To cope with these challenges, plants have developed a range of stress tolerance mechanisms, one of which involves the production of Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins. These proteins play ...

"Switching on BBM1 artificially in the egg cell is enough to start embryogenesis and make a new plant, but this process only worked about a third of the time," said Sundaresan. "One of the things ...

Understanding the reprogramming of gene expression and metabolism is critical for the success of somatic embryogenesis-based plant tissue regeneration. Here, the authors report single-cell RNA ...
