Induction of Embryogenesis in Suspension Culture

  • Protocol

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology™ ((MIMB,volume 6))

Abstract

The initiation and development of embryos from differentiated tissue (somatic tissue) was first observed by Steward et al. (1) in 1958, but earlier researchers had already observed these formations in culture, without recognizing them as embryos.
