Multiplexed transcriptomic analyzes of the plant embryonic hourglass by Hao Wu, Ruqiang Zhang, Karl J. Niklas, Michael J. Scanlon

“…A set of shared, co-expressed genes is identified during initiation of maize embryonic organs, replete for ancient/conserved genes manifesting an hourglass pattern during mid-embryogenesis. Transcriptomic comparisons of maize and Arabidopsis embryogenesis with that of the moss Physcomitrium patens identify an inverse hourglass pattern across plant phyla, as in animals. …”
