METHOD FOR REGENERATION OF CONIFEROUS PLANTS BY SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS EMPLOYING POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL

摘要

AN IMPROVED METHOD FOR REGENERATION OF CONIFEROUS PLANTS BY SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS EMPLOYING POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL This invention relates to a method for regeneration of coniferous plants. In par ticular, this invention relates to an improved method for producing and developing somatic emb ryos for somatic embryogenesis processes for plants of the genus Pinus and Pinus interspe cies hybrids by including polyethylene glycol in the development media. This method is well s uited for producing clonal planting stock useful for reforestation.
