Somatic Embryogenesis in Grapevine

  • Chapter
Molecular Biology & Biotechnology of the Grapevine

Abstract

Somatic embryogenesis has been defined as the initiation of embryos from plant somatic tissues closely resembling their zygotic counterparts (Ammirato, 1983). This morphologic event has been documented as occurring spontaneously in some plant species (Yarbrough, 1932; Taylor, 1967), however it is usually induced in tissue cultures, potentially from almost any part of the plant body, directly from the explant (Dubois et al., 1991) or — more frequently — after a callus stage. In vitro somatic embryogenesis was first reported in 1958 (Reinert, 1958; Steward, 1958; Steward et al., 1958) in Daucus carota tissue cultures; since then, it has been described for many species, and proved to be widespread in the various plant taxa.
