Abstract

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) serves as a key biological model for studying cell totipotency and the ontogenic processes of zygotic embryogenesis in plants. The SE process, under in vitro conditions, can be induced from different sources of explant cultivated in a culture medium with plant growth regulators (PGR) or by subjecting tissues to abiotic stress treatments. Somatic embryogenesis, in plant tissue culture (PTC), is a multifactorial event. The use of PGR, particularly auxins, is an important factor during induction. However, in vitro abiotic stress treatments are physiologically, biochemically, and genetically relevant and should be further studied.

Keywords: Abiotic stress; Micropropagation; Morphogenesis; Osmotic stress; Oxidative stress.
