Cotyledon sections at day 0 of culture had uniseriate epidermis of rectangular cells and elongated palisade and spongy parenchyma. Within 2 days of culture, several upper epidermal cells had prominent nuclei and dense cytoplasm. Localized divisions were noted in these cells, 4 days after culture initiation. The first division was anticlinal forming two daughter cells after 6 days of culture, the daughter cells underwent several divisional cycles at both anticlinal and
