Abstract: Despite a considerable amount of studies on establishment of endosperm callus originated from mature seeds1,4,9), relatively little attention has been directed to a role of carbon source in the initial medium on which the seeds were placed for germination.In a previous paper 6 ), it has revealed that endosperm tissues of parsley seed sloughed off from embryo axis during germination were readily capable of inducing callus formation if the seeds were germinated on nutrient medium.The fact prompts us to further evaluate physiological significance of sugar availability in the initial germination medium as related to the callus induction of parsley endosperm tissues.
