This interesting expression pattern was first observed in maize endosperm and then was expanded to maize meristem evaluated by massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS).

Starch is a major component of maize endosperm and comprises two different forms of carbohydrate polymers: a linear amylose and a branched amylopectin.

This classification is consistent with the many functions of maize endosperm and is comparable with that reported by other workers [ 14, 15].

SRNAs are likely to play a crucial role in the maintenance of genome stability in the maize endosperm, and GO term analyses of siRNA associated genes suggests they are also involved in the regulation of nutrient uptake and storage.

They showed that PSY1 is the only gene family member for which transcript level increased during maize endosperm development and was correlated with accumulation of endosperm carotenoids.

Biochemical characterization of maize endosperm color mutants and transposon tagging helped to identify some maize-specific homologs of carotenoid pathway genes cloned in bacteria and model plant species.
