The cover shows the RFP protein synthesis in the synergid cell of a SNAIL1‐GFP labeled ovule. The synchrony of female gametophyte development is essential for successful male‐female communication and sexual reproduction. In this issue, Hao et al. (629–641) report that a nucleolar‐localized protein SNAIL1 involved in ribosome biogenesis is required for synchronous development of female gametophyte in Arabidopsis .
