Theobroma cacao: Somatic Embryogenesis

, 2022
AbstractA two-step process combining direct and indirect somatic embryogenesis, on solid and liquid medium, respectively is described forTheobroma cacao L.Staminodes and petals from unopened bud flowers are used to induce primary direct embryos. Then, these primary embryos are cut to produce embryogenic calli which will develop secondary embryos.
