A proliferating embryonal-suspensor mass (ESM) was initiated from immature embryos of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiii (Mirb.) Franco), 4-5 weeks after fertilization, on modified MS medium with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), kinetin, and N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). ESMs were maintained for over 6 months as cell suspension cultures on modified DCR media with low 2,4-D and with kinetin and BAP. The development of individual somatic embryos was initiated in suspension culture by the gradual reduction of plant growth regulators and by addition of abscisic acid. The early stages of zygotic embryogenesis in Douglas-fir are unique among conifers and cleavage polyembryogenesis is unknown. In somatic embryogenesis, characteristic stages of zygotic embryonic development were recapitulated and complete embryos were recovered by inhibiting cleavage polyembryony with abscisic acid and culturing individual embryos without growth regulators. Histological examination confirmed bipolar organization of somatic embryos. While conversion is low, plantlets with multiple cotyledons have been transferred to soil and continue to grow with production of a new shoot.
