Abstract:
A
method will be developed for vegetative propagation of two economically
important pine species, Pinus sylvestris and P. pinaster, by using
somatic embryos. The method will be based on knowledge about how
somatic embryos of pine proliferate and develop and how the different
steps are regulated. The best growth conditions for the in
vitro steps, especially for maturation, will be defined, allowing
establishment of vigorous plants under outdoor conditions. The
method will be approved for seed families of high value for forestry.
Embryogenic cultures will be cryopreserved. Somatic embryo plants
will be regenerated. The potential of the method will be assessed
by the end-users by comparing the early performance of regenerated
somatic embryo plants to seedlings from the same families and
estimating whether the plant material of interest is generated
in a satisfactory way.
