Yes, the dormancy still persists even in the embryos, but I must thank you for bringing up this question.

Why? Because in making the more robust embryo rescue medium I was planning to use only kinetin, but now will also make some of the medium including both kinetin and ethrel to see if the synergism applies to embryos as well. This will highlight any advantages of having both chemicals in the medium versus only one.

Great input!
