Abstract

Embryo development in cultured wild carrot tissue was studied by considering the relationship between DNA biosynthesis and embryo morphogenesis. Autoradiographic data of3H-thymirdine incorporation indicated a higherpercentage of cells undergoing DNA synthesis in adventive embryos than in proembryonic masses. A definite pattern of DNA synthesis was observed during the transition from a proembryonic mass to the torpedo stage of embryogenesis. In particular the labeling pattern for both the heart and torpedo stages was found to be coincident with specific morphogenetic events.
