The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is an essential developmental turning point in both plants and animals. In plants, the timing of MZT and parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome remain unclear. Here, by overcoming technical limitations, we characterize theArabidopsisegg cell, zygote, and embryo transcriptomes across multiple stages. Using these datasets, we demonstrate that MZT occurs during zygote development and is a two-step interrelated process of rapid maternal transcript degradation followed by large-scalede novotranscription. Parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome are stage-dependent: the spherical zygote is characterized by a maternally dominated transcriptome, whereas the elongated zygote transcriptome shows equal parental contributions. Our results show that plant MZT is similar to that in animals, showing a typical two-step process, and that zygotic genome activation is required for zygote elongation and division, indicating thatde novotranscripts are essential for the establishment of zygote polarity and embryogenesis promotion.
