Effects of different levels of elicitors on induction of adventitious roots from leaf explant of A. bracteosa in solid media
| S.# | MS + PGRS (mg/L) | Root induction frequency (%) | Roots per explant (mean) | Fresh bio mass (g/L) | Dry bio mass (g/L) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | PAA (0.6) | 26.1 ± 1.3c | 9.2 ± 0.6c | 18.2 ± 1.1c | 1.8 ± 0.08c |
| 2 | PAA (1.2) | 52.2 ± 2.9 ab | 16.2 ± 1.8 ab | 26.2 ± 2.4 b | 3.8 ± 0.9 b |
| 3 | PAA (2.5) | 23.3 ± 1.4cd | 8.3 ± 1.2c | 12.2 ± 1.2cd | 1.7 ± 0.5c |
| 4 | Me-J (0.6) | 63.4 ± 3.1 a | 24.3 ± 1.9 a | 41.2 ± 2.2 a | 4.9 ± 0.9 a |
| 5 | Me-J (1.2) | 36.4 ± 1.1bc | 14.5 ± 0.8bc | 28.1 ± 2.1b | 3.8 ± 0.8b |
| 6 | Me-J (2.5) | 21.6 ± 1.7cd | 8.7 ± 1.4c | 18.7 ± 1.7bc | 2.7 ± 0.6bc |
Data represent mean values from three replicates with ± standard error. Values with common letter/s are similar significantly at P < 0.05. Bold letters show highest root induction frequency in comparison
