“…In this study, the adventitious shoot development occurred more frequently from epicotyl-derived explants, with more than 50% of responsive explants and more than four shoots developed per responsive explant ( Table 1), regardless of the cultivar. Similar results have been reported for Volkamer lemon, sour orange, and Rangpur lime species, showing a higher number of responsive explants when epicotylderived explants were used, comparing with internodal or hypocotyl-derived explants (TAVANO et al, 2009;SORIANO et al, 2012).…”
