Plant regeneration from chestnut somatic embryos
Maintenance of embryogenic competence and control of plant recovery is of great importance for somatic embryogenesis systems of woody species. Corredoira et al. (pp. 129-136) investigate proliferation, maturation and conversion ability of chestnut somatic embryos. They show that carbon source and pre-germination treatments, such as cold storage, have a marked influence on maturation and germination of somatic embryos.
