Regeneration serves as a self-protective mechanism that allows tissue or organ to recover its entire form and function after suffering damage. However, the regenerative capacity varies greatly within plant kingdom. Primitive plants frequently display an amazing ability they have developed complex system strategy for long-term survival under extreme stress conditions. The of dicot species is highly variable, but monocots often exhibits recalcitrance replenishment. Recent studies revealed key factors signals affect cell fate during regeneration, some which are conserved among lineage. Among these, several members ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERF) transcription been implicated in wound signaling, playing crucial roles mechanisms different types wounding. An understanding regeneration may ultimately lead increased potential recalcitrant species, producing more high-yielding, multi-resistant environmentally friendly crops ensuring development global agriculture.
