somatic embryo

somatic embryo
An organized embryo-like structure. Although morphologically similar to a zygotic embryo it is initiated from somatic plant cells. Under in vitro conditions, somatic embryos go through developmental processes similar to embryos of zygotic origin. Each somatic embryo is potentially capable of developing into a normal plantlet.
