In Vitro Culture Conditions and OeARF and OeH3 Expressions Modulate Adventitious Root Formation from Oleaster (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. sylvestris) Cuttings

Table 1

Effects of different medium on the vegetative growth of seedling-derived cuttings (Scs) of Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. sylvestris after 45 days of in vitro culture. MSZ2.5 MSZ5 = Murashige and Shoog medium + 2.5 mg/L (11.5 µM) and 5 mg/L (23 µM) trans-zeatin, respectively; ORZ2.5 ORZ2.5; olive medium + 2.5 mg/L (11.5 µM) and 5 mg/L (23 µM) trans-zeatin, respectively. Means with common letters are not significantly different at , according to Turkey’s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test.
