Effects of different concentrations of IBA and NAA in root-inducing medium (RIM) on the induction of roots from J. curcas shoots

IBA (mg L⁻¹)	NAA (mg L⁻¹)	Number of tested shoots*	Efficiency of root induction (%)**
0	0	86	5.8 ± 1.3^De
0	0.1	85	32.8 ± 3.9^Cd
0	0.2	88	65.0 ± 3.5^Bb
0.1	0	86	9.2 ± 2.7^De
0.1	0.1	87	58.5 ± 3.4^BCbc
0.1	0.2	87	48.2 ± 2.6^Cc
0.2	0	90	13.3 ± 2.3^De
0.2	0.1	85	84.9 ± 3.7^Aa
0.2	0.2	87	41.3 ± 3.2^Ccd

* Each value is the mean ± SE of two independent experiments, each with 40–50 shoots. IBA, indole-3-butyric acid; NAA, α-naphthaleneacetic acid. ** Data were acquired after 4 weeks. Percentage root induction was calculated as the number of rooting shoots/total number of shoots × 100. Values with different lowercase letters are significantly different (P < 0.05, Tukey’s test). Values with different uppercase letters are significantly different (P < 0.01, Tukey’s test)
