formation were recorded on quotient of the number of ovaries
responding and the total number of treated ovaries slices; the
embryo yield was counted by the number of embryos sprouting of
every ovary sliced and embryo sprouting period was recorded on
the day of the first visual structures sprouted from ovary slices
after inoculation dates were analyzed by ANOVA, statistical
significances were assayed by Duncan’s multi-range test at
p = 0.05. Proportion values were transformed with arcsine
transformation before they were used in the statistical analysis.
