Somatic embyogenesis

Somatic embyogenesis

STRENGTH IN NATURE

The birth of a true titan.

From the best mother plants without genetic modification.

SUPPORTING FORESTRY WITH CLONES

Over the last few years we have built up a large "clone collection" from the best cross-breeding combinations. The NON-GMO tree embryos are in liquid nitrogen and can be stored and preserved for a long time. If necessary, they can be thawed and put together in mixtures that suit the location and environmental situation in order to complement the natural range of species.

Many clones (in combination with seed-grown plants) result in a number of advantages:

Special trees are preserved

Crossings do not need to be repeated

Dependence on seeds is reduced

Biodiversity can increase

Vegetative propagation via

Somatic embyogenesis

From a single tree to a clone mixture using the example of the Titan Larch.

Source material

Controlled crossings of approved family parents (selection of plus trees)

Harvesting unripe cones

Immature cones contain a higher concentration of embryonic tissue.

Induction of somatic embryos

Mass propagation: the embryos are isolated and cultured in vitro. in-vitro kultiviert.

Maturation/ cryopreservation

The further development of somatic embryos is similar to that of gothic embryos from seeds. Mature embryos can germinate.

Conversion to seedling

After about 13 weeks: Somatic seedlings can be grown in the greenhouse and then planted out in the forest.

Acclimatization

Acclimatization and transfer from the controlled environment to the earth outdoors.
