KIL transcription factors facilitate embryo growth in maize by promoting endosperm elimination via lytic cell death
Abstract The endosperm is a transient nutritive tissue in plant seeds. During maize (Zea mays) grain development, two distinct endosperm cell death processes occur: in one process, the endosperm adjac...

Yes indeed PI(4,5)P2 biosensor is enriched at the peri-germ cell membrane 😃 (another parallel!), See the picture below.
It was published here: doi.org/10.1083/jcb.... but confusingly, the peri-germ cell membrane was called here pollen "endo-PM"...

Super nice images 😍
Fascinating question about membrane identity on these "specialized" membranes.
In a very different context, the peri-arbuscular and peri-germ cell membrane (in pollen) show some interesting parallels. 🤔 Lots to think about!...
