Inter-population crosses and transplantations of plants among populations are used to restore genetically eroded populations [1], [2] despite the fact that this can result in outbreeding depression, especially in fragmented, and thus genetically differentiated, plant populations (e.g., [2] [5]).
Classical callus induction experiments demonstrated the capacity of isolated differentiated plant tissues to regenerate full adult organisms.
Using plants as a surrogate organism for study, Wolff explained the ability of differentiated plant root to regenerate a new organism.
Further investigations are therefore required to fully clarify the role of differentiated plant cells during tissue reprogramming towards a pluripotent state.
Describing the relationship of the architecture and genetic control of undifferentiated structures such as the SAM and those of differentiated plant parts, such as leaf morphology, plant height, flowering time, and inflorescence architecture, may lead to important insights into plant development and the regulators of differentiated plant structure morphology.
Phenotypic correlations of meristem morphology with adult plant traits showed an association between the meristem and flowering time, leaf shape, and yield traits, revealing links between the control and architecture of undifferentiated and differentiated plant organs.
Given the limited gene flow and prior evidence of adaptive divergence among populations of this species, regional collections are recommended in all cases to maintain diversity and to avoid long-distance introductions of highly differentiated plant material.
Principal component analysis highlighted that revealed metabolites differentiated control plants from all bioeffector treatments.
It effectively differentiated control plants from all bioeffectors treatments, and, in particular, the B4 treatment from the rest (B1 B3).
