Dynamic environmental changes such as extreme temperature, water scarcity and high
salinity affect plant growth, survival, and reproduction. Plants have evolved sophisticated …

Plants produce and accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) in their seeds as an energy reservoir to
support the processes of seed germination and seedling development. Plant seed oils are …

The molecular pathways that trigger the initiation of embryogenesis after fertilization in
flowering plants, and prevent its occurrence without fertilization, are not well understood …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important natural fiber crop in the world.
The overall genetic diversity among cultivated species of cotton and the genetic changes …

The BABY BOOM (BBM) AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (AIL) AP2/ERF domain transcription factor
is a major regulator of plant cell totipotency, as it induces asexual embryo formation when …

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

Background Adventitious root (AR) formation in excised plant parts is a bottleneck for
survival of isolated plant fragments. AR formation plays an important ecological role and is a …

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) enhance plants regeneration ability to form various organs
and tissues by determining embryonic fate in vivo and boosting regeneration efficiency in …

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 …

Regeneration, a remarkable example of developmental plasticity displayed by both plants
and animals, involves successive developmental events driven in response to …
