Abstract

About 20 years ago, molecular genetic analysis of tissue culture responses with temperature-sensitive mutants of Arabidopsis was launched in the laboratory of Prof. Atsushi Komamine as a new approach to mechanisms of plant organogenesis in vitro. In this and later studies, many interesting mutants were isolated and characterized, which led to the identification of unexpected genes as important players involved in organogenesis in vitro. The present article provides an overview of the outcomes from these molecular genetic studies derived from Komamine’s work.
