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 …

Plants reprogram somatic cells following injury and regenerate new tissues and organs.
Upon perception of inductive cues, somatic cells often dedifferentiate, proliferate, and …

Hornworts, liverworts and mosses are three early diverging clades of land plants, and
together comprise the bryophytes. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the …

Compared with animals, plants generally possess a high degree of developmental plasticity
and display various types of tissue or organ regeneration. This regenerative capacity can be …

Euphyllophytes encompass almost all extant plants, including two sister clades, ferns and
seed plants. Decoding genomes of ferns is the key to deep insight into the origin of …

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

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

Most of the transcription factors (TFs) responsible for controlling seed development are not
yet known. To identify TF genes expressed at specific stages of seed development, including …

Somatic embryogenesis is a method of asexual reproduction that can occur naturally in
various plant species and is widely used for clonal propagation, transformation and …

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) constitute a highly efficient form of energy storage. In seeds of
angiosperms, they can act as a reserve of carbon and energy allowing to fuel post …
