Small RNAs are short non-coding RNAs with a length ranging between 20 and 24
nucleotides. Of these, microRNAs (miRNAs) play a distinct role in plant development …

Recent findings call for the critical overview of some incorrectly used plant cell and tissue
culture terminology such as dedifferentiation, callus, totipotency, and somatic …

Successful regeneration of genetically modified plants from cell culture is highly dependent
on the species, genotype, and tissue-type being targeted for transformation. Studies in some …

While the role of proteins in determining cell identity has been extensively studied, the
contribution of small noncoding RNA molecules such as miRNAs and siRNAs has been also …

Plant genetic transformation is a crucial step for applying biotechnology such as genome
editing to basic and applied plant science research. Its success primarily relies on the …

Plant cells are totipotent and competent to regenerate from differentiated organs. It has been
known for six decades that cytokinin-rich medium induces shoot regeneration from callus …

Key message This review summarizes recent knowledge on functions of WUS and WUS-
related homeobox (WOX) transcription factors in diverse signaling pathways governing …

In this review, we summarize the different biosynthesis-related pathways that contribute to
the regulation of endogenous auxin in plants. We demonstrate that all known genes …

Although many plant cell types are capable of producing hormones, and plant hormones
can in most cases act in the same cells in which they are produced, they also act as …

Target of rapamycin (TOR) is an evolutionarily conserved protein kinase that plays a central
role in both plants and animals, despite their distinct developmental programs and survival …
