In calli from distal and proximal cotyledon segments and from radicles of mature wild olive zygotic embryos, rhizogenesis prevailed during the first and somatic embryogenesis during the second 30 day subculture period. Rhizogenesis was enhanced by low IBA (0.5 and 2.5/xM) and 5.0/zM 2iP. By reducing by half the media salt concentrations and by inserting a 21 day dark period rhizogenesis was also enhanced. Somatic embryogenesis was inhibited by both 2iP and IBA at concentrations higher than 5.0/~M, but was not influenced by lower salt concentrations or by inserting the dark period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
