Summary: The in vitro culture of zygotic embryos can be a useful tool to reduce the germination time and provide higher rates of embryos developed into plants (Lima 2013), as the in vitro culture allows the removal of physical barriers such as hard endocarp and facilitates the supply of nutrients to the developing embryo (Pádua et al. 2014). In vitro germination can overcome this problem by embryo rescue. In this study we optimized the in vitro germination of zygotic embryos of BRS Manicoré hybrid palm comparing various culture media and various seed lots.
