Table 1.

Effect of phytohormone on multiple shoot induction from shoot apex explants in foxtail millet genotype Maxima. Response was noted after 3 weeks of incubation at 25 ± 2 °C in light. *Values are expressed as mean ± SD of 3 replications and 3 repeats. Values followed by the same letter are not significantly different based on a t-test (P < 0.001).
