LekhoriLekhoriIn the reproductive cycle, the stage after the fertilization of the egg that precedes the development into a fetus.
SE onset depends on a complex network of interactions among plant growth regulators, mainly auxins and cytokinins, during the proembryogenic early stages, and ethylene and gibberellic and abscisic acids later in the development of somatic embryos.
An organism in the earlier stages of development before it emerges from the egg, or before metamorphosis.
In a viviparous animal, the young animal's earliest stages in the mother's body.
Borrowed from Medieval Latin embryō, from Ancient Greek ἔμβρυον (émbruon, “fetus”), from ἐν (en, “in-”) + βρύω (brúō, “I grow, swell”). Possibly related to Hebrew עֻבָּר (“fetus, embryo”) (ʊbar).
