Different environmental conditions at initiation of radiata pine somatic embryogenesis determine the protein profile of somatic embryos

Somatic embryogenesis is an important biotechnological tool in breeding and conservation programmes for woody species. It exists an increasing interest in the improvement of somatic embryogenesis induction in commercial species such as Pinus radiata. One approach to obtain markers of successful somatic embryogenesis can be the study of protein profiling in a descriptive study.In order to accomplish this objective, 2-D and MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS...
