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 …

Plant biotechnology is founded on the principles of cellular totipotency and genetic
transformation, which can be traced back to the Cell Theory of Matthias Jakob Schleiden …

The ability to produce morphologically and developmentally normal embryos and, indeed,
whole plants from undifferentiated somatic cells in culture, through the process of somatic …

This paper describes the way in which organization may develop in a cultured mass of cells
which originates by the growth of freely suspended cells that have been obtained in the …

Somatic embryogenesis requires auxin and establishment of the shoot apical meristem
(SAM). WUSCHEL (WUS) is critical for stem cell fate determination in the SAM of higher …

The capacity for somatic embryogenesis was studied in lec1, lec2 and fus3 mutants of
Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. It was found that contrary to the response of wild-type …

Alternating between topic discussions and hands-on laboratory experiments that range from
the in vitro flowering of roses to tissue culture of ferns, Plant Tissue Culture Concepts and …

Conclusion Faced with these possibilities, what should we, as scientists, do? We are in
some sense a privileged minority group, and all of us should be ready to exer-cise the grave …

The general implications of the growth phenomena described in the first two papers of this
series (Steward et al., 1958a, b) are considered. Emphasis is laid upon the fact that …

Is it possible that fully differential cells, cells that have acquired specialized functions and
perhaps have lost some general properties can change their nature, becoming cells of …
