ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods for producing conifer cotyledonary somatic embryos. The methods of the present invention each includes the step of culturing embryogenic conifer tissue in, or on, a development medium for a period of time sufficient to produce conifer cotyledonary somatic embryos from the embryogenic conifer tissue, wherein the volume of development medium is in the range of from about 35 ml to about 50 ml per 0.5 mL of embryogenic conifer tissue.
