“…However, developmental processes such as pattern formation and transcriptional regulation of ZE are conserved to a remarkable extent between monocots and dicots (Nardmann et al, 2007;Zhao et al, 2017). For readers interested in ZE in monocot species, we recommend the following comprehensive reviews of Vernoud et al, and Kruglova et al(Vernoud et al, 2005;Kruglova et al, 2022). Despite originating differently, SE shares high similarities with ZE at morphological, physiological and molecular levels, and both processes share developmental stages like globular, heart, torpedo, and cotyledonary stages (Ikeda et al, 2006;Winkelmann, 2016).…”
