Abstract excerpt
In Arabidopsis, shoots regenerate on calli derived from hypocotyl explants. Mutations in CUC1 and CUC2 (CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON) reduce the induction of adventitious shoots on calli. To elucidate the function of CUC1 and CUC2 during this process, these genes were overexpressed in calli. Our results indicate that CUC1 and CUC2 promote adventitious shoot formation on calli. To clarify their functions, the...
