^aValues are mean ± Std.

^zExplants produced multiple buds instead of callus.

^yEfficiency of bud induction = number of explants produced multiple buds / total number of explants cultured × 100.

^xMultiplication rate = total number of plantlets from three corm discs isolated from one in vitro mother plantlet.
