Abstract
Carbenicillin prevented the development of mature somatic embryos, red uced early stage embryos by >90% and tissue growth by 50%. Cefotaxime had no effect on overall tissue growth, but reduced the development of early and mature embryos by 20% and 66-80%, respectively. Carbenicill in should not be used for transformation of Sitka spruce.
