Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation An embryogenic suspension culture was established from cultured inflorescence segments of Pennisetum americanum.
- Observation The suspension was composed of two major cell types.
- Intervention effect Manipulating culture duration and dilution ratios at subculture yielded suspensions consisting predominantly of embryogenic cells.
- Intervention effect Transfer to agar media with reduced amounts of 2,4-D produced hundreds of globular and early cotyledonary embryoids.
- Observation Many embryoids germinated and produced normal green plants.
- Observation Atypical embryoids containing many shoot meristems and a leafy scutellum were observed.
- Observation Somatic embryogenesis is suggested to occur in tissue cultures of most, if not all, cereal and grass species.
