Development of bulblets in single embryo, a cluster of five embryos, and single embryo with cotyledonary leaf (3–6 cm long) in Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don.

Type of Somatic Embryo (SE) *	Percentage of Response (%)	Av No. of Bulblets/SE
Single embryo	90.0 ± 10.0 a **	4.7 ± 1.3 a **
Cluster of five embryos	86.7 ± 12.0 a	3.3 ± 1.5 ab
Embryo with the cotyledonary leaf	43.6 ± 29.0 b	1.1 ± 0.7 b

* Culture medium MSBM supplemented with 2% sucrose, 0.4% GPP. Observations recorded after three months of incubation. ** Mean ± standard error. Means within each column followed by the same letter(s) are not significantly different at 5% level by Fisher’s protected LSD test.
