After 5 weeks of culture, asexual embryos appeared in many treatments. In SH medium supplemented with 5 mg/L NAA, embryos appeared earliest and most, in ½MS medium, embryos appeared slowly and less. Structural differentiation during embryogenesis from NGBCC leaf fragments began from the spherical embryo form, appearing about 32 - 35 NSCs, pale yellow in color (Figure 3.1A), the heart-shaped embryo stage was green, appearing about 10 days later, this is a sign of pre-two cotyledons, a typical form of embryogenesis in dicotyledons (Figure 3.1C). The torpedo embryo form (Figure 3.1D) continued to develop to the stage with two cotyledons about 15 - 20 days later (Figure 3.1E,F,G,H). Embryos developed directly
