The results of the study showed that the frequency of responding embryo was significantly influenced by the genotypes and dicamba concentrations. Callus induction rate, callus weight per petri dish were significantly affected by the genotypes. Depending on the genotypes, callus induction rate, callus weight mg/petri dish varied from 16.7 %-85.4 %, 29.1-261.9 respectively.
Callus induction rate and callus weight were also significantly influenced by the dicamba concentrations. The cultured embryos on the LS medium containing 5 mg-l of dicamba gave the highest values of callus induction rate (63.1 %) and also callus weight (155.1 mg/petri dish).
