Purpose Sustainable manufacturing practices are one of the significant environmental initiatives taken by manufacturing industries to preserve the environment and improve the quality of human life while performing manufacturing activities. The emergence of the value creation concept, economic value no longer counts as a single factor for measuring manufacturing performance. Within the sustainability context, the impact of manufacturing activities on the environmental and social aspects should be taken into account as the basis for assessing manufacturing performance, which is called sustainability performance. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship of sustainable manufacturing practices with sustainability performance, which considers the environmental, economic and social aspects. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire survey is carried out among 443 ISO 14001 certified manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Structural equation modelling is used to evaluate the relationship of sustainable manufacturing practices with sustainability performance. Findings The findings of this study indicate that manufacturing process is the manufacturing stage that gives the most impact on the improvement of sustainability performance. Hence, it is concluded that manufacturing companies in Malaysia are highly focussed on the production bound when implementing sustainable manufacturing practices. Research limitations/implications Although this study indicates a good estimation of the proposed model, additional variables might be added to improve the prediction strength of the proposed model such as considering type of industries, economic scale or ownership. Adding the comparison of sustainable manufacturing practices between different countries also a valuable research to investigated. Practical implications The framework proposed here can also assist manufacturing industries to conduct sustainability assessments by providing elements of sustainability performance and can serve as a guideline to select appropriate sustainable manufacturing practices and to what level the practices need to be improved to leverage companies’ sustainability performance. Originality/value The framework proposed here can also assist manufacturing industries to conduct sustainability assessments by providing elements of sustainability performance and can serve as a guideline to select appropriate sustainable manufacturing practices and to what level the practices need to be improved to leverage companies’ sustainability performance.

“…Fruit development generally begins after fertilization when the carpel wall (pericarp) transitions from an ovule containing, often photosynthetic vessel, to a seed containing dispersal unit. The fruit wall will differentiate into endocarp (1-few layers closest to developing seeds, often inner to the vascular bundle), mesocarp (multiple middle layers, including the vascular bundles and outer tissues), and exocarp (for the most part restricted to the outermost layer, and only occasionally including hypodermal tissues) (Richard, 1819 ; Sachs, 1874 ; Bordzilowski, 1888 ; Farmer, 1889 ; Roth, 1977 ; Pabón-Mora and Litt, 2011 ). Fruits are classified by their number of carpels, whether multiple carpels are free or fused, texture (dry or fleshy), how the pericarp layers differentiate and whether and how the fruits open to disperse the seeds contained inside (Roth, 1977 ).…”

“…Berries and drupes tend to be indehiscent and the pericarp of berries is often fleshy and composed mainly of parenchyma tissue (Richard, 1819 ; Roth, 1977 ). The endocarp and mesocarp of drupes is also fleshy, however, the endocarp is composed of highly sclerified tissue termed the stone (Richard, 1819 ; Sachs, 1874 ). Caryopses are also indehiscent and have a thin wall of pericarp fused to a single seed (Roth, 1977 ).…”

The genetic mechanisms regulating dry fruit development and opercular dehiscence have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. In the bicarpellate silique, valve elongation and differentiation is controlled by FRUITFULL (FUL) that antagonizes SHATTERPROOF1-2 (SHP1/SHP2) and INDEHISCENT (IND) at the dehiscence zone where they control normal lignification. SHP1/2 are also repressed by REPLUMLESS (RPL), responsible for replum formation. Similarly, FUL indirectly controls two other factors ALCATRAZ (ALC) and SPATULA (SPT) that function in the proper formation of the separation layer. FUL and SHP1/2 belong to the MADS-box family, IND and ALC belong to the bHLH family and RPL belongs to the homeodomain family, all of which are large transcription factor families. These families have undergone numerous duplications and losses in plants, likely accompanied by functional changes. Functional analyses of homologous genes suggest that this network is fairly conserved in Brassicaceae and less conserved in other core eudicots. Only the MADS box genes have been functionally characterized in basal eudicots and suggest partial conservation of the functions recorded for Brassicaceae. Here we do a comprehensive search of SHP, IND, ALC, SPT, and RPL homologs across core-eudicots, basal eudicots, monocots and basal angiosperms. Based on gene-tree analyses we hypothesize what parts of the network for fruit development in Brassicaceae, in particular regarding direct and indirect targets of FUL, might be conserved across angiosperms.

“…Schizogenous ICS formation is common in the roots and stems of wetland plants, such as species of Rumex and Sagittaria . In most vascular plants, ICSs in the leaf mesophyll are schizogenous, formed by the partial separation of cells following the breakdown of cell wall components ( Sachs et al, 1882 ; Dale, 1988 ). Schizogenous ICSs may be formed by differential growth, resulting in separation of adjacent cells from one another at the middle lamella of the cell walls.…”

Gas exchange is essential for multicellular organisms. In contrast to the circulatory systems of animals, land plants have tissues with intercellular spaces (ICSs), called aerenchyma, that are critical for efficient gas exchange. Plants form ICSs by two different mechanisms: schizogeny, where localized cell separation creates spaces; and lysogeny, where cells die to create ICSs. In schizogenous ICS formation, specific molecular mechanisms regulate the sites of cell separation and coordinate extensive reorganization of cell walls. Emerging evidence suggests the involvement of extracellular signaling, mediated by peptide ligands and leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases, in the regulation of cell wall remodeling during cell separation. Recent work on the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has demonstrated a critical role for a plasma membrane-associated plant U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase in ICS formation. In this review, I discuss the mechanism of schizogenous ICS formation, focusing on the potential role of extracellular signaling in the regulation of cell separation.
