ABSTRACT:
Conifer somatic embryos can be desiccated to a moisture content below 50%. A moisture content as low as 10% can be produced. The desiccated somatic conifer embryos have greatly increased ability to store lipids and other nutrients as compared to the corresponding zygotic embryo. The embryos are desiccated using a method which requires the utilization of ABA and PEG.
