Growth and embryo formation in wild-carrot suspension cultures with ammonium ion as a sole nitrogen source

  • Published:
In Vitro Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Wild-carrot (Daucus carota L.) suspension cultures grew and produced embryos on ammonium ion as a sole source of nitrogen in the absence of any exogenous Kreb's cycle acid when the pH of the medium was controlled by continuous titration with KOH or KHCO3.
