Synthetic Seed

Abstract

Synthetic seeds are somatic embryos coated with special substances containing preservative compounds. Synthetic seed production has been useful for plants that cannot produce viable seeds. Plant formation from synthetic seed was first made by removing water from the somatic embryo obtained from tissue culture. Sodium alginate or alginic acid matrices are commonly used for somatic embryo coating. Many advantages such as easy plant propagation, long-term storage, perpetuation of endangered plants and low cost production show the significant usability of synthetic seed for the development of plants. Synthetic seed technology is a very important technique that can be used in the production of plants that cannot be reproduced by seed. This review article was written to bring together the information and studies on synthetic seed.

Sentetik Tohum

Abstract

Sentetik tohum, besin maddesi ve koruyucu bileşikler içeren özel maddelerle kaplanmış somatik embriyolardır. Sentetik tohum üretimi, canlı tohum üretemeyen bitkiler için elverişlidir. Sentetik tohumdan bitki elde edilmesi, ilk kez doku kültüründen elde edilen somatik embriyodan suyun uzaklaştırılması yoluyla yapılmıştır. Somatik embriyo kaplanmasında sodyum alginat veya alginik asit matriksleri çok yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bitki çoğaltımının kolay olması, uzun süre saklanabilmesi, nesli tükenmekte olan bitkilerin neslinin devam ettirilmesi ve üretimlerinin düşük maliyetle yapılabilmesi gibi birçok avantaj sentetik tohumun bitkilerin gelişimi için önemli ölçüde kullanılabilirliğini göstermektedir. Sentetik tohum teknolojisi tohumla çoğaltım imkanı bulunmayan bitkilerin üretiminde de kullanılabilecek çok önemli bir tekniktir. Bu derleme makale, sentetik tohum konusundaki ortaya koyulmuş bilgileri ve yapılmış çalışmaları bir araya getirmek amacıyla yazılmıştır.
