In vitro coconut embryo culture was first reported by Cutter and Wilson (1954). Subsequent research milestones in coconut tissue culture have generally lagged behind those of other species. This has been due to a number of challenges, including the poor and varied response of different explant tissues, the slow growth of in vitro tissues and poor plant recovery ex vitro (Fernando et al., 2010). Some advances have been achieved with respect to embryo culture, somatic embryogenesis, anther culture, cryopreservation and to a lesser extent genetic transformation (Nguyen et al., 2016).
