Organogenesis of cabbage in in vitro cultures: A – shoot induction from cut ends of treated hypocotyl on shoot induction medium in control (bar = 0.5 cm); B – shoot induction from trifluralin treated callus on shoot induction medium (bar = 0.5 cm); C – green dormant callus from treated calli on shoot induction medium (bar = 0.5 cm); D – germinating seeds treated with trifluralin after seven days on seed germination medium (bar = 1 cm); E – growing calli from treated hypocotyls after 14 days on shoot induction medium (bar = 0.5 cm); F – rooted shootlets derived from treated seeds
