Genes essential for female gametogenesis, fertilization, and seed development are present in the
embryo sac transcriptome datasets.
(a) Chromosomal
locations of 35 essential genes. Five genes that are described in the current work are shown in
blue. (b) Five genes and the locations of corresponding mutant alleles described in this work. Exons are shaded in
orange. The genes were named after the following Goddesses: KERRIDWIN, the Welsh triple Goddess of trinity
known for nurturing children; OMISHA, Indian Goddess of birth and death; FREYA, the Norse Goddess of
fertility; and ILITHYIA, the Greek Goddess of childbirth. HOG1, HOMOLOGY DEPENDENT GENE
SILENCING 1; LB and RB, left and right borders of the T-DNA. (c) Mutants were identified based on infertile
ovules (ken-1) or seed abortion (hog1-6, oma-1, fey-1, and ila-1). The arrows identify the defective ovules. Scale
