Plants exhibit a unique regenerative capacity, exemplified by somatic embryogenesis (SE), that is, the formation of embryos from somatic cells. In a recent study, Peng et al. identified LEAFY COTYLEDON2 (LEC2) as a central regulator of SE b...
Phased telomere-to-telomere super-pangenome: definitive reference genome in plants [0.03%]
