This paper focuses on early stages of somatic embryogenesis. Single cells giving rise to somatic embryos are shown to establish an axis before undergoing asymmetric division.

Plant Cell 1996, 8:783-791. The expression of a marker gene was used to characterize the developmental effects of mutations in three genes causing pattern defects in the embryo. Specifically, apical-basal polarity was found to be impaired in gnom mutant embryos.

Differential screening for markers of embryogenic competence of somatic cells resulted in the identification of a component of signal transduction that is specifically expressed in early embryogenesis.

Plant Cell 1996, 8:2155-2168. The expression of ATML1 reveals the earliest cell fate specification events in embryogenesis. Specifically, this gene is first expressed in the apical daughter cell of the zygote and continues to be expressed in its progeny. Following the asymmetric divisions of these progeny in the eight cell stage embryo, gene expression becomes confined to the epidermis primordium.

Cell 1993, 86:423-433. The SCARECROW gene is required for the asymmetric cell divisions that generate cortex and endodermis from ground tissue. The gene is specifically expressed in the ground tissue cells and expression becomes confined to the endodermis after the asymmetric cell division.
