Embryogenesis Flashcards
Sporophytic phases
Embryogenesis
Vegetative development
Reproductive development
Embryogenesis stages
Zygotes stage Globular stage Heart stage Torpedo stage Mature stage
Apical Cell vs basal Cell
A: cytoplasmically dense
B: longer and vacuolated
Auxin in embryogenesis
Mobile chemical signal during embryogenesis
PIN proteins
Class of auxin transporters
GNOM protein
Establish polar distribution of auxin efflux proteins
GN
Guanine nucleotide exchange factor
Polarized localization of PIN proteins
MONOPTEROS
Encodes a transcription factor activated by auxin
MP gene
Encodes for an auxin response factor
-regulate transcription of genes involved in auxin responses
Regulates genes that guide auxin-dependent vascular development
(Mutants lack basal domains of embryo-defective in vascular patterning)
WOODEN LEG gene
Cytokinin response receptor
Mutants develop xylem but not phloem
Establishes radial pattern elements
Apical-basal and radial axes mechanisms
A combination of hormone signaling and transcriptional control
Normal roots auxin location
Quiescent center
CUC
Cup shaped cotyledon
-NAC transcription factor
