Somatic embryogenesis is a developmental process where a plant somatic cell can
dedifferentiate to a totipotent embryonic stem cell that has the ability to give rise to an …

Very early somatic embryogenesis has been recognized as a powerful method to propagate
plants in vitro. For some woody species and in particular for some coniferous trees, somatic …

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is an economically very important and scientifically well
investigated tree species of the northern hemisphere occupying large areas with different …

Several factors affecting somatic embryogenesis (SE) in Pinus sylvestris from self-and cross-
pollinated seed families were studied with the aim of producing large quantities of clonal …

Abstract During 2002–2004, three laboratories in Canada and France collaborated to
improve initiation of somatic embryogenesis (SE) in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) …

In conifers, somatic embryogenesis is uniquely initiated from immature embryos in a narrow
time window, which is considerably hindered by the difficulty to induce embryogenic tissue …

Controlled crosses of seven Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees produced 49 families that
included both reciprocals and selfings. Embryogenic cultures were initiated from immature …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is one of the methods with the highest potential for the
vegetative propagation of commercially important coniferous species. However, many …

Somatic embryogenesis is a useful tool to propagate conifers vegetatively. However, a major
limitation in many pine species is the low quality of cotyledonary somatic embryos. The aim …

Polyamine (PA) metabolism was studied in liquid cultures of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)
embryogenic cells. The focus of the study was on the metabolic changes at the interphase …
