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.

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 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) -
The researchers observed that the embryogenic cells were able to form new embryos under specific conditions.
-
The study focused on embryogenic processes to enhance the efficiency of plant regeneration in laboratory conditions.

Embryogenic comes from embryo, meaning 'young one', and the part -genic, meaning 'producing', like in genetic or generate. So, embryogenic describes something that can 'produce' or form embryos.
