Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow is mango somatic embryogenesis different from germinating a normal sexual seed?
Somatic embryogenesis produces embryo-like structures from nonsexual plant tissue under laboratory culture conditions. It is used in research on regeneration and multiplication, whereas a sexual seed embryo follows fertilization. The tissue source matters to the identity being multiplied. For a nursery, the important outcome is an established, verified plant, not merely production of embryogenic tissue in a flask.
