Polyphenolics during cocoa somatic embryogenesis
Theobroma cacao L. is naturally polyphenolics rich. The involvement of such compounds in imposing recalcitrance for embryogenesis in tissue culture is examined by Alemanno et al. (pp. 613-623). They determine the composition and localization of polyphenols in the flower and changes occurring during somatic embryogenesis. Greater induction of new hydroxycinnamic acid amides synthesis is associated with non-embryogenic conditions.
