Table 2.
The effect of light distance on the regeneration of shoots. Cultures were maintained at 25 ± 1°C with 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark, with 1000 lux intensity of light for 4 weeks.
| Light distance (mm) | Height of shoot, mm (mean ± SE) | Observations |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0 (control) | 0 | Yellow shoots became dried and turned brown |
| 50 | 9.12 ± 0.51 | Yellow shoots turned green |
| 100 | 10.67 ± 0.09 | Yellow shoots turned green |
| 150 | 13.10 ± 1.01 | Yellow shoots turned to green |
| 200 | 16.67 ± 0.23 | Yellow shoots elongated |
| 250 | 9.13 ± 0.50 | Yellow shoots elongated |
| 300 | 6.33 ± 0.18 | Yellow shoots turned brown |
Each value represents the mean of thirty replicates. Mean ± standard error (SE), replicates (n = 30).
