Abstract
The development of cleavage polyembryos of wheat, maize and radishin vivo andin vitro was compared. Some frequent features (such as common suspensors or suspensor-like structures, “concrescences”, enlarged radicular meristems) suggest a similar origin of cleavage polyembryos inducedin vivo and those inducedin vitro from the proembryo. Cleavage of the original zygotic or somatic proembryo may occur either at a few-celled stage or later in the phase of radicular meristem establishment.
