β¦ Synopsis
Embryonal-suspensor mass lines (ESM lines) from mature embryos of three open-pollinated families of Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] were stabilized on several culture media varying in nutrient composition. A pattern of relationship between parameters of polyembryogenic culture performance and medium composition was genetically determined. Stabilized ESM lines could be classified into two phenovariants: (i) lines of homogenous ESM composed entirely of somatic proembryos, and (ii) lines of heterogeneous ESM composed of a mixture of nonembryogenic callus and aggregates of somatic proembryos. The formation of one or the other phenovariant was independent of genotype, but strongly determined by the medium composition.

Embryogenic cultures were initiated from mature zygotic embryos of Picea abies. The somatic embryos in the embryogenic cultures were first stimulated to mature and then either to develop further into plantlets or to differentiate new embryogenic cultures. The procedure was repeated three times durin
