Although several types of plant cells retain the competence to enter into embryonic
development without fertilization, the molecular mechanism (s) underlying ectopic …

Plant mature cells have the capability to reverse their state of differentiation and produce
new organs under cultured conditions. Two phases, dedifferentiation and redifferentiation …

Through its photosynthetic capacity the leaf provides the basis for growth of the whole plant.
In order to improve crops for higher productivity and resistance for future climate scenarios, it …

Somatic embryogenesis is one of the most powerful tools in plant biotechnology. It can be
used to produce plants commercially, or to carry out basic studies of cell differentiation, gene …

The ability to produce morphologically and developmentally normal embryos and, indeed,
whole plants from undifferentiated somatic cells in culture, through the process of somatic …

A benchmark text, Developmental Genetics and Plant Evolution integrates the recent
revolution in the molecular-developmental genetics of plants with mainstream evolutionary …

De novo shoot organogenesis (DNSO) is a procedure commonly used for the in vitro
regeneration of shoots from a variety of plant tissues. Shoot regeneration occurs on nutrient …

It is well known that auxins (Ax) and cytokinins (Ck) are key regulators of plant cell division
and differentiation. These growth regulators can induce plant cell reprogramming. The …

The ability to regenerate is widely exploited by multitudes of organisms ranging from
unicellular bacteria to multicellular plants for their propagation and repair. But the levels of …

In this review, we address the role of stress as one of the principal causes for a cell or tissue
to change its pre-existing somatic program, reprogramming itself to express the …
