Effect of parent genotype on somatic embryogenesis in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris).

Abstract excerpt

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 megagametophytes and after 6 months in maintenance culture, mature somatic embryos were produced from the surviving 166 lines. The effect of parent genotypes on the cultures was evaluated at initiation of the tissue culture period,...
