PROCESS FOR INDUCING DIRECT SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS AND SECONDARY EMBRYOGENESIS IN MONOCOTYLEDONOUS PLANT CELLS, AND RAPIDLY REGENERATING FERTILE PLANTS

摘要

A process for inducing direct somatic embryogenesis and secondary embryogenesis in monocotyledonous plant cells and rapidly regenerating fertile monocotyledonous plants is provided. Also provided is a process for inducing direct somatic embryogenesis in monocotyledonous plant cells and rapidly regenerating fertile monocotyledonous plants without secondary embryogenesis. Also provided is a process for inducing direct somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis in monocotyledonous plant cells and rapidly regenerating fertile monocotyledonous plants. Also provided is a process for inducing somatic embryogenesisin monocotyledonous callus cells, susp ension cells, or microspore-derived embryos, and rapidly regenerating fertile monocotyledonous plants. Fertile monocotyledonous plants produced according to the processes of the invention are also provided.
