Table 3.
Percentage and type of response in the three eggplant genotypes tested for the two protocols (E6 and Cb) and the three anther ranges selected. The response percentage (±SE) is presented. The type of response has been differentiated depending on whether it was an embryogenic or a callogenic response.
