somatic cells of tissue cultures from freshly isolated carrot explants,
and also from established callus strains, can be induced to from adventure embryos by manipulation of the medium.

seed,
showing
typical
globular and torpedo stages.
this phenomenon provides excellent proof first demonstration of embryogenesis in carrot cultures there have been many examples of embryogenesis in cell cultures of other higher plants and the number of reports is still increasing
