An Improved Micropropagation Protocol by Ex Vitro Rooting of Passiflora edulis Sims. f. flavicarpa Deg. through Nodal Segment Culture

Table 3

Effect of strength of MS medium augmented with 2.0 mgL⁻¹ IBA on in vitro root initiation from shoots of P. edulis after 4 weeks.

Strength of MS medium	Response (%)	Number of roots (mean ± SD)	Intensity of callus
Full strength	63	4.30 ± 0.15^a	Moderate callus
Half strength	98	7.13 ± 0.56^c	No callus
1/4 strength	82	6.46 ± 0.22^b	No callus

The Experiments were carried out with 10 replicates and repeated thrice. Mean separation was analyzed by ANOVA using SPSS software (var. 16.0) and significance variation between the concentrations was studied using DMRT at 0.05% level. Superscript letters denote the highest/lowest significant value within the concentrations/groups in this study. The same superscript letters are not significantly different according to DMRT at .
