During Arabidopsis embryogenesis, the transition of the embryo's symmetry from radial to bilateral between the globular and heart stage is a crucial event, involving the formation of cotyledon primordia and concurrently the establishment of a shoot apical meristem (SAM). However, a coherent framework of how this transition is achieved remains to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated the function of DELAYED GREENING 1 (DG1) in Arabidopsis embryogenesis using a newly identified dg1-3 mutant. The absence of chloroplast-localized DG1 in the mutants led to embryos being arrested at the globular or heart stage, accompanied by an expansion of WUSCHEL (WUS) and SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) expression. This finding pinpoints the essential role of DG1 in regulating the transition to bilateral symmetry. Furthermore, we showed that this regulation of DG1 may not depend on its role in plastid RNA editing. Nevertheless, we demonstrated that the DG1 function in establishing bilateral symmetry is genetically mediated by GENOMES UNCOUPLED 1 (GUN1), which represses the transition process in dg1-3 embryos. Collectively, our results reveal that DG1 functionally antagonizes GUN1 to promote the transition of the Arabidopsis embryo's symmetry from radial to bilateral and highlight the role of plastid signals in regulating pattern formation during plant embryogenesis
