Abstract
Pinus oocarpa var. oocarpa Schiede (Pinophyta, Pinales, Pinaceae subgenus Pinus) is an economically-important conifer of Mexico and Central America. Clonal propagation methods are required to capture the genetic gains obtained through traditional breeding, for the rapid production of elite stock, as well for the introduction of desirable genes via genetic engineering technologies. However, little attention has been paid to the development of tissue culture protocols for P. oocarpa. Here, we outline the clonal propagation process via somatic embryogenesis for this species.
