Abstract
Since the first reported induction of somatic embryogenesis in carrot cell cultures more than 25 years ago (131, 151), there has been significant progress and numerous reviews (3–6, 8, 17, 25, 35, 40, 41, 48, 51, 98, 103, 123, 126, 128, 135, 145, 166, 167). Consequently, this review will emphasize the more recent work on woody perennials, including conifers and woody monocotyledonous plants. Reviewed elsewhere in this series are somatic embryogenesis in endosperm (Lakshmi Sita), haploids (Rohr, Chen), and the role of ammonia in somatic embryogenesis (Durzan).
