Developmental regulator-mediated transcriptional reprogramming reveals novel regulators of somatic embryogenesis in sorghum

Recalcitrance to genetic transformation remains a fundamental bottleneck in crop improvement, driven by genotype-specific barriers that include entrenched defense transcriptional states, limited embryogenic competence, and inadequate hormonal reprogramming potential. Here, we present a multi-layered transcriptomic analysis of somatic embryogenesis (SE) and regeneration in two sorghum genotypes…

Save the parasites!

The world is full of tiny things that live off more charismatic hosts. Parasite ecologists say that these critters, too, are finally starting to get the conservation attention they deserve.
