Proliferative Somatic Embryogenesis in Woody Species

  • Chapter
Book cover Somatic Embryogenesis in Woody Plants

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 55))

Abstract

Somatic embryogenesis has been the subject of many excellent books and reviews. These reviews are either organised around groups of plant species, for example woody species as in the volumes of this series (Jain et al., 1995). Other reviews dealing with woody species are: Tulecke, 1987; Durzan, 1988; Becwar et al., 1988; Wann, 1988; Dunstan et al., 1995; Fowke et al., 1995. Most reviews are organised disciplinary: tissue culture procedures (Williams & Maheswaran, 1986; Raemakers et al., 1995a), developmental aspects (Ammirato, 1987; Carman, 1990; Jong et al., 1993; Emons, 1994; Schuman et al., 1995; Yeung, 1995), molecular biology (Zimmerman, 1993; Kawahara & Komamine, 1995; Wilde et al., 1995; Dudits et al., 1995), physiology (Nomura & Komamine, 1995; Hendriks & de Vries, 1995) and biochemistry (Schmidt et al., 1994; Nomura & Komamine, 1995). In the third group of reviews applications of somatic embryogenesis are discussed: transformation (Ellis, 1995), protoplast culture (Parrott et al., 1991), production of haploid plants (Morrison & Evans, 1988; Ferrie et al., 1995; Germana, 1997), micropropagation (Parrott et al., 1991; Bornman, 1993) or synthetic seeds (Gray et al., 1995).
