significantly increased by the number of responding ovary slices
(Table 3). However, AgNO3 shortened the time of embryo sprouting
out of the ovary slices and increased the embryo yields. The first
globular embryo appeared after 4–5 days with AgNO3 compared to
7–8 days without AgNO3 in the induction medium. There had four
to five embryos were recorded for every ovary slices with AgNO3,
while only two to three embryos were observed in the control
treatment. The addition of AgNO3 to the induction medium
resulted in embryos that were green and vigorous
