Treating explanrs of Castle Rock and Super Strain B cultivars with 20% of CF showed highly toxic effect as they decreased the mean fresh weight of their developed calli to 38 and 35%, respectively. Moreover, treating explants ofCastle Rock and Super Strain B cultivars with 15% of CF decreased the percentage of explants producing shoots to 20.5 and 21.7%, respectively. 110wever UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2005/ARJSU/505/0/77.pdf ER -
