Paula Elbl's research contributions have significantly advanced our understanding of plant development and embryogenesis. Their work on Brazilian pine (Araucaria angustifolia) has established an auxin gene toolkit for zygotic and somatic embryogenesis, elucidating key regulatory pathways in seed development. Additionally, studies on polyamine metabolism and the roles of arginine and ornithine have shed light on the embryogenic potential of cells. Involvement with other plant species, such as tomato, has further expanded knowledge of meristematic activity and its effects on stem growth. These findings hold great promise for improving agricultural practices and enhancing our understanding of plant biology.
