alkionviljelystä
Alkionviljely, or embryo culture, is a technique used in plant breeding and horticulture to rescue embryos that may not survive on their own. This can occur when there is a genetic incompatibility between the parent plants, leading to premature embryo abortion. By excising the developing embryo at an early stage and providing it with a sterile nutrient medium in a laboratory setting, it can be given the opportunity to grow into a complete plant.
The process typically involves carefully removing the ovule from a fertilized flower and then dissecting out
Alkionviljely is particularly valuable in interspecific or intergeneric crosses, where hybridization is difficult or impossible through
