Cell Biology expertise has resulted in the ability to manipulate the cells of plants and microbes so that they can be induced to produce novel products or to regenerate themselves by cloning. By refining distinct processes called “somatic embryogenesis” and “micropropagation” the scientists have been able to regenerate grass, cereal and grape plants from single cells and more complex plant parts. The key ability to achieve single cell-based plant regeneration is necessary to genetically-engineer plants.
