  1. aUnits for total cultured and total success were the total number of zygotic embryos cultured and the number of embryos with established embryogenic tissues for initiation, weight (g) of embryogenic tissues before and after the liquid culture period for proliferation, the number of total matured and the number of normally matured embryos for maturation, the number of total matured embryos planted and the number of emblings developed for germination, the number of emblings planted, and the number of emblings that successfully developed for acclimation, respectively.
