Abstract
The major pathways and key events related to somatic embryo development in Catalpa bungei were illustrated by deep analysis of DEGs and quantification of hormone contents. Catalpa bungei C.A. Meyer is a valuable timber species, known as "The king of wood" in China. Due to the low propagation rate, somatic embryogenesis-based rapid propagation can regenerate a large number of new plants in a very short period of time and thus has great commercial value for this timber species. However, the mechanisms of somatic embryogenesis in C. bungei remain largely unclear so far. In our previous study, we established the vegetative propagation system in C. bungei using immature zygotic embryo as explants. Here, we further compared the transcriptional profiles and hormones contents between the embryogenic callus (EC) and non-embryogenic callus (NEC). RNA-seq analysis showed a total assembly of 73038 unigenes, and identified 12310 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between EC and NEC. Also, six DEGs were chosen to verify the authenticity of the transcriptome sequencing results by qRT-PCR. Moreover, by using LC-MS approaches, we quantified various plant hormone contents and found that auxin and ABA were dramatically higher in EC than those in NEC. Accordingly, DEGs were enriched in plant hormone signaling pathways. Taken together, we highlight the hormone effects on somatic embryogenesis in a tree species, C. bungei. The use of certain genes as markers of embryogenesis induction in C. bungei regeneration process will provide new tools to pre-screen genotypes or tissue culture hormone combinations suitable for somatic embryo production. Our results provide theoretical references for the somatic embryogenesis mechanism and experimental bases for breeding and rapid propagation of C. bungei.

Abstract
Araucaria angustifolia is the only native conifer of economic importance in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. Due to a clear-cutting form of exploitation this species has received the status of vulnerable. The aim of this work was to investigate and characterize changes in protein expression profile during seed development of this endangered species. For this, the proteome of developing seeds was characterized by 2-DE and LC-MS/MS. Ninety six proteins were confidently identified and classified according to their biological function and expression profile. Overaccumulated proteins in early seed development indicated a higher control on oxidative stress metabolism during this phase. In contrast, highly expressed proteins in late stages revealed an active metabolism, leading to carbon assimilation and storage compounds accumulation. Comprehensive protein expression profiles and identification of overaccumulated proteins provide new insights into the process of embryogenesis in this recalcitrant species. Considerations on the improvement and control of somatic embryogenesis through medium manipulation and protein markers screening using data generated are also discussed.

Abstract
Forestry is a valuable natural resource for many countries. Rapid production of large quantities of genetically improved and uniform seedlings for restocking harvested lands is a key component of sustainable forest management programs. Clonal propagation through somatic embryogenesis has the potential to meet this need in conifers and can offer the added benefit of ensuring consistent seedling quality. Although in commercial use, mass production of conifers through somatic embryogenesis is relatively new and there are numerous biological unknowns regarding this complex developmental pathway. To aid in unravelling the embryo developmental process, two-dimensional electrophoresis was employed to quantitatively assess the expression levels of proteins across four stages of somatic embryo maturation in white spruce (0, 7, 21 and 35 days post abscisic acid treatment). Forty-eight differentially expressed proteins have been identified, which display a significant change in abundance as early as day 7 of embryo development. These proteins are involved in a variety of cellular processes, many of which have not previously been associated with embryo development. The identification of these proteins was greatly assisted by the availability of a substantial expressed sequence tag (EST) resource developed for white, sitka and interior spruce. The combined use of these spruce ESTs in conjunction with GenBank accessions for other plants improved the rate of protein identification from 38% to 62% when compared with GenBank alone using automated, high-throughput techniques. This underscores the utility of EST resources in a proteomic study of any species for which a genome sequence is unavailable.
