TLDR
Quantification studies using a competition ELISA system employing an anti-PSK-alpha polyclonal antibody showed that PSK production might be related to growth of cells, rather than development of somatic embryos, so the stimulatory effect of PSK on somatic embryo formation might be due to promotion of cell proliferation.
Abstract
Somatic embryogenesis of the carrot (Daucus carota L.) depends on a set of factors, some of which accumulate in culture medium (conditioned medium, CM). When embryogenic cell clusters were transferred to an embryo-inducing medium, addition of CM derived from somatic embryo culture markedly stimulated somatic embryo formation. The active principles were purified using a simple bioassay system and identified to be phytosulfokines (PSKs), sulfated oligopeptide growth factors originally isolated from a CM derived from asparagus {Asparagus officinalis L.) mesophyll culture. Quantification studies using a competition ELISA system employing an anti-PSK-a polyclonal antibody showed that PSK production might be related to growth of cells, rather than development of somatic embryos. Thus the stimulatory effect of PSK on somatic embryo formation might be due to promotion of cell proliferation.

An LRR receptor kinase involved in perception of a peptide plant hormone, phytosulfokine.

TL;DR: Overexpression of this receptor kinase in carrot cells caused enhanced callus growth in response toPSK and a substantial increase in the number of tritium-labeled PSK binding sites, suggesting that PSK and this receptor Kinase act as a ligand-receptor pair.

NaCl stress causes changes in photosynthetic pigments, proteins, and other metabolic components in the leaves of a true mangrove,Bruguiera parviflora, in hydroponic cultures

TL;DR: The results showed that a true mangrove such as 8.parviflora can easily be sustained and propagated under low-salinity conditions, and that the plants became adapted to salt stress after two to three weeks.

Salt tolerance mechanisms in mangroves: a review

TL;DR: A general picture of salt tolerance mechanisms of mangroves is given, thus providing a new avenue for development of saltolerance in crop plants through effective breeding strategies and genetic engineering techniques.

Posttranslationally Modified Small-Peptide Signals in Plants

TL;DR: This review covers 20 years of research into posttranslationally modified small-peptide signals in plants and highlights the importance of the location of the modification group incorporated into the peptides by specific modification enzymes and the peptide chain length defined by the processing enzymes for biological function and receptor interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Embryo production through somatic embryogenesis can be used to study cell differentiation in plants

TL;DR: The focus of this review is on embryo development through somatic embryogenesis and especially the factors affecting cell and embryo differentiation.

A revised medium for rapid growth and bio assays with tobacco tissue cultures

TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.

The Effect of Activated Charcoal on Tissue Cultures: Adsorption of Metabolites Inhibiting Morphogenesis

TL;DR: It was shown by mass spectrometry that the media without charcoal contained high amounts of phenylacetic acid and p-OH-benzoic acid (Daucus, Allium, and Haplopappus), whereas the media with activated charcoal did not.

Identification and Isolation of Single Cells that Produce Somatic Embryos at a High Frequency in a Carrot Suspension Culture

TL;DR: There are at least two phases in the differentiation of embryos from single cells, and the progression of the first phase required exogenous auxin, whereas that of the second phase was inhibited by the same growth regulator.
