Sensitivity of rice calli to selection agent G418, Paramomycin and in combination on RCM6 Medium
| Antibiotic Concentration (mg l−1) | Average percentage of survived embryonic callus | Arcsine transformed percentage ± SE | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Treatment 2 | 50.0 | 0.0 | 20.0 | 26.5 ± 1.6d |
| Treatment 3 | 75.0 | 0.0 | 9.3 | 17.7 ± 1.2bc |
| Treatment 4 | 100.0 | 0.0 | 1.3 | 3.8 ± 3.8a |
| Treatment 5 | 0.0 | 80.0 | 14.6 | 22.4 ± 2.1cd |

| Treatment 10 | 40.0 | 60.0 | 1.3 | 3.8 ± 3.8a |
All these data were resulted from three replicates with 25 calli per replication; data are presented after arcsine transformations as avg. means ± standard error followed by the same letter are not significantly different from each other (LSD > 0.05)
