Click here to see an Animation of Embryogenesis Somatic Embryonic Cell Zygotic Embyro Embryogenesis is the process of initiation and development of an embryo from a zygote (zygotic embryogenesis) or a somatic cell (somatic embryogenesis). Embryo development occurs through an exceptionally organized sequence of cell division, enlargement and differentiation. Zygotic and somatic embryos share the same gross pattern of development. Both types of embryos develop as passing through typical developmental stages, such as globular, scutellar and coleoptilar stages for monocots, or globular, heart, torpedo and cotyledonary stages for dicots and conifers. Embryo development is bipolar, having a shoot and a radicular pole at opposite ends.
