Strategies for Effective Somatic Embryogenesis in Grapevine: An appraisal

  • Chapter
Grapevine Molecular Physiology & Biotechnology

Following our previous review on the progress in somatic embryogenesis in the Vitis genus until the beginning of this millennium (Martinelli and Gribaudo 2001), the present review reports the state-of the-art of this morphogenic process stressing the milestones, the most recent advances and the main points of interest. With this chapter, the authors aim to offer an experienced background to researchers who intend to study grape morphogenesis and to scientists who want to achieve successfully somatic embryogenesis in this fruitcrop.
