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 following points highlight the top six applications of embryo culture. The applications are: 1. Rescuing Embryos from Incompatible Crosses 2. Overcoming Dormancy and Shortening Breeding Cycle 3. Overcoming Seed Sterility 4. Embryo Callus has Organogenic Potential 5. Production of Monoploids and Diploids 6. Biotechnological Application. Application # 1. Rescuing Embryos from Incompatible Crosses: In case of interspecific or inter-generic [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on organogenesis. In plant tissue culture, organogenesis is a process of differentiation by which plant organs like roots, shoots, buds etc. are formed from the unusual points of origin of an organized explants where a preformed meristem is lacking. Plant development through organogenesis is the formation of organs either de novo or [...]
