Shotgun label-free proteomic and biochemical study of somatic embryos (cotyledonary and maturation stage) in Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don.

ABSTRACT: Somatic embryogenesis is an important and wonderful biotechnological tool used to develop whole plant from a single or a group of somatic cells. The differentiated somatic cells become totipotent stem cells by drastic reprogramming of a wide range of cellular activities, leading to the acquisition of embryogenic competence. After acquiring competence, the cells pass through globular, heart, torpedo and cotyledonary stages of embryo; however, all advanced embryos do not convert into full plant, produce adventive embryos or callus instead, thus reverses the programming. This is a big limitation in propagation of many plants. Understanding and unraveling the proteins at this 'embryo to plantlet' transition stage will help to get more numbers of plants. Thus, our study was aimed at an identifi
