Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Somatic embryos are formed from somatic or vegetative tissues of the plants. Somatic embryos are useful for the studies of embryogenesis and also for plant breeding. However, direct induction of normal-looking somatic embryos from plant seedlings is not easily feasible. In this study, we tried to develop a simple method to induce somatic embryos from Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings.
