Embryogenic callus was induced by culturing endosperm tissues of germinating parsley seeds on Murashige‐Skoog's basal medium without any exogenous supply of growth substances. No deterioration of the embryogenic potential of this callus strain was observed on this medium for more than half a year through several passages. The endosperm callus consisted of approximately triploid cells, but diploid ones predominated in the embryos originated from this callus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
