1/2 WPM: Woody Plant Medium [10] half concentration. 1/2 MSG: Murashige and Skoog [9] salts at half concentration with Gamborg vitamins [18]. Different letters in the same column indicate significant differences between treatments by Tukey’s multiple range test ( ). Data are the average of 3 replications of 20 shoots.
