Somatic embryogenesis is a process by which asexual or somatic cells are induced to form embryos in culture. Somatic embryogenesis is a multi-step regeneration process starting with formation of pro-embryogenic masses, followed by somatic embryo formation, maturation and regeneration. This paper outlined the important processes involved in the somatic embryogenesis.}, keywords = {Somatic Embryogenesis,Micropropagation,Somatic embryo,Regeneration,Plant tissue culture}, url = {https://www.ijbiotech.com/article_6991.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijbiotech.com/article_6991_c81352eff53384a6d70a98efe2805e92.pdf} }
