Induction of somatic embryogenesis from peach palm zygotic embryos. (A) Mature zygotic embryo of peach palm used as explant. (B) Initial development of globular structures resembling somatic embryos on the callus (arrows) after 4–6 weeks of culture. (C) Further development of globular somatic embryos (arrows) where somatic embryos had previously developed. (D) Development of a cluster of somatic embryos (arrows) on the callus after 6 weeks of culture. Scale bars: (A) = 1 mm, (B) = 3 mm, (C, D) = 2 mm.
