The suspensor in the majority of angiosperms is an evolutionally conserved embryonic organ functioning as a conduit that connects ovule tissues with the embryo proper for nutrients and growth regulators flux. In this article the present knowledge on the embryo-suspensor ultrastructure and function in representatives of Crassulaceae genera: Sedum, Jovibarba, Sempervivum, Aeonium, Monanthes, Aichryson and Echeveria. The role of the suspensor in the transport of nutrients from the tissues of the ovule to the proper embryo is confirmed by the structure of the basal cell, especially the nature of the micropylar part of its wall, the "transfer wall". The basal suspensor cell is a site of intense metabolic activity. The special attention is paid to the plasmodesmata. The correlation between types of suspensors and structure of plasmodesmata was investigated. Final conclusions are given and the presented data summarized.

L. (Crassulaceae)-round-leafed navelwort-is used worldwide as a potted ornamental plant, and it is also used in South African traditional medicine. The current work aims to assess the influence of plant growth regulators (PGR) on somatic embryogenesis (SE) in ; compare the metabolite profile in early, mature, and germinated somatic embryos (SoEs) by utilizing ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS); and determine the antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory potentials of SoEs.

The unique mechanism by which leaf margin cells regain potency and then form a plantlet in Kalanchoë spp. remains elusive but involves organogenesis and embryogenesis in response to age, day length, nutrient availability, and drought stress. In light of this, we investigated whether TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (TOR), a conserved protein kinase in eukaryotes that controls cell growth and metabolism in response to nutrient and energy availability, may regulate plantlet formation.

Oxidative stress can impede maturation of the nucleus and cytoplasm of oocytes during maturation (IVM). , an herb commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, conveys antioxidative effects to cryopreserved bovine sperm. Therefore, the aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of aqueous extract (RSAE) on IVM and subsequent embryonic development after parthenogenetic activation (PA), fertilization (IVF), and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).

The suspensor in the majority of angiosperms is an evolutionally conserved embryonic structure functioning as a conduit that connects ovule tissues with the embryo proper for nutrients and growth factors flux. This is the first study serving the purpose of investigating the correlation between suspensor types and plasmodesmata (PD), by the ultrastructure of this organ in respect of its full development. The special attention is paid to PD in representatives of Crassulaceae genera: , , , and .
