“…In vitro culture response is mediated mainly by genotype (Bergmann and Stomp, 1994) and explant physiological state (Bonga, 1981). There are studies that show that different genotypes of the same species respond differently to the culture medium (Pinus contorta, von Arnold and Eriksson, 1981; P. populus, P. radiata and Picea abies, Bergmann and Stomp, 1994;Pinus caribaea, Go et al, 1993;mango, Litz et al, 1998). To evaluate such an effect using the best conditions for adventitious bud induction (SH medium 23 mM K cultured for 30 d and later subcultured to SH 50 medium) found in our previous experiments, we worked with immature seeds from four localities.…”
