All land plants—the embryophytes—produce multicellular embryos, as do other multicellular
organisms, such as brown algae and animals. A unique characteristic of plant embryos is …

Rapeseed is one of the most important oil crops in the world. Increasing demand for oil and
limited agronomic capabilities of present-day rapeseed result in the need for rapid …

During microspore embryogenesis, microspores are induced to develop into haploid
embryos. In Brassica napus, microspore embryogenesis is induced by a heat shock (HS) …

The auxin signaling molecule regulates a range of plant growth and developmental
processes. The core transcriptional machinery responsible for auxin-mediated responses is …

The use of doubled haploid (DH) technology enables the development of new varieties of
plants in less time than traditional breeding methods. In microspore embryogenesis (ME) …

Microspore embryogenesis (ME) is the most powerful tool for creating homozygous lines in
plant breeding and molecular biology research. It is still based mainly on the reprogramming …

Microspore cultures generate a heterogeneous population of embryogenic structures that
can be grouped into highly embryogenic structures [exine-enclosed (EE) and loose …

Stress-induced microspore embryogenesis is a widely employed method to achieve
homozygosity in plant breeding programs. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern …

Brassica napus is a species of high agronomic interest, used as a model to study different
processes, including microspore embryogenesis. The DH4079 and DH12075 lines show …

Plants show exceptional developmental plasticity and the ability to reprogram cell identities
during regeneration. Although regeneration has been used in plant propagation for …
