Other claims from this paper (9)
- Method / resource A simple and efficient protocol for initiating Douglas-fir embryogenic tissue was developed from modified previously published techniques.
- Intervention effect Disinfection of whole cones was sufficient to prevent contamination, instead of disinfecting seeds.
- Observation Proliferating Douglas-fir cell lines were challenging to maintain, with a high percentage composed of a mixture of embryonal masses and callus.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D at a lower concentration reduced the number of mixed cell lines.
- Intervention effect Repeated liquid suspension and subculture increased the number of embryogenic cell lines with sustained proliferation.
- Intervention effect Maltose in place of sucrose in the proliferation medium improved fresh mass gain.
- Intervention effect Maltose in place of sucrose in the proliferation medium consistently increased early somatic embryo patterning and growth.
- Observation Proliferating cell lines were successfully cryopreserved and thawed.
- Observation Somatic embryos from cryopreserved cell lines were matured and germinated.
