Abstract
Whole scutella are isolated from immature zygotic embryos of cereal plants and cultured, in the absence of the zygotic embryo axis, to produce somatic embryos, which in turn are converted into plantlets. The scutellar cells optionally are transformed with foreign DNA so that at least some of the resulting plantlets are transgenic. The regeneration is much more efficient and rapid than with conventional methods.
