Abstract

Carrot Argonaute1 (C-Ago1) was isolated from a subtractive cDNA library to obtain somatic embryogenesis related genes. C-Ago1 has three conserved domains, which are found in all other Argonautes. C-Ago1 has specific expression during somatic embryogenesis, which indicates that microRNA gene expression controlling system is required for somatic embryogenesis.
