Physiological States and Metabolic Phenotypes in Embryonic Development

  • Chapter
Cell and Tissue Culture in Forestry

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 24-26))

Abstract

A goal for the mass clonal propagation of trees is to control the developmental process accurately and to regenerate trees with elite genes that are expressed in a true-to-type fashion. Achievement of this goal will contribute significantly to the exploitation of genetic variability in existing germplasm. Since we now have several examples of somatic embryogenesis (SE) in forest trees (Tulecke, Durzan, this volume) and a basic understanding of zygotic embryogenesis (e.g., 28, 29, 84, 97) we can expect the emergence of models for large scale clonal propagation. This includes the need for improved diagnostic reasoning and quality control for in vitro procedures.
