Plant regeneration occurs when plants repair or replace damaged structures based on the
totipotency and pluripotency of their cells. Tissue culture is one of the most widely used …

In eukaryotic cells, gene expression is greatly influenced by the dynamic chromatin
environment. Epigenetic mechanisms, including covalent modifications to DNA and histone …

Nutrients and energy have emerged as central modulators of developmental programmes in
plants and animals,–. The evolutionarily conserved target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase is a …

This article focuses on the molecular and hormonal mechanisms underlying the control of
fleshy fruit ripening and quality. Recent research on tomato shows that ethylene, acting …

Disruption of gene silencing by Polycomb protein complexes leads to homeotic
transformations and altered developmental-phase identity in plants,,,,. Here we define short …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon leading to parentally biased gene
expression. Throughout the years, extensive efforts have been made to characterize the …

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 …

Plants are immobile and must respond to or endure fluctuating surroundings and diverse
environmental challenges. Environmental inputs often induce chromatin modifications at …

Apomixis is a form of reproduction leading to clonal seeds and offspring that are genetically
identical to the maternal plant. While apomixis naturally occurs in hundreds of plant species …

Flowering is one of the most critical developmental transitions in plants' life. The irreversible
change from the vegetative to the reproductive stage is strictly controlled to ensure the …
