Plant hormones play critical roles in the establishment of somatic embryogenesis. During this process, somatic plant cells reverse their state of differentiation, acquire pluripotentiality and set up a new developmental ...

Endogenous levels of IAA, ABA and four types of CKs were analyzed in zygotic and indirect (ISE) and direct somatic embryogenesis of Acca sellowiana. Zygotic and somatic embryos at different developmental stages were sampled ...

Angiosperm and gymnosperm plants evolved from a common ancestor about 300 million years ago. Apart from morphological and structural differences in embryogenesis and seed origin, a set of embryogenesis-regulating genes and ...

In vitro culture protocols have been developed for many species, mainly using empirical approaches, to induce somatic embryogenesis from various explant types. However, the underlying biochemical mechanisms governing ...

Somatic embryogenesis is an in vitro morphogenetic route in which isolated cells or a small group of somatic cells give rise to bipolar structures resembling zygotic embryos. Lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins are major ...

Somatic embryogenesis in scutella of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a well documented phenomenon and it has been shown through transcriptome analysis that genes involved in antioxidant responses, particularly in glutathione ...

Deschampsia antartctica Desv. is a type of grass that is physiologically and biochemically adapted to the extreme environmental conditions of the Antarctic continent, which is of interest to many investigators. To ...
