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

The in vitro tissue cultures are, beyond all difficulties, an essential tool in basic research as
well as in commercial applications. Numerous works devoted to plant tissue cultures proved …

Epigenetic mechanisms are highly dynamic events that modulate gene expression. As more
accurate and powerful tools for epigenetic analysis become available for application in a …

Cell pluripotency is fundamental to biology. It has long been known that differentiated
somatic plant cells may reacquire pluripotency, but the underlying mechanism remains …

Epigenetic factors determine responses to internal and external stimuli in eukaryotic
organisms. Whether and how environmental conditions feed back to the epigenetic …

Plants produced vegetatively in tissue culture may differ from the plants from which they
have been derived. Two major classes of off-types occur: genetic ones and epigenetic ones …

Induction of the pluripotent cell mass termed callus from detached organs or tissues is an
initial step in typical in vitro plant regeneration, during which auxin-induced ectopic …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism for silencing transposons and other
repetitive elements, and for stable repression of specific transgenes and endogenous …

Abstract Information and function of a genome are not only decorated with epigenetic marks
in the linear DNA sequence but also in their non-random spatial organization in the nucleus …

LTR retrotransposons are major components of plant genomes. They are regulated by a
diverse array of external stresses and tissue culture conditions, displaying finely tuned …
