This review compiles research results published over the last 14 years on conifer somatic
embryogenesis (SE). Emphasis is placed on the newest findings that affect the response of …

Olive is one of the most important oil tree crop worldwide and great attention is paid on its
genetic improvement. Although different breeding programs have been developed, several …

Despite a much later inception of somatic embryogenesis (SE) propagation protocols for
gymnosperms than for angiosperm species, SE is becoming increasingly important due to its …

Olive is one of the most important oil crops in the Mediterranean area. Biotechnological
improvement of this species is hampered by the recalcitrant nature of olive tissue …

To determine the optimal embryogenic capacity (somatic embryo production) of the selected
elite nematode-resistant genotypes of Pinus thunbergii, variables such as embryogenic …

This paper presents the results of several experiments identifying basal salts (BS) contained
in maturation medium, polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentration, abscisic acid (ABA) …

Somatic embryos of Persian walnut were transformed with two strains of Agrobacterium
tumefaciens ie LBA4404 and C58, and two plasmids, namely, pBI121 with nptII and gus …

Abstract Fraser fir (Abies fraseri [Pursh] Poir.) is a coniferous species native to the Southern
Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States. The species has high economic and …

In coniferous species, including Greek fir (Abies cephalonica Loud), the involvement of
somatic embryo plants in breeding and reforestation programs is dependent on the success …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) provides us a potent biotechnological tool to manipulate the
physical and chemical conditions (water availability) along the process and to study their …
