In text citations
Regeneration has been achieved from mature cotyledons of apricot (Lane 1986).
This result was later confirmed by Jones and Yan (1996).
This species had low frequencies of regeneration (Grant 1991; Tang et al. 2002; Bhagwat and Lane 2004).
Similar findings were reported by Jones et al. (1996).

Tables
Tables should be numbered using Arabic numerals in the sequence they occur.
Font size of table data should be sufficiently large to be readable.

If you use any previously published material, identify it by referring to original source at the end of the table caption.
If necessary, footnotes to tables should be given at the bottom of the table by superscript lower-case letters
(or asterisks for significance values and statistical data).

Figures
Figures should be numbered using Arabic numerals in the sequence they occur.
For each figure, please supply a brief and self-explanatory legend.

Figures have to be placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
