    Shoot apex explants for induction of somatic embryogenesis in mature Quercus robur L. trees

    A procedure for inducing somatic embryos in shoot apex explants (2 mm) excised from shoot proliferation cultures established from adult oak trees (Quercus robur) was investigated. Embryogenesis was induced in sho...
