In this article we will discuss about: 1. Process of Somatic Embryogenesis 2. Embryo Maturation and Synchronisation 3. Cultural Conditions 4. Recurrent Embryogenesis and Mass Production 5. Applications. After fertilization, zygote is transformed into adult status through a series of embryogenic processes. Despite the same genetic constituents, somatic cells on the other hand, do not reorient towards embryo production. However, [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on somatic embryogenesis. Somatic embryogenesis is the process in which a single cell or a small group of cells follow a developmental pathway that leads to reproducible regeneration of non-zygotic embryos which are capable of producing a complete plant. These non-zygotic embryos may originate directly from other organs or parthenogenetic embryos (without [...]
The below mentioned article provides an short notes on Somatic Embryogenesis. The formation of embryos (embryoids) in plant tissue culture was first reported by Steward ('59) in cell suspension culture of carrot. Formation of embryoids in callus culture of carrot on agar medium was reported by Reinert ('59). Vegetative embryoids have been noticed in tissue culture of various plants, such [...]
