This is a publication on somatic embryogenesis of coconut. Somatic embryogenesis is a fascinating natural phenomenon where the embryo is formed from a single vegetative (somatic) cell instead of gametic fusion. Under specific conditions this process can occur in vitro and it can be used for cloning purposes. Coconut cloning or micropropagation has been explored for 40+ years with little success, as coconut is very recalcitrant to somatic embryogenesis. This book (PhD thesis) represents exciting research on the issue, which achieved more than three times higher overall efficiency than the previous protocol.
