2024-11-15
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The clonal propagation method somatic embryogenesis (SE) has been shown to affect plant resistance to an insect pest. In a field trial, Norway spruce SE-plants (emblings) experienced less damage by the bark-chewing pine weevil compared to seedlings propagated through seeds from the same mother tree. Moreover, if emblings were treated with the defense-inducing hormone methyl jasmonate (M...
