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.
the pathway
of development
of these
somatic
embryos
closely
follows
that
taken by the fertiliser egg cell
in the embryo
sac of the developing
carrot
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
