This process yields
totipotent plant cells capable of regenerating plantlets, similar to propagation,
in vitro micropropagation, and synthetic seed production. It leverages
spray drying as a technology for preserving
plant germplasm and as a novel method not currently available. The process begins with somatic cells in suspension and involves inducing friable embryogenic calluses from seeds, leaves, stems, roots, or any
plant explant capable of generating cells in suspension, followed by obtaining the
cell pack. This
cell pack is mixed with encapsulating agents and then spray-dried. Finally, the spray-dried cells are rehydrated and reactivated to continue their morphogenic development, resulting in plantlets capable of acclimatizing to
greenhouse and field environments.
