TLDR
This review summarizes relevant experimental observations that can contribute to the description and definition of a transitional state of somatic cells induced to form totipotent, embryogenic cells.Abstract:
Under appropriate in vivo or in vitro conditions, certain somatic plant cells have the capability to initiate embryogenic development (somatic embryogenesis). Somatic embryogenesis provides an unique experimental model to understand the molecular and cellular bases of developmental plasticity in plants. In the last few years, the application of modern experimental techniques, as well as the characterization of Arabidopsis embryogenesis mutants, have resulted in the accumulation of novel data about the acquisition of embryogenic capabilities by somatic plant cells. In this review, we summarize relevant experimental observations that can contribute to the description and definition of a transitional state of somatic cells induced to form totipotent, embryogenic cells. During this somatic-to-embryogenic transition, cells have to dedifferentiate, activate their cell division cycle and reorganize their physiology, metabolism and gene expression patterns. The roles of stress, endogenous growth regulators and chromatin remodelling in the coordinated reorganization of the cellular state are especially emphasized.read more

TL;DR: Comparison of the metabolomes and proteomes suggests that the differential molecular responses begin at an early stage of development and continue throughout the process of EC formation, which could partially explain the higher EC induction ratio in the inbred line 18-599R.

Development of a high throughput system for genetic transformation of olive ( Olea europaea L.) plants
TL;DR: Olive tree, Olea europaea L., is one of the most commercially important oil crops and a reliable protocol for the genetic transformation of this species has been developed, which will allow the genetic improvement of this traditional crop.

Endogenous ethylene in indirect somatic embryogenesis of Medicago sativa L.
TL;DR: Reducing of ethylene biosynthesis by aminoethoxyvinylglycine substantially decreased somatic embryo production and adversely affected their development, indicating ethylene requirement during proliferation and differentiation but not induction.

TL;DR: The capacity for SE was studied in 27 mutants with defects in response to different plant hormones: auxin, ABA, gibberellin and cytokinin, and evaluated in 2-week-old mutant and wild-type cultures in terms of their efficiency and productivity.

TL;DR: The protective role of HSPs is a measure of their capacity to assist in the repair of protein damage, through their chaperoning effects on proteins, protect cells from many forms of stress-induced cell damage and could influence the course of disease.

Cloning and characterization of chi-1: a developmentally regulated member of a novel class of the ionotropic glutamate receptor family
TL;DR: A cloned member of a novel class of the rat ionotropic glutamate receptor family, termed chi-1, exhibits an average identity to NMDA subunits and 23% to non-NMDA sub units, which suggests that chi- 1 may specifically interact with NMDA receptor subunits.
