Article Synopsis
- Sex segregation in plant propagation raises production costs, making in vitro clonal techniques particularly useful for hermaphroditic plants.
- The study analyzed the proteome of calli from zygotic embryos treated with a plant growth hormone to understand key proteins involved in callus formation over 21 days.
- Results showed distinct patterns in protein accumulation, with certain proteins related to seed maturation decreasing while others tied to metabolism and hormone response increased, highlighting their roles in establishing embryogenic competence.

Article Synopsis
- The ZIP gene family, crucial for transporting cationic elements in plants, includes 11 identified TcZIP genes in cacao with plasma membrane and chloroplast localization.
- Analysis revealed the genes underwent segmental duplication and are under purifying selection, resulting in diverse protein structures with significant metal-binding sites.
- Findings highlight the importance of cation transport, paving the way for developing cacao varieties that are enriched with essential nutrients or capable of detoxifying harmful metals.
