“…Explants obtained from in vitro plants formed more embryogenic callus than explants obtained from field-grown plants. Some authors have reported the production of embryogenic and non-embryogenic calluses from young rolled leaves of in vitro and field-grown cultured sugarcane plants (Ho and Vasil, 1983;Chen and Luthe, 1987;Chen et al, 1988;Guiderdoni and Demarly, 1988;Taylor et al, 1992;Brisibe et al, 1994;Falco et al, 1996;Oropeza and Garcõ Âa, 1996), but no one has compared the callus production between these two types of explants. It has been reported that the degree of embryogenic callus formation varied depending on the cultivar, concentration of 2,4-D tested (Taylor et al, 1992) and on the developmental stage of the leaf (Guiderdony and Demarly, 1988).…”
