The objective of this study was to improve induction of embryogenesis in wheat microspore culture in order to obtain a high number of regenerable embryos. The arabinogalactan (AG) Larcoll and the arabinogalactan-protein (AGP) from gum arabic were tested on two spring genotypes to see if they could increase microspore viability and induce embryogenesis in the microspore culture. Adding Larcoll significantly decreased microspore mortality in both genotypes regardless of the presence or absence of ovaries in the culture. Similarly, gum arabic had a strong effect on the number of embryos produced and regenerated green plants. In fact, by using only gum arabic we were able to obtain green plants from wheat microspore cultures without the presence of ovaries. In addition to preventing a high mortality rate of the cells, our results show that the induction of embryogenesis in wheat microspore cultures is strongly affected by the use of both AG or AGP.

A tripartite transcriptional module regulates protoderm specification during embryogenesis in Arabidopsis.

Protoderm formation is a crucial step in early embryo patterning in plants, separating the precursors of the epidermis and the inner tissues. Although key regulators such as ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA MERISTEM LAYER1 (ATML1) and PROTODERMAL FACTOR2 (PDF2) have been identified in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the genetic pathways controlling protoderm specification remain largely unexplored. Here, we combined genetic, cytological, and molecular approaches to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of protoderm specification in Arabidopsis thaliana.

In Arabidopsis thaliana, the asymmetric cell division (ACD) of the zygote gives rise to the embryo proper and an extraembryonic suspensor, respectively. This process is controlled by the ERECTA-YODA-MPK3/6 receptor kinase-MAP kinase-signaling pathway, which also orchestrates ACDs in the epidermis. In this context, the bHLH transcription factor ICE1/SCRM is negatively controlled by MPK3/6-directed phosphorylation.

Pratylenchus neglectus and P. thornei are among the most destructive root lesion nematodes of wheat in the Pacific Northwest, United States of America and throughout the world. The aim of this study was to determine whether both nematode species were similar in their ability to induce defense genes in roots of wheat genotype Scarlet, and whether a combination of both species induced a different pattern of gene induction than each species alone.

Acute injury of skeletal muscle disrupts myofibres, microvessels and motor innervation. Myofibre regeneration is well characterized, however its relationship with the regeneration of microvessels and motor nerves is undefined. Endothelial cell (EC) ephrin-B2 (Efnb2) is required for angiogenesis during embryonic development and promotes neurovascular regeneration in the adult.

TOPLESS/TOPLESS-RELATED (TPL/TPR) proteins belong to the Groucho (Gro)/Tup1 family co-repressors and act as broad co-repressors that modulate multiple phytohormone signalling pathways and various developmental processes in plant. However, TPL/TPR co-repressors so far are poorly understood in the rapeseed, one of the world-wide important oilseed crops. In this study, we comprehensively characterized eighteen TPL/TPR genes into five groups in the rapeseed genome.
