Table 3. Number of usable F.×ananassa meristems suitable for transformation after 4 weeks of cultivation in liquid medium.

Culture medium condition (MS medium)	Rate of multiplication (%)	Number of meristems/explant (mean±SD)	Number of usable meristems/explant (mean±SD)	Remarks
MS	0	1.27±0.44	1.27±0.44	No multiplication
Half-strength MS+0.05 mg l−1 BAP	0	1.33±0.47	1.33±0.47	No multiplication
2 mg l−1 BAP+0.5 mg l−1 KIN	100	15.12±3.14	11.13±2.09	Developed meristem and leaf primordium structure
2 mg l−1 BAP+0.5 mg l−1 KIN+2.5 mg l−1 GA3	100	56.6±8.22	13.13±3.66	Immature meristem and leaf primordium structure

Data were collected after 4 weeks of cultivation in liquid medium. Mature meristems were considered to be usable meristems.
