Figure 2. In vitro culture of oil palm immature embryo (IE) leading to plant regeneration via callus stage.
a) Freshly extracted IE on callusing media (N₆2.5 or N₆FET).
b) An IE undergoing expansion after 3 days on callusing media (N₆FET).
c-d) Callusing IE after 4 weeks on callusing media (N₆2.5).
e-g) Somatic embryos developing on embryogenic callus derived from IE after 8 weeks on N₆FET.
h-i) Distinct torpedo-shaped somatic embryos developing from embryogenic callus following transfer onto N₆O.
j) Plantlet obtained from germinated somatic embryos on N₆O.
