Here's how it works. Pick the very best plant based on the genetic traits that you find desirable. Wait for seed to be produced. Harvest the seed.

With additional efforts in tree improvement and breeding, this simple technique remains the predominant approach for producing seed in seed orchards today.

And while this approach is effective in producing relatively large volumes of seeds, each of the resulting seed is different from the next. That's because traditional methods rely on sexual reproduction, and sexual reproduction allows for something called genetic recombination, or genetic variability. The end result is your valuable crop of trees varies widely from tree to tree, and varies significantly from your ideal tree.

This is where Somatic embryogenesis 

A process of initiation and development of somatic embryos in vitro from somatic cells and tissues.

provides a far better solution.

Similar to techniques used in horticulture and other seed industries today, CellFor's technology eliminates genetic recombination, and produces large volumes of seeds that are genetically identical to the ideal original seeds you selected.

For foresters, the result is a far more uniform tree, along with all of the valuable genetic characteristics you selected that seed for in the first place. In a nutshell, that translates into superior productivity, higher yields, reduced costs, and higher profits.

That's the power of somatic embryogenesis.
