Recent findings call for the critical overview of some incorrectly used plant cell and tissue
culture terminology such as dedifferentiation, callus, totipotency, and somatic …

Plants as sessile organisms have remarkable developmental plasticity ensuring heir
continuous adaptation to the environment. An extreme example is somatic embryogenesis …

Plant cells are totipotent and competent to regenerate from differentiated organs. It has been
known for six decades that cytokinin-rich medium induces shoot regeneration from callus …

De novo organogenesis is a process through which wounded or detached plant tissues or
organs regenerate adventitious roots and shoots. Plant hormones play key roles in de novo …

Key message This review summarizes recent knowledge on functions of WUS and WUS-
related homeobox (WOX) transcription factors in diverse signaling pathways governing …

Regeneration, a remarkable example of developmental plasticity displayed by both plants
and animals, involves successive developmental events driven in response to …

Plant cells have a powerful capacity in their propagation to adapt to environmental change,
given that a single plant cell can give rise to a whole plant via somatic embryogenesis …

Age and wounding are two major determinants for regeneration. In plants, the root
regeneration is triggered by wound-induced auxin biosynthesis. As plants age, the root …

De novo shoot regeneration in tissue culture undergoes at least two phases. Explants are
first cultured on auxin-rich callus-inducing medium (CIM) to produce a group of pluripotent …

A major challenge in developmental biology is unraveling the precise regulation of plant
stem cell maintenance and the transition to a fully differentiated cell. In this review, we …
