Table 4. Regeneration efficiency and naranjilla plantlet growth from the culture of petioles from upper and lower plantlet sections.

	Number of shoots	Shoot length (cm)	Number of leaves	Average leaf length (cm)
Position of petiole	Mean±SE	Mean±SE	Mean±SE	Mean±SE
Upper section	2.24±0.50^a	0.42±0.10^a	5.03±0.70^a	0.22±0.10^a
Lower section	1.77±0.30^b	0.32±0.10^b	3.73±0.40^b	0.18±0.10^b

Means followed by the same lower case letter in a column are not statistically different from each other (One Way ANOVA, Tuckey, p<0.05).
