From: In vitro somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration from immature male inflorescence of adult dura and tenera palms of Elaeis guineensis (Jacq.)

 

T1

T2

Callus induction (%)

71.74 (3.59)*

41.7 (1.84)*

Embryogenesis (%)

  1. The values are means of three replications (i.e. three inflorescence from the same palm). The figures in parenthesis are standard error means and * indicates that they are significantly different. The number of tubes used in each replication was 50–100.
