Initiation of somatic embryogenesis in Pinus banksiana, P. strobus, P. pinaster, and P. sylvestris at three laboratories in Canada and France (2006, unknown): “initiation in conifers is well known (Cheliak and Klimaszewska 1991; Park et al. 1993; Lelu et al. 1999; Niskanen et al. 2004; MacKay et al. 2006).”
Clonal plant production from self- and cross-pollinated seed families of Pinus sylvestris (L.) through somatic embryogenesis (2007, background): “There was a strong maternal effect on initiation of SE that was mostly independent of the paternal effect, a conclusion also reached in another study on Pinus taeda (MacKay et al. 2006).”
Recent Progress in Somatic Embryogenesis of Four Pinus spp. (2007, background): “In the latter species, genetic control of SE initiation and its implications for breeding were studied (MacKay et al. 2006).”
Recalcitrance in clonal propagation, in particular of conifers (2010, background): “Somatic embryogenesis is under strong additive genetic control, and consequently, an increased number of genotypes capable of SE can be made available through breeding (Park et al. 1993; MacKay et al. 2006).”
Plant regeneration in Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) by somatic embryogenesis (2009, background): “Some of the families performed better than others, which suggested an additive genetic control on the initiation of SE in Stone pine, as was reported in other conifers (MacKay et al. 2006; Park et al. 1993).”
