Plant production by somatic embryogenesis from genotypes selected for agronomic traits in Ivory Coast and Ecuador
The use of clonal varieties becomes more and more important for cocoa breeding and culture. Several vegetative propagation techniques are available: cutting, grafting and somatic embryogenesis, each one with specific advantages and disadvantages. The aim of Firclone project is to compare the clonal production by these three methods and the performance of these plants in the field.
