Abstract
⺠Endosperm is the main regulator of nucellus PCD in Sechium edule seed. ⺠Ethylene produced by the endosperm is necessary for nucellar PCD to occur. ⺠Nitric oxide produced by endosperm induces synthesis of ethylene. ⺠Besides ethylene and nitric oxide, endosperm produces high amounts of the auxin IAA. ⺠IAA is translocated towards the nucellus but its role in PCD is still unclear.
