CALLUS PLURIPOTENCY

Regenerating from the middle

Nature Plants volume 7, pages 1441–1442 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

Hormone-induced plant regeneration involves acquisition of pluripotency based on auxin–cytokinin crosstalk. A recent study demonstrates the spatial and functional organization of callus cells and the role of pluripotent middle-layer cells in de novo tissue regeneration.
