The BABY BOOM (BBM) AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (AIL) AP2/ERF domain transcription factor
is a major regulator of plant cell totipotency, as it induces asexual embryo formation when …

Somatic embryogenesis is an example of induced cellular totipotency, where embryos
develop from vegetative cells rather than from gamete fusion. Somatic embryogenesis can …

Members of the AP2 family of transcription factors, such as BABY BOOM (BBM), play
important roles in cell proliferation and embryogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtBBM) and …

The molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and maintenance of the embryonic
pathway in plants are largely unknown. To obtain more insight into these processes, we …

Ectopic expression of the Brassica napus BABY BOOM (BBM) AP2/ERF transcription factor
is sufficient to induce spontaneous cell proliferation leading primarily to somatic …

Gain-of-function studies have shown that ectopic expression of the BABY BOOM (BBM)
AP2/ERF domain transcription factor is sufficient to induce spontaneous somatic …

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

Plants have evolved a number of transcription factors, many of which are implicated in
signaling pathways as well as regulating diverse cellular functions. BABY BOOM (BBM) …

Abstract AGAMOUS-Like15 (AGL15) is a MADS domain transcriptional regulator that
promotes somatic embryogenesis by binding DNA and regulating gene expression …

The molecular pathways that trigger the initiation of embryogenesis after fertilization in
flowering plants, and prevent its occurrence without fertilization, are not well understood …
