Preliminary Screening of Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities and Establishment of an Efficient Callus Induction in Curculigo latifolia Dryand (Lemba)

Table 2

Mean number of shoots and roots’ formation from leaf explants of C. latifolia Dryand cultured on MS media supplemented with BAP alone or in combination with IBA (IBA+BAP) at various concentrations after 8 weeks of culture (, ). Different letters in the same column represent a significant difference at the 5% level in Duncan’s multiple range tests.
