RELATION BETWEEN THE SHAPE OF CARROT SOMATIC EMBRYOS AND THEIR QUALITY PLANT REGENERATION

Mechanization is one of the current moving directions of somatic embryogenesis, which flashes the options to the problems such as culture asynchrony which couldn't successfully be answered through conventional pathways. The application of artificial vision which demands for the detailed knowledge of external morphology of somatic embryo is a currently developing field in somatic embryogenesis. Present study was made to pursue elaborative understanding on somatic embryo morphology. A pool of somatic embryo morphologies was developed manipulating the sucrose concentration of the culture media and the population density of the embryo culture. Then their consequences at seedling-quality plant regeneration were discussed.
