Abstract:
The increased efficiency of embryogenic callus formation and regeneration of plantlets was the result of using immature induced polyembryos of wheat rather than single embryos as primary explants. Plant regeneration was effected via embryogenesis, organogenesis, and a combined process beginning as embryogenesis and proceeding as organogenesis.

After a large-single-celled zygote is produced via fertilization, the process of cleavage occurs while zygotes travel through the uterine tube. Cleavage is a mitotic cell division that does not result in growth. With each round of successive cell division, daughter cells get increasingly smaller.
