Table 2 Effects of different type of gelling agents on the production of number of leaves, roots, SSE, and callus in oil palm polyembryoids after 60 days of culture

From: Effects of some gelling agents and their concentrations on conversion of oil palm polyembryoids into plantlets

Gelling agent	Concentration (g/l)	No. of leaves	No. of roots	No. of SSE	No. of callus
Gelrite®	1.5	10.6c	2.7 cd	4.3a	0.0d
	2.5	13.0b	8.0a	0.0c	0.7c
	3.5	13.7a	5.3b	0.0c	1.7b
Agar Type 900	8	8.3d	2.3d	1.0b	1.3bc
	10	12.3bc	5.3b	2.6ab	2.0a
	12	10.0 cd	3.0c	0.0c	0.3 cd

Values in the same column having the different letters are significantly different at P ≤ 0.05 based on Duncan Multiple Range Test [9]
