Abstract excerpt
Formation of somatic embryos from non-germline cells is unique to higher plants and can be manipulated in a variety of species. Previous studies revealed that overexpression of several Arabidopsis genes, including WUSCHEL (WUS)/PLANT GROWTH ACTIVATOR6 (PGA6), BABY BOOM, LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1), and LEC2, is able to cause vegetative-to-embryonic transition or the formation of somatic embryos. Here, we report that...
