Published: February 2021

Genome-wide characterization of RNA populations in early flowering plant embryos can yield insights into the gene regulatory processes functioning during this formative phase of development. However, early embryonic transcriptomes are technically challenging to profile because of the low amount of RNA obtainable and potential RNA contamination from surrounding nonembryonic tissues. Here we provide a detailed protocol for collecting early Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) embryos, generating mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq) libraries, and basic data processing and quality controls of the resulting mRNA-seq data.

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.

This review covers the latest developments on the regulation of early seed development by phytohormones. The development of seeds in flowering plants starts with the fertilization of the maternal gametes by two paternal sperm cells. This leads to the formation of two products, embryo and endosperm, which are surrounded by a tissue of maternal sporophytic origin, called the seed coat.

root regeneration is the process by which adventitious roots form around the wound site from wounded or detached plant organs. The root regeneration process has been widely exploited in cutting technology used for vegetative propagation. Here, we employed detached leaf explants from to form adventitious roots for studying the process of root regeneration.

Auxin plays a pivotal role in plant development by activating AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs). Under low auxin levels, ARF activity is inhibited by interacting with Aux/IAAs. Aux/IAAs are degraded when the cellular auxin concentration increases, causing the release of ARF inhibition.

Article Synopsis
  • Artemia is a microcrustacean known for its embryos' ability to withstand extreme conditions, thanks in part to a protective protein called artemin.
  • Researchers cloned the artemin gene and introduced it into Arabidopsis thaliana to study its impact on heat stress tolerance.
  • Results showed that transgenic plants with the artemin gene had improved germination rates, root growth, and stress-related gene expression, indicating enhanced heat stress resistance compared to wild-type plants.*
