It was found that media containing thidiazuron (TDZ) either at 0.1, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/L alone or in combinations with 0.1 mg/L naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or 1.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) provided no significant differences in percentage of somatic embryogenesis (38.18-49%) from PLBs. Half strength MS supplemented with TDZ either at 1 and 3 mg/L alone or combination with 0.1 mg/L NAA provided higher percentage of somatic embryo formation and number of somatic embryo per explant more than supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA alone. Low percentage of somatic embryogenesis was found from leaf segments.
