5-azacytidine promotes microspore embryogenesis initiation by decreasing global DNA methylation, but prevents subsequent embryo development in rapeseed and barley
María Teresa Solís,Ahmed-Abdalla El-Tantawy,Vanesa Cano,María Carmen Risueño,Pilar S. Testillano +4 more
TL;DR: Similar effects were found in both species, indicating that DNA demethylation promotes microspore reprogramming, totipotency acquisition, and embryogenesis initiation, while embryo differentiation requires de novo DNA methylation and is prevented by AzaC.
Holm Oak Somatic Embryogenesis: Current Status and Future Perspectives.
M. I. Martínez,M. C. San-José,Isabel Arrillaga,Vanesa Cano,Marian Morcillo,M. J. Cernadas,Elena Corredoira +6 more
TL;DR: The state of the art of somatic embryogenesis in holm oak is reviewed and factors affecting the induction, maintenance, and proliferation of the embryogenic cultures are summarized.
Regeneration of transgenic plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Quercus ilex L. somatic embryos with the gene CsTL1
Vanesa Cano,M. T. Martínez,M. C. San José,J. L. Couselo,E. Varas,L. Bouza-Morcillo,Mariano Toribio,Elena Corredoira +7 more
TL;DR: A protocol for transforming somatic embryos of holm oak with the gene CsTL1 encoding a chestnut thaumatin-like protein (PR protein) is defined and expression of the gene was determined by qPCR.

Efficient Transformation of Somatic Embryos and Regeneration of Cork Oak Plantlets with a Gene (CsTL1) Encoding a Chestnut Thaumatin-Like Protein
TL;DR: A reproducible procedure for transforming somatic embryos of cork oak with the CsTL1 gene that codes for a thaumatin-like protein, in order to confer tolerance to Phytophthora cinnamomi was presented in this article.
Genetic Transformation of Quercus ilex Somatic Embryos with a Gnk2-like Protein That Reveals a Putative Anti-Oomycete Action
TL;DR: Producing holm oak plants that overexpress the Ginkbilobin-2 homologous domain gene (Cast_Gnk2-like) that it is known to possess antifungal properties and observing that transgenic plants were able to survive longer than wild type is observed.
