Somatic embryoids obtained from cell suspension cultures of fennel in Linsmaier-Skoog medium containing 2,4-D and kinetin readily developed into plantlets when plated on a hormone-free agar medium. These plants were transplanted to the field to be tested for the uniformity of the chemically as well as the morphologically important characteristics of fruits. The results of field trials conducted for two years have confirmed that the clonal plants derived from somatic embryoids are remarkably uniform in all the characteristics examined in comparison with the control plants propagated through seeds. It is suggested, therefore, that the quality control of fennel fruits used for spice or medicine could be achieved by means of clonal propagation through somatic embryoids.

In this protocol for obtaining doubled haploids plants (DH), we propose a new method for microspore isolation. This method is useful for genotypes of the Brassicaceae family with low responsiveness to DH technology. For such crops, it allows increasing the embryo yield several times and sometimes obtaining embryos for the first time.

Organoid generation from pluripotent stem cells is a cutting-edge technique that has created new possibilities for modelling human organs , as well as opening avenues for regenerative medicine. Here, we present a protocol for generating skin organoids (SKOs) from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) via direct embryoid body formation. This method provides a consistent start point for hiPSC differentiation, resulting in SKOs with complex skin architecture and appendages (e.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are obtained by introducing exogenous genes or adding chemicals to the culture medium to induce somatic cell differentiation. Similarly to embryonic stem cells, iPSCs have the ability to differentiate into all three embryonic cell lines. iPSCs can differentiate into cardiac muscle cells through two-dimensional differentiation methods such as monolayer cell culture and co-culture, or through embryoid body and scaffold-based three-dimensional differentiation methods.

Saffron ( L.), being one of the distinguished commercial spice crops in the world, is in demand for its culinary, colorant, and pharmaceutical benefits. In this study, a novel indirect somatic embryogenesis (SE) system was, thus, established for the study of this plant.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on generating goat-induced pluripotent stem cells (giPSCs) using episomal vectors carrying human pluripotent genes, which enhances their scientific applications in areas like cellular agriculture and cloning.
  • Traditional methods for creating giPSCs are complicated and inefficient, prompting researchers to explore a simpler, non-enzymatic method for isolating goat dermal fibroblast cells.
  • The resulting giPS-like colonies demonstrated characteristics of pluripotency, including positive staining for alkaline phosphatase and the formation of embryoid body-like aggregates, indicating a promising approach for efficient giPSC generation.
