() microspore-derived embryogenesis has become a model system to study basic aspects of plant development. Recognized transcription factors governing embryogenesis include: (), a member of the plant-specific B3-domain family, and (), a member of the HAP3 subunit of the CCAAT binding factor family. The effects of altered expression of both genes were investigated during microspore-derived embryogenesis in established lines over-expressing or down-regulating , as well as in tilling lines where was mutated. While over-expression of decreases the yield of microspore-derived embryos (MDEs) without affecting their ability to regenerate plants, suppression of or reduced both embryo number and regeneration frequency. Embryos produced by these lines showed structural abnormalities accompanied by alterations in the expression of several embryogenesis-marker genes. Oil accumulation was also altered in the transgenic MDEs. Total oil content was increased in MDEs over-expressing and decreased in those suppressing or . Mutation of also resulted in a small but significant increase in linoleic (C18:2) acid. Together this study demonstrates the crucial role of and during embryogenesis.

Background: Traditional breeding methods have long been employed worldwide for the evaluation and development of pepper cultivars. However, these methods necessitate multiple generations of screening, line development, evaluation, recognition, and crossing to obtain highly homozygous lines. In contrast, in vitro anther-derived microspore culture represents a rapid method to generate homozygous lines within a single generation.

Background: Microspore culture is one of the important biotechnological tools in plant breeding. The induction of microspore embryogenesis is a critical factor that affects the yield of microspore-derived embryo productions. Cold treatment has been reported to reprogram the gametophytic pathway in various plant species.

Embryonic development is a key developmental event in plant sexual reproduction; however, regulatory networks of plant early embryonic development, particularly the effects and functional mechanisms of phospholipid molecules are still unknown due to the limitation of sample collection and analysis. We innovatively applied the microspore-derived in vitro embryogenesis of Brassica napus and revealed the dynamics of phospholipid molecules, especially phosphatidic acid (PA, an important second messenger that plays an important role in plant growth, development, and stress responses), at different embryonic developmental stages by using a lipidomics approach. Further analysis of Arabidopsis mutants deficiency of CDS1 and CDS2 (cytidinediphosphate diacylglycerol synthase, key protein in PA metabolism) revealed the delayed embryonic development from the proembryo stage, indicating the crucial effect of CDS and PA metabolism in early embryonic development.

This chapter deals with induction of haploidy via parthenogenesis in Persian walnut and via microspore embryogenesis in almond and hazelnut. Haploid induction through in situ parthenogenesis using pollination with irradiated pollen to stimulate the embryogenic development of the egg cell, followed by in vitro culture of the immature haploid embryos. Microspore embryogenesis allows the induction of immature pollen grains (microspores), to move away from the normal gametophytic developmental route in the direction of the sporophytic one, yielding homozygous organisms (embryos in this case).
