Data of each trait represents the average values of six wheat genotypes (DBW 88, DBW 90, DBW 93, DPW 621-50, HD 3086 and WH 1105)

The figure followed by same superscript letters are not significantly different according to Tukey’s multiple comparison test at P < 0.01. CI6 gave the optimal callus induction
