Abstract
A process to assist in germination of spruce somatic embryos. The embryos are desiccated at humidity, preferably in the range of 85 to 99%. A process that differentiates somatic embryos of conifer comprises contacting embryogenic calli with a medium containing abscisic acid. A process for determining the quality of a plant to embryo is also described. That process comprises identifying the storage protein content of the embryo and comparing that content with the storage protein content of mature embryos of the same species.
