Some observations on the effects of BAP, gibberellic acid, and coconut water on elongation of micro shoots using 1/2 MS medium.

BAP; (mg/L)	GA (mg/L)	Coconut water; (%)	% of explants with shoots ≥2.0 cm; (mean ± SE)	Days taken	Phenotypic appearance
0	0	0	0.00 ± 0.00^a	35	Stunted with callusing of stem bases
0	1.0	0	52.08 ± 6.61^b	35	Shoots fasciated, with thick stems
0.1	0	0	52.00 ± 8.33^b	35	Shoots normal but elongation slow
0.1	0.1	0	70.17 ± 10.67^b	31	Shoots fasciated, twisted thick stems
0.1	0	10	81.25 ± 5.54^b	35	Normal, multiple shoots formed
