Abstract
The ovule nucellus generates and then nurtures the female germline until maturity, preparing it for fertilization and seed development. We reveal that a B-sister MADS-box transcription factor, MADS31, is expressed in the inner subdomain of the nucellus and sustains germline development by preventing expression of post-fertilization genes.
