Integrated Proteomic and Metabolomic Analyses Provide Insights Into Acquisition of Embryogenic Ability in Agapanthus praecox.

ABSTRACT: Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is an ideal model for plant cell totipotency. Transition from somatic cells to embryogenic cells is the key to SE. The poor frequency of embryogenic callus (EC) induction has limited the application of SE in many plants, such as Agapanthus praecox. We performed large-scale, quantitative proteomic and metabolomic analyses with different callus differentiation directions (SE and organogenesis) and stages (initial SE and repetitive SE) to better understand the morphological, physiological, and molecular characteristics of the acquisition of embryogenic ability in A. praecox. Integrated proteomic and metabolomic analyses suggested that callus differentiation direction was potentially regulated by pathways related to carbohydrate and energy metabo
