More than 65% of ovules were just enlarged without undergoing callus or shoot phase independent of the sucrose concentration. Rest of the ovules was either with no development or dead after 8 weeks of culture period. The effect of sucrose concentration on ovule response was not pronounced (Table 18). When comparing the suitability of sucrose concentrations (2% or 4%, 4% 0r 6%, 2% or 6%) for ovule culture depending on the genotype, there is no significant difference for both genotypes on whatever the sucrose concentrations used (Table 19). No callus or shoots were obtained in this experiment.
