An isolated apical cell developed into a small globular embryo after artificial dysfunction of the basal cell.
- Taxon
- angiospermsMagnoliopsidae0
- Organ / stage
- apical celle2
- Outcome
- develop into a small globular embryoe2
- Qualifier
- after artificial dysfunction of the basal celle2
Verbatim
e0“In angiosperms, the first zygotic division usually gives rise to two daughter cells with distinct morphologies and developmental fates”
e2“We also demonstrated that the isolated apical cell could develop into a small globular embryo, both in vivo and in vitro, after artificial dysfunction of the basal cell; however, these growing apical cell lineages could never generate a new suspensor”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation An isolated basal cell developed only into a typical suspensor, never into an embryo, in vitro.
- Observation Apical cell lineages could never generate a new suspensor.
- Observation The initial round of cell fate specification occurs at the two-celled proembryo stage.
- Observation The basal cell lineage is autonomously specified towards the suspensor.
