野生芸苔属植物通过荚果破碎机制释放种子；在油菜等相关作物中，这可能导致种子的大量损失，从而导致收入损失，而且在种子的分配中也可能污染未来的作物和环境。为了确定可以通过常规育种计划或基因工程来减少粉碎的策略，我们使用细胞学，细胞化学和分子技术的组合研究了油菜（Brassica napus）及其相关的B. juncea和Arabidopsis的果实发育。我们在这里报告了果实成熟过程中细胞分化和组织发育的模式，并提出了这是如何导致碎裂表型的。
Wild Brassica plants release seeds by a pod shattering mechanism; in related crop plants, such as oil-seed rape, this can result in substantial loss of seed, and hence loss of revenue, and also in the distribution of seeds which can contaminate future crops and the environment. To identify strategies which may be used to reduce shatter, either by conventional breeding programmes or by genetic engineering, we have examined fruit development in oil-seed rape (Brassica napus), and in the related B. juncea and Arabidopsis, using a combination of cytological, cytochemical and molecular techniques. We report here on the patterns of cellular differentiation and tissue development during fruit maturation, and suggest how this results in the shattering phenotype.
