This research aimed to study how exposing somatic embryos of Araucaria angustifolia to cold temperatures in vitro could enhance somatic embryogenesis. The somatic embryos were induced from immature zygotic embryos, grown for 120 days, and then subjected to 4.5°C for 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 days. After the cold treatment, the embryogenic cultures were returned to 25±2°C for 20 days and examined using light microscopy and cytochemistry. It was found that the embryogenic cultures at the PEM III stage did not show further development, and the growth of the embryogenic masses was negatively affected in the longer-duration cold treatment. Overcoming these challenges in the somatic embryogenesis protocol for A. angustifolia requires further integrative investigations on epigenetic events driving the zygotic embryo development.

Bananas and plantains are important staple food crops affected by biotic and abiotic stresses. The gene editing technique via Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats associated with the Cas protein (CRISPR/Cas) has been used as an important tool for development of cultivars with high tolerance to stresses. This study sought to develop a protocol for the construction of vectors for gene knockout.

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.

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) provides alternative methodologies for the propagation of grapevine ( spp.) cultivars, conservation of their germplasm resources, and crop improvement. In this review, the current state of knowledge regarding grapevine SE as applied to these technologies is presented, with a focus on the benefits, challenges, and limitations of this method.

Biomanufacturing enables novel sources of compounds with constant demand, such as food coloring and preservatives, as well as new compounds with peak demand, such as diagnostics and vaccines. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for alternative sources of research materials, thrusting research on diversification of biomanufacturing platforms. Here, we show initial results exploring the walnut somatic embryogenic system expressing the recombinant receptor binding domain (RBD) and ectodomain of the spike protein (Spike) from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
