Abstract
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), a member of the family Umbellifereae is an annual herb. It is of great economic importance and used as flavoring in Chinese food. It is normally propagated through seed, but micropropagation through somatic embryogenesis would be of great significance. Somatic embryogenesis in this plant was first reported by Steward et al. in 1970, and later studied by Zee (1981) and Schäfer et al. (1986). In this chapter our work on the induction of somatic embryos and their conversion into artificial seed is summarized.
