In vitro cotyledonary development and anthocyanin synthesis in zygotic and asexual embryos of Theobroma cacao
Cotyledonary development of asexual embryos of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) in liquid medium on a rotary drum apparatus was similar to that of zygotic embryos in vivo. Immature zygotic and asexual embryos synthesized anthocyanins, characteristics of the developing zygotic embryo in vivo, when cultured in vitro in liquid or on semisolid media containing high concentration of sucrose.
