  1. Frequencies of homogeneous and heterogeneous calli and suspension cultures derived from these calli in primary lines obtained after transformation, and in secondary lines produced by cloning of primary heterogeneous (!) suspensions. Values represent means ± SD (n = 3); data are from three independent transformations; in every replication the number of evaluated lines was 60–80 for calli and ~20 for suspensions).
