The in vitro tissue cultures are, beyond all difficulties, an essential tool in basic research as
well as in commercial applications. Numerous works devoted to plant tissue cultures proved …

Plant regeneration occurs when plants repair or replace damaged structures based on the
totipotency and pluripotency of their cells. Tissue culture is one of the most widely used …

Plant cells have a profound capacity to regenerate their full array of tissues from already
differentiated organs, as best demonstrated in in vitro regeneration systems. Although critical …

Morphogens are involved in the establishment of positional information that is essential for
pattern formation. In plants, the phytohormone auxin displays some characteristics of a …

Imagine a textbook entitled Developmental Biology that focuses entirely on plants,
mentioning animals only for their peculiar way of making germ cells by setting aside a group …

One of the most important demands of multicellularity is the co-ordination of cell proliferation
and cell growth to allow the ultimate differentiation of functional organs and tissues. In …

The biotechnology of somatic embryogenesis holds considerable promise for clonal
propagation and breeding programes in forestry. To efficiently regulate the whole process of …

Plants are sessile organisms, some of which can live for over a thousand years. Unlike most
animals, plants employ a post-embryonic mode of development driven by the continuous …
