Relation between Some Cytological, Biochemical, Molecular Markers and Plant Morphogenesis

  • Chapter
Morphogenesis in Plants

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 253))

Abstract

In vivo and in vitro genesis of organs and functions in plants is modulated by multiple factors including environmental factors inputs, exogenous supply and/or endogenous variation of plant growth regulators. Auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene and abscisic acid have long been recognized as acting on in vivo plant growth and development and on in vitro morphogenesis such as organogenesis, embryogenesis and callus formation. Other classes of molecules such as polyamines, lectins, flavonoids, oligosaccharides (Fry, 1986; Lerouge et al., 1990; Tran Thanh Van et al., 1985) and salicilic acid (Raskin, 1992), have been quoted in the literature as acting on plant and cell growth. More recently, glycoproteins have been shown to be involved in somatic embryogenesis (De Jong et al., 1992; LoSchiavo et al., 1990) and lectins in legume/rhizobium recognition (Diaz et al., 1989).
