| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In many plants, the asymmetric division of the zygote sets up the apical-basal axis of the embryo. We have established the live-imaging method to visualize how the zygote polarizes after fertilization, and provided insights into the intracellular dynamics of zygote polarization in flowering plants (Kimata et al, 2016). In addition, we have revealed a framework of how maternal and paternal factors are integrated in the zygote to regulate embryo patterning (Ueda et al, 2017).
