The effect of multiplication cycles on somatic embryo
induction potential was also studied. Explants were harvested
every second interval from the 6th to the 18th multiplication
cycle and inoculated in MS medium with 4.14 μM picloram
and 0.22 μM BA. The results showed that the somatic embryo
induction potential of the explants did not decrease with an
increase in multiplication cycles (Table 5), and the number of
somatic embryos formed per explant did not reduce significantly
