Compared with animals, plants generally possess a high degree of developmental plasticity
and display various types of tissue or organ regeneration. This regenerative capacity can be …

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

The transition between dormancy and germination represents a critical stage in the life cycle
of higher plants and is an important ecological and commercial trait. In this review we …

Plants as sessile organisms have remarkable developmental plasticity ensuring heir
continuous adaptation to the environment. An extreme example is somatic embryogenesis …

Most of the transcription factors (TFs) responsible for controlling seed development are not
yet known. To identify TF genes expressed at specific stages of seed development, including …

Somatic embryogenesis is an example of induced cellular totipotency, where embryos
develop from vegetative cells rather than from gamete fusion. Somatic embryogenesis can …

Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling
established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes …

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) constitute a highly efficient form of energy storage. In seeds of
angiosperms, they can act as a reserve of carbon and energy allowing to fuel post …

Somatic embryogenesis is a form of induced plant cell totipotency where embryos develop
from somatic or vegetative cells in the absence of fertilization. Somatic embryogenesis can …

Somatic embryogenesis is a method of asexual reproduction that can occur naturally in
various plant species and is widely used for clonal propagation, transformation and …
