tissue of the mother plant. Laux and colleagues therefore posited that there must be a form of communication between the mother plant and the embryo that guides the early stages of development after fertilization.
The hormone auxin accumulates in the area of the seed where the embryo is connected to the maternal tissue.

This finding could also contribute to the optimization of biotechnological plant propagation. “Plants could be bred faster and more efficiently so that they can adapt to unfavourable environmental conditions and climate change, for example”, Laux explains.
