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 …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a mode of stimulated plant cell totipotency wherein embryos
form without fertilization either through somatic or vegetative origins. SE has two main …

Gene regulation is a dynamic process in which transcription factors (TFs) play an important
role in controlling spatiotemporal gene expression. To enhance our global understanding of …

Key message Extensive modulation of numerous ARF transcripts in the embryogenic culture
of Arabidopsis indicates a substantial role of auxin signaling in the mechanism of somatic …

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are well-known enzymes due to their role in detoxification
of xenobiotic compounds. However, their biochemical action is still not so clear in imparting …

Soybean is an important oilseed crop and major dietary protein resource, yet the molecular
processes and regulatory mechanisms involved in biosynthesis of seed storage substances …

Background Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is one of the most promising processes for large-
scale dissemination of elite varieties. However, for many plant species, optimizing SE …

Drought is an important factor limiting plant development and crop production. Dissecting
the factors involved in this process is the key for enhancement of plant tolerance to drought …

Triacylglycerol (TAG) serves as an energy reservoir and phospholipids as build blocks of
biomembrane to support plant life. They also provide human with foods and nutrients. Multi …

Background Grapevine is a major food crop that is affected by global climate change.
Consistent with field studies, dehydration assays of grapevine leaves can reveal valuable …
