TLDR
This Review article summarizes the current understanding of how plants control various types of regeneration and discusses how developmental and environmental constraints influence these regulatory mechanisms.
Abstract
Compared with animals, plants generally possess a high degree of developmental plasticity and display various types of tissue or organ regeneration. This regenerative capacity can be enhanced by exogenously supplied plant hormones in vitro, wherein the balance between auxin and cytokinin determines the developmental fate of regenerating organs. Accumulating evidence suggests that some forms of plant regeneration involve reprogramming of differentiated somatic cells, whereas others are induced through the activation of relatively undifferentiated cells in somatic tissues. We summarize the current understanding of how plants control various types of regeneration and discuss how developmental and environmental constraints influence these regulatory mechanisms.

A Two-Step Model for de novo Activation of WUSCHEL during Plant Shoot Regeneration

TL;DR: The results provide important insights into the molecular framework for cytokinin-directed shoot regeneration and reveal a two-step mechanism for de novo activation of WUS, the homeodomain transcription factor for Arabidopsis thaliana.

Type-B ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATORs Specify the Shoot Stem Cell Niche by Dual Regulation of WUSCHEL.

TL;DR: The results reveal a long-standing missing link between cytokinin signaling and WUS regulator, and the findings provide critical information for understanding cell fate specification.

Callus, Dedifferentiation, Totipotency, Somatic Embryogenesis: What These Terms Mean in the Era of Molecular Plant Biology?

TL;DR: The main aim of this review is to provide a theoretical framework supported by recent experimental findings to reconsider certain historical, even dogmatic, statements widely used by plant scientists and teachers such as “plant cells are totipotent” or “callus is a mass of dedifferentiated cells,”or “somatic embryos have a single cell origin.”

The sequential action of miR156 and miR172 regulates developmental timing in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: The transition from the juvenile to the adult phase of shoot development in plants is accompanied by changes in vegetative morphology and an increase in reproductive potential, and the regulatory mechanism is described, which is mediated by sequentially operating miRNAs.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana root explants by using kanamycin selection.

TL;DR: A transformation procedure for Arabidopsis root explants based on kanamycin selection was established and an Agrobacterium tumor-inducing Ti plasmid carrying a chimeric neomycin phosphotransferase II gene (neo) was introduced, resulting in transformed seed-producing plants obtained with an efficiency between 20% and 80% within 3 months after gene transfer.

What are the mechanisms that allow plants to regenerate from cuttings?

Plants regenerate from cuttings through the formation of ectopic apical meristems and subsequent development of shoots and roots. This process occurs directly from parental tissues or indirectly via the formation of a callus.
