Importance of embryology in agriculture
Knowledge of embryology is essential to be a skilled worker for hybridization for improving crop plants
Development of crop variety through molecular technique requires knowledge on plant embryology
Crop variety through anther culture technique
Crop improvement through somatic embryogenesis
Formation of sterile and fertile grains
Apomixis, poly embryonic and parthenogenesis are very important avenues in plant embryology
