--- res: bibo_abstract: - Arabidopsis thaliana is currently the most important model organism for basic molecular plant research. It is also a favourable model for developmental biology, as its embryogenesis follows a nearly invariant pattern of cell divisions and cell type specifications. Study of embryogenesis can involve genetic, physiological or biochemical approaches, but is always limited by the inaccessibility of the embryos which develop deep inside maternal tissue. Thus, for developmental studies, there is an increasing demand for methods which allow embryogenesis under artificial conditions, providing better accessibility to experimental manipulation. In this chapter, we address theoretical aspects of embryo culture, give some thoughts on which embryo culture system is suited best for which application and finally discuss three current methods which have been successfully used in Arabidopsis embryo culture. © 2006 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Michael foaf_name: Sauer, Michael foaf_surname: Sauer - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jirí foaf_name: Jirí Friml foaf_surname: Friml foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=4159519E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0002-8302-7596 bibo_doi: 10.1007/7089_020 bibo_volume: 2 dct_date: 2006^xs_gYear dct_publisher: Springer@ dct_title: In vitro culture of Arabidopsis embryos@ ...
