VTC2 depletion improves SE in Arabidopsis. (A) Schematic representation of the SE process in Arabidopsis. (B) Callus size significantly increases in vtc2-5 (solid line) compared with the WT [dashed line; means±standard deviation (SD)]. (C) Number of mature somatic embryos formed per callus (means±SD). Asterisks above the bar indicate significant difference from control values (P<0.05) at the same sampling time. (D) Zygotic embryos in WT (top) and vtc2-5 (bottom). Bar, 1mm. (E) Representative embryos at 7 d on induction medium. Bar, 1.5mm. (F) At 14 d on induction medium, proliferation of the embryo is much more profound in vtc2 compared with WT. Bar, 3.5mm. (G) Embryos were transferred to a medium lacking 2,4-D. Here, we show three representative clusters of somatic embryos at 14 d of maturation. Bar, 5mm.
