ARTIFICIAL
SEED
, INTRODUCTION
Artificial seeds are encapsulated
somatic embryos that can be used as
seed & that posses the ability to convert
into plant under in vitro and ex vitro
condition.
Somatic embryo’s are bipolar
structure with both apical & basal
meristematic region, which are capable
of forming shoot & root respectively.
, TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL
SEEDS
1)DESICCATED SYSTEM
SE’s is 1st hardened to withstand
desiccation & then are encapsulated in
suitable coding material.SEs may be
hardened either by treating/coating mature
SE with suitable polymer followed by
treated with ABA(improve germination of
SE).
Kim & Janicle 1st developed desiccated
artificial seeds from SE of carrot.(5%
solution of polyethylene oxide (polyox
WRS N-750))
