The cost of Carica papaya production through seed-based propagation is increased by sex segregation, making in vitro techniques a more appealing option for clonal propagation. Inducing embryogenic callus with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) hold the potential to large-scale cloning, although ...
Small RNAs constitute a new and unanticipated layer of gene regulation present in the three domains of life. In plants, all organs are ultimately derived from a few pluripotent stem cells localized in specialized structures called apical meristems. The development of meristems involves a coordinated...
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid) is an economically important crop that is widely grown for its sucrose content, and somatic embryogenesis is a promising approach for efficient micropropagation and genetic transformation in this context. The induction of somatic embryogenesis is controlled by vario...
Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is an ideal model for plant cell totipotency. Transition from somatic cells to embryonic cells is the key to SE. The poor frequency of embryonic callus (EC) induction has limited the application of SE in many plants, such as Agapanthus praecox. We performed large-scale, qu...
Purpose: Maize somatic embryogenesis is usually required to achieve genetic transformation and represents an important alternative in plant development. Although many embryogenesis-related genes have been studied in this model, the molecular mechanisms underlying cell dedifferentiation and further p...
