This volume provides an overview of methods for plant species, mainly species with high economic value, to achieve in vitro propagation through somatic embryogenesis. Chapters guide readers through somatic embryogenesis prools, somatic embryos in plants, and new methodologies that are used out to solve in vitro recalcitrance of many species to this morphogenetic route. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible prools. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Somatic Embryogenesis: Methods and Prools aims to guide future researcher to achieve success in obtaining and regenerating somatic embryos.
