Key message This review discusses the epigenetic changes during somatic embryo (SE)
development, highlights the genes and miRNAs involved in the transition of somatic cells …

Genome-editing technologies have advanced in recent years but designing future crops
remains limited by current methods of improving somatic embryogenesis (SE) capacity. In …

Somatic embryogenesis is a type of plant cell totipotency where embryos develop from
nonreproductive (vegetative) cells without fertilization. Somatic embryogenesis can be …

To form tissue networks, animal cells migrate and interact through proteins protruding from
their plasma membranes. Plant cells can do neither, yet plants form vein networks. How …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a type of induced cell totipotency where embryos develop
from vegetative tissues of the plant instead of from gamete fusion after fertilization. SE can …

Seeds are essential for human civilization, so understanding the molecular events
underpinning seed development and the zygotic embryo it contains is important. In addition …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a key regeneration pathway in various biotechnology
approaches to crop improvement, especially for economically important perennial woody …

Somatic cell totipotency in plant regeneration represents the forefront of the compelling
