calli
- Anther-derived calli showed development of embryogenic masses upon transfer to starvation media (MS salts); however, the embryos did not develop further and could not germinate.
- induce calli
- derived calli
- treatment enhancing calli
Examples
-
The calli showed development of embryogenic masses on starvation media (MS media) after 3 weeks of culture on the surface of the calli; however, no further embryo development could be induced after 8-10 weeks of subcultures.
Academic text (2015) -
In plant tissue culture, researchers often evaluate the growth of calli to assess their potential for embryogenesis.

The induced calli were subcultured to MSO and starvation media to induce embryogenesis.

Similar effects of cold treatment enhancing calli induction are reported in oilseed rape and broccoli (Gu et al., 2004; Yuan et al., 2011).

Hence, the current study was initiated to explore anthers of cultivar Faisalabad long for their genotypic potential to develop embryogenic calli on different media and culture conditions.

Academic text (2015) -
The calli, when transferred to starvation media, showed embryogenic masses that did not regenerate into plants and developed non-functional zygote-like shoot apical meristem (SAM).
Academic text (2015) -
Thirty anthers were cultured per treatment, and the calli induced were sub-cultured to MSO (control) and starvation media (MS salts) for regeneration.

The scientist observed that the calli developed differently when transferred to various nutrient media during the experiment.
Synonyms
A small hard thick part on a flower, for example the stiff bump on an orchid lip
Surface Forms
Morphology
calli = callus (semi-transparent) = callus + i
The form is the Latin plural of 'callus' (-us → -i); the relation to 'callus' is clear to those familiar with Latin plurals but is not a productive English plural pattern for average learners.
Etymology
Calli is the plural form of callus and comes from Latin callus, meaning 'hard skin' or 'lump'. In plant science these 'calli' are lumps of new cells that grow at a wound or in a dish, which is why scientists use that name.
