An isolated microspore culture provides an excellent system for the study of microspore
induction and embryogenesis, provides a platform for an ever-increasing array of molecular …

The developmental plasticity of plants is beautifully illustrated by the competence of the
immature male gametophyte to change its developmental fate from pollen to embryo …

Androgenesis can be defined as the set of biological processes leading to an individual
genetically coming exclusively from a male nucleus. Androgenesis was traditionally …

Microspore embryogenesis is the most powerful androgenic pathway to produce haploid
and doubled haploid plants. To deviate a microspore toward embryogenesis, a number of …

Tomato, eggplant, and pepper are three solanaceous crops of outstanding importance
worldwide. For hybrid seed production in these species, a fast and cheap method to obtain …

Somatic embryogenesis in Arabidopsis is achieved by culturing bending-cotyledon embryos
on a 2, 4-D-containing induction medium for 14 d followed by a transfer on to a hormone …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is not only the most effective method among various strategies
for the asexual propagation of forest trees but also a basis for genetic improvement …

The role of glutathione (GSH) in the adaptation of wild type Arabidopsis thaliana plants to Cd
stress was investigated. The nutrient solution (control or containing 50 or 100 μM Cd) was …

Root development is regulated by the tripeptide glutathione (GSH), a strong non-enzymatic
antioxidant found in plants but with a poorly understood function in roots. Here, Arabidopsis …

A major barrier to the commercialization of somatic embryogenesis technology in loblolly
pine (Pinus taeda L.) is recalcitrance of some high-value crosses to initiate embryogenic …
