| Abstract: | Despite
the advancements that have been made in understanding the intricate mechanisms
of embryogenesis, a
lot
remains elusive. However, the understanding of the mutants of different stages
of embryo development viz. tsIl,
gnom,
mickey, lee etc. have opened up new vistas towards gaining insights into their
biochemical and molecular basis
of
embryogenesis. Today, studies on mutants have not only played a major role in
the easier manipulation of PGRs
ill
vitro but have also led to the important discoveries of genes that are involved
in the process of embryo pattern
formation
and in elucidating the underlying genetic, molecular and physiological
mechanisms of inducing polarity,
cotyledon
initiation and pro-vascular tissue differentiation. The present review deals
with the different mutants and
the role they have played in the understanding of
molecular and biochemical insights of somatic embryogenesis. |
