  • Method for reproducing conifers by somatic embryogenesis using lactose as a carbon source
    Patent number: 7906334
    Abstract: A method for reproducing conifers by somatic embryogenesis is disclosed. A galactose-containing compound is used as a carbon source for an embryogenic culture during at least one of the steps of induction, proliferation, and prematuration.

  • Bulk sorting of conifer somatic embryos
    Publication number: 20050246802
    Abstract: The selection and isolation of mature somatic conifer embryos has previously involved chemical based or labour intensive techniques. Disclosed are simple yet highly effective methods to sort somatic embryos according to maturity to generate a population of quality somatic embryos that exhibit a high probability of successful conversion and germination. The methods include liquid sorting of somatic embryos using an aqueous liquid having a specific solute concentration and/or a viscosity. In this way, embryos that have attained a degree of maturity (and preferably desiccation tolerance) can be separated both from embryos that are comparatively immature and importantly from significant quantities of proliferation material and other organic matter generated during embryo propagation.
