Auxin regulates a vast array of growth and developmental processes throughout the life
cycle of plants. Auxin responses are highly context dependent and can involve changes in …

Plants start their life as a single cell, which, during the process of embryogenesis, is
transformed into a mature embryo with all organs necessary to support further growth and …

Mutations in CUC1 and CUC2 (for CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON), which are newly identified
genes of Arabidopsis, caused defects in the separation of cotyledons (embryonic organs) …

Petunia embryos carrying the no apical meristem (nam) mutation fail to develop a shoot
apical meristem. Occasional shoots on nam− seedlings bear flowers that develop ten …

THE KNOTTED class of plant genes encodes homeodomain proteins1, 2. These genes
have been found in all plant species where they have been sought3–5 and, where …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

The shoot apical meristem and cotyledons of higher plants are established during
embryogenesis in the apex. Redundant CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON 1 (CUC1) and CUC2 …

This review will summarize molecular and genetic analyses aimed at identifying the
mechanisms underlying the sequence of events during plant zygotic embryogenesis. These …

ARF proteins are important regulators of membrane dynamics and protein transport within
the eukaryotic cell. The Sec7 domain is∼ 200 amino acids in size and stimulates guanine …

Microspores have the remarkable capacity to develop into haploid plants via embryogenesis
in vitro. Stress treatment acts as a trigger for inducing this sporophytic pathway, preventing …
