Response of Embryogenic Callus of Theobroma cacao 1. to Gibberellic Acid and Inhibitors of Gibberellic Acid Synthesis
- Z. Pflanzenphysiol., 113, p.359-366, 1984 .
Gibberellic acid at 0.05 to 10 mg .1-1 stimulated asexual embryogenesis from embryogeniccompetent callus of clone BC 5 but not BC 36 of Theobroma cacao. AMO 1618 stimulated embryogenesis at 0.05 to 0.1 mg .1-1 but depressed embryogenesis above 0.1 mg .1-1 for clone BC 5. A similar but smaller effect was observed for BC 36. Daminozide and CCC depressed embryogenesis with both clones.
