Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect 0.25 mg L-1 BA significantly enhanced shoot multiplication (2.40 shoots) compared with control (1.00 shoot).
- Intervention effect 0.25 mg L-1 BA significantly enhanced fresh weight (1.10 g) compared with control (0.36 g).
- Intervention effect 0.25 mg L-1 BA significantly enhanced dry weight (0.11 g) compared with control (0.05 g).
- Intervention effect 0.75 mg L-1 GA3 maximized shoot length (8.65±49%).
- Intervention effect 0.75 mg L-1 GA3 facilitated robust plantlet development (P < 0.001).
- Intervention effect 0.75 mg L-1 GA3 did not compromise biomass accumulation.
- Method / resource The two-stage protocol yields approximately 3.1 transplant-ready plantlets per explant within 6-7 weeks.
- Method / resource The protocol offers an approximately 50-fold annual multiplication rate.
- Method / resource The protocol gives superior genetic uniformity and cost-effectiveness compared with conventional propagation methods.
- Intervention effect BA treatment gave a 140% increase in propagation efficiency relative to control.
- Mechanism GA3 stimulates internodal elongation through DELLA protein degradation.
