Figure 6From: The Theobroma cacao B3 domain transcription factor TcLEC2plays a duel role in control of embryo development and maturationOverexpression of TcLEC2 increases tertiary somatic embryogenesis efficiency. A. Tertiary PSU-SCA6 culture on hormone free medium at 4 weeks ACI. B. Tertiary stable transgenic E12Ω::TcLEC2 culture on hormone free medium at 4 weeks ACI. C. Tertiary PSU-SCA6 culture on hormone free medium 20 weeks after culture initiation. D. Tertiary stable transgenic E12Ω::TcLEC2 culture on hormone free medium at 20 weeks ACI. E. Average number of tertiary embryos produced per explant from PSU-SCA6 and stable transgenic E12Ω::TcLEC2 explants (n = 4, mean ± SE) (Bars = 2 mm).Back to article page
