WPM: Woody Plant Medium [10]. 1Multiplication rate: number of useful shoots obtained per initial shoot. 2Average of shoot length for all shoots obtained. 3Average of internode length for all shoot obtained. 4Initial and adventitious shoots. Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments by Tukey’s multiple range test ( ). Data are the averages of 2 replications of at least 56 shoots each.
