Abstract excerpt
Suppression of Arabidopsis GLB2, a type-2 nonsymbiotic hemoglobin, enhances somatic embryogenesis by increasing auxin production. In the glb2 knock-out line (GLB2-/-), polarization of PIN1 proteins and auxin maxima occurred at the base of the cotyledons of the zygotic explants, which are the sites of embryogenic tissue formation. These changes were also accompanied by a transcriptional upregulation of WUSCHEL...
