Karst. somatic embryos by means of HPLC. Determinations were performed embryogenic tissue after 4 weeks of the growth on proliferation medium after 2 and 5 weeks of the culturing on maturation medium and 2 weeks after desiccation. Maturation of somatic embryos after 5 weeks was accompanied by increase of concentrations of putrescine times and spermidine times . In comparison with above mentioned polyamines spermine concentrations were significantly lower times . Two weeks after desiccation the concentrations of putrescine decreased times and spermidine times in comparison with mature embryos. To improve the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis of less responsive genotypes the supplementation of growth media by polyamines is discussed.

Moreover it could be usefully utilized for a detailed study of developmental processes accompanying differentiation of embryo and its conversion during polyembryogenesis.
