人工种子是美国植物遗传公司开发研究成功的。当时叫“合成种子”(Synthetic Seed),又叫“植物种子类似物”(Analogs of Botaniealseed)。它是组织培养技术和种子包衣技术结合发展的结果。所谓人工种子,就是用组织培养方法,培养能发育成完整植株的分生组织,并用适当方法把它保护起来,代替植物种子进行流通的物质。天然种子是由胚、胚乳、种皮等构成的,其中最重要的是胚中的顶端分生组织,它具有形成新的完整植株的能力;种皮、胚乳等只不过是保护这种分生组织的物质。现在人 Artificial seeds were developed and researched successfully by American plant genetics company. At that time, it was called “Synthetic Seed”, also called “Analogs of Botaniealseed.” It is the result of a combination of tissue culture technology and seed coating technology. The so-called artificial seeds, is the method of tissue culture, cultivation can develop into a complete plant meristem, and use appropriate methods to protect it, instead of plant seeds for circulation of substances. The natural seed consists of embryos, endosperm, seed coat, etc. The most important of these is the apical meristem in the embryo, which has the ability to form new intact plants; the seed coat, endosperm, etc. are nothing more than protection of this meristematic Organized material.
