Abstract:SUMMARYSeeds are initiated from the carpel margin meristem (CMM) and high seed yield is top one of breeding objectives for many crops. β‐1,3‐glucanases play various roles in plant growth and developmental processes; however, whether it participates in CMM development and seed formation remains largely unknown. Here, we identified a β‐1,3‐glucanase gene (GLU19) as a determinant of CMM callose deposition and seed yield in cotton. GLU19 was differentially expressed in carpel tissues between Gossypium barbadense (… Show more
