N2 - The main focus of the research on somatic embryogenesis in nordmanns firhas until recently been on improving the basic protocols in each step of the process.However, with recent developments, one single set of methods has shown to beeffective for production of plants from more than 500 different untested cell lines.The developed method ensured a very good selection of genotypes at any of theinvolved steps: initiation, proliferation, cryo preservation, maturation, germination,and nursery culture. Growth and development of clonally propagated plants in thefield were similar to those of seed produced plants. For this reason the focus ischanging towards improvement of protocols for cost effective large scaleproduction in a commercial set up. The first elite clones have been identified froma small preliminary clonal field trial from 2007, and larger clonal field trials havebeen established in 2014 and 2015 with 9000 plants from 400 clones.
