Detailed explanation-1: -During the induction of somatic embryogenesis, there are different factors involved in the success or failure of the somatic embryogenesis response. Among these factors, the origin of the explant, the culture medium and the in vitro environmental conditions have been the most studied.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of somatic embryogenesis involves four key steps which are, induction, maintenance, development, and regeneration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hormonal Control of Somatic Embryogenesis Auxins are known to play essential roles in all the aspects related to plant development, from cellular division to elongation, through cell identity and organogenesis [27, 28].

Detailed explanation-4: -Somatic embryogenesis is a developmental process where a plant somatic cell can dedifferentiate to a totipotent embryonic stem cell that has the ability to give rise to an embryo under appropriate conditions. This new embryo can further develop into a whole plant.
