Phenylpropanoid metabolism is one of the most important metabolisms in plants, yielding
more than 8,000 metabolites contributing to plant development and plant–environment …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) that is induced in plant explants in response to auxin treatment
is closely associated with an extensive genetic reprogramming of the cell transcriptome. The …

Floral flavonols play specific pivotal roles in pollinator attraction, pollen germination and
fertility, in addition to other functions in vegetative organs. For many plants, the process of …

Flavonoid metabolism shows very strong plasticity in plant development and coping with the
changing environment. Flavonoid biosynthesis is regulated by many metabolic pathways …

Abstract miR156 is a highly conserved plant miRNA and has been extensively studied
because of its versatile roles in plant development. Here, we report a novel role of miR156 in …

Abstract Key message Combined GWAS, WGCNA, and gene-based association studies
identified the co-expression network and hub genes for maize EC induction. ZmARF23 …

Small RNAs (sRNAs), mainly including miRNAs and siRNAs, are ubiquitous in eukaryotes.
sRNAs mostly negatively regulate gene expression via (post-) transcriptional gene silencing …

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a key step during genetic
engineering. In the current study, integrated widely targeted metabolomics and RNA …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a major regeneration approach for in vitro cultured tissues of
plants, including citrus. However, SE capability is difficult to maintain, and recalcitrance to …

Very early somatic embryogenesis has been recognized as a powerful method to propagate
plants in vitro. For some woody species and in particular for some coniferous trees, somatic …
