Antioxidant Capacity as a Marker for Assessing the In Vitro Performance of the Endangered Cistus heterophyllus

Table 2

Effect of basal media formulations on tissue water content (TWC) and biomass accumulation in shoots of C. heterophyllus after 4 weeks of culture in liquid media.

Basal medium	Tissue water content (%)	Dry weight (mg/shoot)
DKW	94.1±0.5^a	7.1±0.9^a
G	91.8±0.8^b	7.5±0.9^a
MS	92.4±1.9^a,b	6.0±2.3^a
MS/2
Solid	89.7±0.3^b	10.0±2.0^a
Liquid	91.1±1.4^b	6.4±1.0^a
W	91.7±0.6^b	4.0±1.4^b

a,bValues are means ± SE. Means followed by the same letter were not significantly different according to Tukey’s HSD test (𝑃≤0.05).
