Abstract
Somatic embryogenesis (SE) systems in maize, have proved to be a useful tool for basic research on embryo development that lately have turned into applied research on the establishment of commercial crops. This review discusses recent findings on maize SE on basic research to reveal fundamental aspects of embryo development, its use as a biotechnological tool, and its application in the development of isogenic crops.
