Organogenesis vs. Somatic embryogenesis


ORGANOGENESIS
SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS
1. Organogenesis is the process of morphogenesis involving the formation of plant organ i.e., shoot, root, flowers, buds from explants or cultured plant tissues.
1. The process of regeneration of embryos from somatic cells, tissues, or organs is regarded as somatic (or asexual) embryogenesis.
2. During organogenesis, shoots or roots develop from a group of cells resulting into Chimera formation which later established a strong connection with the maternal tissues.
2. The embryo arises from a single cell and has no vascular connection with maternal callus tissue or cultured explants.
3. In the induction of organogenesis, it requires two different hormonal signals to induce shoot first and then root organ.
3. Induction of somatic embryogenesis requires a single hormonal signal to induce a bipolar structure capable of forming a complete plant.
4. Organogenesis is a monopolar structure.
4. Embryogenesis is a bipolar structure.

PHASE CONTRAST MICROSCOPY

Introduction: Most cells are too small to be seen by the naked eyes, the study of cells has depended heavily on the use of microscopes. Mi...
