Application of Somatic Embryogenesis in Woody Plants.
Frontiers in plant science, 2016Co-Authors: Guan Yuan, Li Shuigen, Fan Xiaofen, Su ZhenhongAbstract:Somatic Embryogenesis is a developmental process where a plant Somatic cell can dedifferentiate to a totipotent embryonic stem cell that has the ability to give rise to an embryo under appropriate conditions. This new embryo can further develop into a whole plant. In woody plants, Somatic Embryogenesis plays a critical role in clonal propagation and is a powerful tool for synthetic seed production, germplasm conservation, and cryopreservation. A key step in Somatic Embryogenesis is the transition of cell fate from a Somatic cell to embryo cell. Although Somatic Embryogenesis has already been widely used in a number of woody species, propagating adult woody plants remains difficult. In this review, we focus on molecular mechanisms of Somatic Embryogenesis and its practical applications in economic woody plants. Furthermore, we propose a strategy to improve the process of Somatic Embryogenesis using molecular means.

Current status and future perspectives of Somatic Embryogenesis in Lilium
Plant Cell Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2020Co-Authors: Rui Yan, Yue Sun, Hongmei SunAbstract:Lilies (Lilium spp.) are famous bulb flowers worldwide with high ornamental value. Somatic Embryogenesis in plants, which exhibits the advantages of universal occurrence, genetic stability, and suitability as an exogenous gene transfer receptor system, is vital to bulb propagation, germplasm preservation, genetic trait improvement and polyploid breeding in Lilium. This review systematically summarizes the current research progress on Lilium Somatic Embryogenesis and provides information on the influencing factors, procedures, and physiological and molecular mechanisms of Somatic Embryogenesis; the applications and prospects of Somatic Embryogenesis in the lily industry; and the difficulties associated with Lilium Somatic Embryogenesis. This review aims to provide comprehensive and valuable information for future research on Somatic Embryogenesis in Lilium. This review provides the first report on the research progress in Lilium Somatic Embryogenesis. The review analyzes main factors affecting this developmental pathway, its physiological and molecular mechanisms, and its application in the lily industry and discusses the research difficulties and application prospects of Somatic Embryogenesis in Lilium.

The History of Somatic Embryogenesis
Somatic Embryogenesis: Fundamental Aspects and Applications, 2016Co-Authors: Víctor M. Loyola-vargasAbstract:Somatic Embryogenesis is used currently as a powerful tool in biotechnology. It is also used to study the development of the embryo. Somatic Embryogenesis is a natural phenomenon that was moved from nature to the laboratory by man. The history of the study of Somatic Embryogenesis is plenty of discoveries of very different natures: from the role of growth regulators, mainly auxins, to the function of the components of the media of culture. In this chapter, a revision of the major contribution to the advance of knowledge of Somatic Embryogenesis is made.

Somatic Embryogenesis: Fundamental Aspects and Applications - Somatic Embryogenesis: Fundamental Aspects and Applications
2016Co-Authors: Neftalí Ochoa-alejo, Víctor M. Loyola-vargasAbstract:This book discusses basic and applied aspects of Somatic Embryogenesis, one of the most powerful tools in plant biotechnology. It is divided into three parts; Part I includes topics such as the history of this research field, how differentiated plant cells can (re)acquire totipotency, molecular features, as well as the epigenetics and proteomics of Somatic Embryogenesis. Part II covers the Somatic Embryogenesis of different crops, such as Agave spp. maize, Cocos nucifera, Bixa orellana, Capsicum spp., Coffea spp., Musa spp., Pinus spp., and Arabidopsis thaliana. Various applications, like scale-up propagation and genetic engineering are discussed in detail in Part III. The book will appeal to plant scientists, plant breeders and experts working in industry

Somatic Embryogenesis in Capsicum spp.
Somatic Embryogenesis: Fundamental Aspects and Applications, 2016Co-Authors: Neftalí Ochoa-alejoAbstract:Capsicum species represent a horticultural crop of great importance worldwide, which is frequently exposed to different adverse environmental abiotic or biotic factors that affect field yields. Biotechnology merges as an alternative to improve agriculturally important characteristics in Capsicum through modern approaches. Tissue culture together with molecular biology techniques is the foundation of plant biotechnology. Efficient in vitro plant regeneration protocols need to be developed and established to provide appropriate systems for micropropagation and manipulation through genetic engineering for modern crop improvement programs. Organogenesis and Somatic Embryogenesis are the two ways of generating entire plants in vitro. Somatic Embryogenesis, the asexual process of producing bipolar structures that resemble the sexually generated zygotic embryos, has been described for a number of plant species; however, in the case of Capsicum species the in vitro Embryogenesis systems have faced recalcitrancy problems. In this chapter, the information on Somatic Embryogenesis in Capsicum is presented, and the recalcitrancy problems are discussed.

Insights from Proteomic Studies into Plant Somatic Embryogenesis.
Proteomics, 2018Co-Authors: Angelo Schuabb Heringer, Claudete Santa-catarina, Vanildo SilveiraAbstract:Somatic Embryogenesis is a biotechnological approach mainly used for the clonal propagation of different plants worldwide. In Somatic Embryogenesis, embryos arise from Somatic cells under appropriate culture conditions. This plasticity in plants is a demonstration of true cellular totipotency and is the best approach among the genetic transformation protocols used for plant regeneration. Despite the importance of Somatic Embryogenesis, knowledge regarding the control of the Somatic Embryogenesis process is limited. Therefore, the elucidation of both the biochemical and molecular processes is important for understanding the mechanisms by which a single Somatic cell becomes a whole plant. Modern proteomic techniques rely on an alternative method for the identification and quantification of proteins with different abundances in embryogenic cell cultures or Somatic embryos and enable the identification of specific proteins related to Somatic Embryogenesis development. This review focuses on Somatic Embryogenesis studies that use gel-free shotgun proteomic analyses to categorize proteins that could enhance our understanding of particular aspects of the Somatic Embryogenesis process and identify possible targets for future studies.
