Abstract | ||||
This study was conducted through 1996-1999 years in the Department of Pomology, Faculty of Agriculture, Alexandria University. This work involved induction of somatic embryogenesis, from the salt-tolerant callus and subsequently, production of salt- tolerant plants of sour orange. The main results can be summarized in the following points: 1- The MT (1969) medium containing 1500mgl-1 malt extract exhibited significantly embryogenesis percentage (60.00 %) higher than that obtained from the other tested media. The MT (1969) medium was generally more effective than MS (1962) medium in inducing somatic embryogenesis from salt-tolerant callus of sour orange. 2-The percentage of fully grown embryoids was significantly the highest (33.33%) on the MT (1969) medium containing 1mgl-1 GA3. | ||||
