Several efforts have been made to reduce the time to switch from vegetative to reproductive stages in plants, but these solutions are usually species-specific and require flowering. The concept of <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> nurseries is that somatic plant cells can be induced to form haploid cells that have undergone recombination (creating artificial gametes), which can then be used for cell fusion to enable breeding in a Petri dish. The induction of <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> meiosis, however, is the largest current bottleneck to <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> nurseries. To help overcome this, we previously described a high-throughput, bi-fluorescent, single cell system in <jats:italic>Arabidopsis thaliana<\/jats:italic>, which can be used to test the meiosis-like induction capabilities of candidate factors. In this present work, we validated the system using robust datasets (&amp;gt;4M datapoints) from extensive simulated meiosis induction tests. Additionally, we determined false-detection rates of the fluorescent cells used in this system as well as the ideal tissue source for factor testing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpls.2024.1386274","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,8]],"date-time":"2024-07-08T04:51:55Z","timestamp":1720414315000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A cell-based fluorescent system and statistical framework to detect meiosis-like induction in plants"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Tanner M.","family":"Cook","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Biswas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siddique I.","family":"Aboobucker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Somak","family":"Dutta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"L\u00fcbberstedt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpls.2021.732216","article-title":"Maize zmcyp710a8 mutant as a tool to decipher the function of stigmasterol in plant metabolism","volume":"12","author":"Aboobucker","year":"2021","journal-title":"Front.
