The Pacific Oyster was introduced on Santa Catarina Island in 1987, experiencing processes of selection and genetic breeding since then. Such procedures may have led to the establishment of specific strains, given the saltier and warmer conditions of the Atlantic Ocean. This study employed microsatellite markers to compare allelic patterns of oysters cultivated in Santa Catarina, the USA, and Asia. Specific allelic patterns were revealed in the Santa Catarina samples, reflecting the time of selection/breeding of the oyster in this region. This result supports the effectiveness of the selection/breeding procedures and the demand for protection of this commercially important genetic resource.

Genomic DNA methylation patterns play a crucial role in the developmental processes of plants and mammals. In this study, we aimed to investigate the significant effects of epigenetic mechanisms on the development of soybean seedlings and metabolic pathways. Our analyses show that 5-azaC-treatment affects radicle development from two Days After Imbibition (DAI), as well as both shoot and root development.

In plant tissue culture, differences in endogenous levels of species-specific plant growth regulators (PGRs) may explain differences in regenerative capacity. In the case of polyamines (PAs), their dynamics and distribution may vary between species, genotypes, tissues, and developmental pathways, such as sexual reproduction and apomixis. In this study, for the first time, we aimed to assess the impact of varying endogenous PAs levels in seeds from distinct reproductive modes in Miconia spp.

Article Synopsis
  • Sex segregation in plant propagation raises production costs, making in vitro clonal techniques particularly useful for hermaphroditic plants.
  • The study analyzed the proteome of calli from zygotic embryos treated with a plant growth hormone to understand key proteins involved in callus formation over 21 days.
  • Results showed distinct patterns in protein accumulation, with certain proteins related to seed maturation decreasing while others tied to metabolism and hormone response increased, highlighting their roles in establishing embryogenic competence.
