The authors recommend germinating seeds at the lower hormone dose and then subculturing at the higher dose.
- Taxon
- W. somnifera (L.) Dunal
Withania somniferae0 - Outcome
- seeds should be germinated first in MS medium containing 3.0 mg l-1 GA3 and 3.0 mg l-1 Kn and after that the completely germinated seeds should be subcultured in MS medium supplemented with growth hormones 5.0 mg l-1 GA3 and 5.0 mg l-1 Kn for seedling developmente0
