Synthetic Seed – Future Prospects in Crop Improvement
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Ripened ovule containing embryo has the capability to regenerate is called seed, the vehicle that connects plant kingdom from one generation to another. Syn seeds are defined as artificially encapsulated somatic embryos, shoot buds, cell aggregates, or any other tissue that can be used for sowing as a seed and that possess the ability to convert into a plant under in vitro or ex vitro conditions and that retain this potential also after storage. Artificial seed production technique is method for mass propagation of promising plant genotypes and also alternate technology of propagation in many commercially important crops. The production of plant clones multiplied by tissue culture and distributed as artificial seeds could compensate the costly F1 hybrids for different plant crops. The delivery of artificial seeds facilitates scaling up in vitro cultures and acclimatization to ex vitro conditions. The development of an artificial seed technique provides a great approach for the improvement of various plant species such as trees and recalcitrant seed crops. The principle limitation for commercialization has been the somatic embryogenesis. Research on encapsulation of propagules should be taken up. This review paper dealt with concept, types of syn seed, methods of production and its application in crop improvement
