Table 1. Hyperosmotic stress-induced somatic embryogenesis.
Plant species | Stress treatment (weeks) | Somatic embryo formation (%) | |
---|---|---|---|
Japanese honewort | 3 | 14±3 | * |
6 | 39±9 | ||
Carrot | 3 | 28±5 | |
6 | 35±10 |
Rates of somatic embryo formation are expressed as the means of four individual experiments±standard error. Significant differences were evaluated using Welch’s t-test (* p<0.05).
