The plant material corresponded to somatic embryoderived
plants (somatic seedlings) of C. arabica var.
Caturra regenerated from three independent embryogenic
cell lines (A, B and C) established with distinct embryogenic
calli. Somatic seedlings were regenerated after three
different culture periods, i.e. 4, 11 and 27 months from the
establishment of the embryogenic cell line (Fig. 1).
