The Role of Auxin in Plant Embryogenesis.

Plant embryogenesis: Cell division forms a pattern

The recent discovery that another gene involved in plant embryogenesis encodes a probable regulator of membrane traffic demonstrates the central role of cell wall synthesis and deposition in plant development.

Somatic Embryogenesis and Plant Regeneration in Cucumber

The embryogenic capacity of seven cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivars was examined by tissue culture of cotyledon, young first-leaf, and internode explants. Somatic embryogenesis frequencies differed significantly among the tested cultivars, and ‘Fushinarimidori’ produced the highest number of embryos from either cotyledons or young first leaves. Cotyledonand first-leaf-derived calluses pro...

Perspectives on Genetic Analysis of Plant Embryogenesis.

Embryogenesis plays a central role in the life cycle of flowering plants. Ever since the process of double fertilization was documented at the turn of the century, plant embryologists have attempted to characterize the cellular and biochemical changes that occur within developing seeds (Maheshwari, 1950; Raghavan, 1976). For many years, the emphasis was on comparative morphology and the analysi...
