abstract somatic embryogenesis is a new approach to in vitro plant propagation. this technique is based on stem cell obtain and its differentiation to a complete plant. this is affected by components of media culture. so, the effects of ms, b5 and nl media on carrot petiole somatic embryogenesis investigated via histological experiment. to do this, carrot petioles (with 1 cm dimension) cultured...

This review will summarize molecular and genetic analyses aimed at identifying the mechanisms underlying the sequence of events during plant zygotic embryogenesis. These events are being studied in parallel with the histological and morphological analyses of somatic embryogenesis. The strength and limitations of somatic embryogenesis as a model system will be discussed briefly. The formation of...

frequency of somaclonal variation in embryogenic calli and plants of olea europaea l cv.kroneiki derived from somatic embryogenesis were examined by randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) analysis. radicle and cotyledon (proximal part) of mature zygotic embryo were cultured in omc medium supplemented with iba (5 mgl-1) and 2-ip (0.5 mgl-1). somatic embryogenesis was induced in calli of radic...

Somatic embryogenesis is widely preferred as the regeneration route for in vitro studies in cotton. However, the regeneration efficiency through this approach is low; a problem that is believed to be as a result of the biochemical properties of the plant. The objective of this study was to investigate possible relationships between three biochemical factors (reducing sugars, phenols, and free a...

Somatic embryogenesis is an in vitro system employed for plant propagation and the study of embryo development. Nitrogen is essential for plant growth and development and, hence, the production of healthy embryos during somatic embryogenesis. Glutamine has been shown to increase plant biomass in many in vitro applications, including somatic embryogenesis. However, several aspects of nitrogen nu...

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) in forest trees is considered as one powerful approach in cloning elite genotypes. However, SE is difficult to achieve in tissue or cell beyond the mature embryo phase in trees and its physiological process involved are also poorly understood. Recently metabolic profiling studies have been contributed to understand the mechanism involved in SE process of plant [1-3]. ...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of certain nutrient medium types enhanced with plant-growth regulators on direct inductionof somatic embryogenesis in vegetative strains produced and propagated from a tissue culture Digitalis purpurea. The results showthat MS was superior other tested media-B5, LS, 5C01—in terms days required initiate somaticembryogenesis induction rate. In contrast,...

background:  stresses such as heat shock, starvation, or osmotic is essential to lead isolated microspores towards embryogenesis. despite the effectiveness of stresses in embryogenesis, they exert adverse effects on metabolism and growth of the regenerated plants.objectives: the effects of heat shock and 2,4-d treatment on total protein content of treated microspores, morphological and physiolo...
