The ovary contained three ovule primordia months before flowering (BF). one mono-nucleate megaspore at center degenerated megaspores on chalazal side two BF, a e...

Cotyledonary segments from the germinated immature zygotic embryos were used for somatic embryogenesis of red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus). The explants established on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 5% sucrose combination 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), α-Naphthaleneacetic acid. All treatments responded to callus induction with a 36–97% freq...
