Abstract
Synseed technology is a growing trend in innovative and sustainable agriculture applications. It provides a promising method based on encapsulation of embryonic (somatic embryos) or non-embryonic tissues (i.e., shoot tips, shoot buds, microshoots, nodal segments, protocorms, etc.) in a gel-like matrix for the massive plant production. This approach can be generalized for the commercial production when the techniques minimize the production costs of elite plant genotypes in case of conservation and delivery. For the last 20 years, plant tissue culture researchers have focused on practical implementations of synseed technology which are yet to be solved such as preference of chemical composition for encapsulation, sowing and subsequent regrowth efficiency, and optimization of storage conditions prior to the plant material transportation. This chapter focuses on the basics of synseed production underlying the practical applications, its achievements, and limitations, which might provide a new insight for the farmers of the twenty-first century.
