Abstract
Understanding the consequence of characteristic morphological stages during embryo-genesis is required for any project aimed at isolation of genes which control embryonic pattern formation and post-embryonic development. Besides, selection and classification of embryo mutants, as another prerequisite for the most molecular studies, is impossible without the reference fate map showing correct progression of embryogenesis. Construction of such map in somatic embryogenesis can be achieved by two alternative approaches: (1) using synchronous cell-division systems (e.g., Fukuda et al. 1994), or (2) by time-lapse tracking of development of individual embryogenic protoplasts, cells or multicellular structures (Toonen et al. 1994).
