In vitro culture initiation and multiplication<br />
Table 5.1: Effect <strong>of</strong> kinetin and 2,4-D on excised embryos <strong>of</strong> Romulea sabulosa. Mean values in a column followed by different letters that indicates<br />
significance differences between treatments according to Duncan’s multiple range test (P 0.05). S = swelling <strong>of</strong> embryo; SR = swelling <strong>of</strong> embryo<br />
with rooting; SSI = swelling <strong>of</strong> embryo with shoot initials; SRF = shoot and root formation; SC = shoot cluster; SCR = shoot cluster with roots;<br />
CSCI = callus with shoot cluster initials; CIS = corm-like structure (< 10 mm); CAI = callus appearing incompetent; CPE = callus with potential<br />
embryogenesis; PDE = potential direct embryogenesis; CSGR = cultures showed growth response. Potential embryogenesis refers to cultures that<br />
appeared to develop embryo-like structures (Figure 5.7).<br />
