Propagation of plants

Successful growth and propagation of plant cells freely suspended in liquid media was first demonstrated almost 50 years ago (11-13). Much attention has been focused since on elucidating the necessary media components that support growth and differentiation of the culture. The role of growth regulators was pointed out in 1957 (14) and the process of somatic embryogenesis was realized in...

Plant cell and tissue culture methods can be used for the mass propagation of plants. Cells (often from the growing tip) can be grown in a medium containing one hormone to form a callus or a suspension. 

Fendrik and Glubrecht (265) have used a stable isotope activation method to investigate the propagation of plant pollen. Gage, Richardson and Bouchey (307) are among the first experimenters to use indicator... 

The practical uses of somatic embryos include the massive propagation of plants of high commercial value and more importantly their use in basic research and in plant breeding programs where biotechnological tools are used.
