Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect MSB with 4.44 μM BAP and 4.52 μM 2,4-D induced cassava anther callus.
- Intervention effect Pretreatment at 4 °C for over 48 hours prevented callus formation.
- Intervention effect A medium containing 4g/ℓ activated charcoal prevented callus formation.
- Intervention effect Callus on MSB with 4.44–8.88 μM BAP alone formed only roots.
- Intervention effect 8.88 μM BAP with 10.74 μM NAA induced chlorophyll formation in callus.
- Intervention effect ABA reduced callus greening frequency when combined with NAA and BAP.
