How synthetic seeds are developed?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Artificial seeds or synthetic seeds (synseeds) are produced by using embryoids (somatic embryos) obtained through in vitro culture. They may even be derived from single cells from any part of the plant that later divide to form cell mass containing dense cytoplasm, large nucleus, starch grains, proteins, and oils, etc. To prepare the artifical seeds different inert materials are used for coating the somatic embryoids like agrose and sodium alginate.
