Direct somatic embryogenesis and transformation in Cicer arietinum L.

Indian J Exp Biol

Department of Botany, Kakatiya University, Warangal, India.

Published: July 1996

Somatic embryos were induced directly from immature cotyledons of the genotype of chickpea ICC 4918 (annigiri) on B5 medium supplemented with 2,4,5-T or 2,4-D in combination with BA or KN. Successful transformation was achieved via somatic embryogenesis using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404, carrying a binary plasmid vector system containing neomycin phosphotransferase (NPT II) gene as the selectable marker and beta-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter gene. Histochemical staining for GUS expression was observed as primary evidence for transformation.

(L.) Moench is the fifth most important cereal crop and expected to gain prominence due to its versatility, low input requirements, and tolerance to hot and dry conditions. In warm and humid environments the productivity of sorghum is severely limited by the hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen , the causal agent of anthracnose.

Sumoylation is a posttranslational modification essential for multiple cellular functions in eukaryotes. ULP-2 is a conserved SUMO protease required for embryonic development in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we revealed that ULP-2 controls germline development by regulating the PHD-SET domain protein, SET-26.

The recent development of genetic lineage recorders, designed to register the genealogical history of cells using induced somatic mutations, has opened the possibility of reconstructing complete animal cell lineages. To reconstruct a cell lineage tree from a molecular recorder, it is crucial to use an appropriate reconstruction algorithm. Current approaches include algorithms specifically designed for cell lineage reconstruction and the repurposing of phylogenetic algorithms.

Backtracking Cell Phylogenies in the Human Brain with Somatic Mosaic Variants.

Somatic mosaic variants, and especially somatic single nucleotide variants (sSNVs), occur in progenitor cells in the developing human brain frequently enough to provide permanent, unique, and cumulative markers of cell divisions and clones. Here, we describe an experimental workflow to perform lineage studies in the human brain using somatic variants. The workflow consists in two major steps: (1) sSNV calling through whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bulk (non-single-cell) DNA extracted from human fresh-frozen tissue biopsies, and (2) sSNV validation and cell phylogeny deciphering through single nuclei whole-genome amplification (WGA) followed by targeted sequencing of sSNV loci.

The human genome is composed of distinct genomic regions that are susceptible to various types of somatic mutations. Among these, Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) stand out as the most mutable genetic elements. STRs are short repetitive polymorphic sequences, predominantly situated within noncoding sectors of the genome.
