Project description:Plants regenerated from tissue culture frequently show somaclonal variation. In this study we compared the transcriptomic and epigenetic state of embryogenic callus of grapevine with leaves from mature grapevine plants. In particular, we focussed on the expression of transposable elements and changes in siRNA abundance and genome-wide methylation in these tissues.
Project description:The objective of the study was to uncover the developmental dynamics in the artificially induced somatic embryogenesis of Vitis vinifera on the transcriptome level.
