MiR172 Regulates WUS during Somatic Embryogenesis in Arabidopsis via AP2.

ABSTRACT: In plants, the embryogenic transition of somatic cells requires the reprogramming of the cell transcriptome, which is under the control of genetic and epigenetic factors. Correspondingly, the extensive modulation of genes encoding transcription factors and miRNAs has been indicated as controlling the induction of somatic embryogenesis in Arabidopsis and other plants. Among the MIRNAs that have a differential expression during somatic embryogenesis, members of the MIRNA172 gene family have been identified, which implies a role of miR172 in controlling the embryogenic transition in Arabidopsis. In the present study, we found a disturbed expression of both MIRNA172 and candidate miR172-target genes, including AP2, TOE1, TOE2, TOE3, SMZ a
