The ovule is the carrier of the female gametophyte of angiosperm and the precursor of the seed, which plays a great role in plant sexual reproduction. The molecular evolution mechanism of ovule development has been the focus of attention. The Arabidopsis thaliana has been a model plant for the field of molecular biology research, which provides the theoretical foundation for the organ development in angiosperms. This study summarized the recent studies on molecular mechanism of ovule formation in A rabidopsis thaliana, and discussed from five aspects, including the carpel margin meristem forma...
