METHODS FOR INCREASING GERMINATION VIGOR BY EARLY SINGULATION OF CONIFER SOMATIC EMBRYOS

摘要

In one aspect, a method is provided for increasing germination vigor of conifer somatic embryos produced in vitro. The method comprises (a) singulating a plurality of individual immature conifer somatic embryos from a first culture of embryos after a first incubation period in a first development media; and (b) contacting the plurality of singulated immature conifer somatic embryos with a second development media for a second incubation period.
