Type of plant and developmental stage of explant are very
important in inducing somatic embryo development. The leaf
lobes more than 5-6 mm in length didn’t produce embryogenic
calli. On leaf lobe explants, callus development was initiated at
the petiole region within 5 days of culture on MSCP medium
and doubled in 15 days’ time and somatic embryos started
appearing as globular structures.
