An Effective Protocol for Micropropagation of Edible Bamboo Species (Bambusa tulda and Melocanna baccifera) through Nodal Culture

Table 1

Effect of BAP, Kn, and Kn + BAP in MS medium on shoot multiplication of Bambusa tulda.

Growth hormones	Concentration (mg/L)	Average shoots produced per explant	Multiplication rate per explant
BAP	1	8.33^a±1.82	2.50^ab±0.67
	2	14.00^abc±1.80	4.33^ab±0.67
	3	16.83^c±0.48	5.33^b±0.21
	4	16.50^bc±0.92	5.17^ab±0.31
	5	11.83^abc±1.94	3.50^ab±0.67
Kn	6	7.50^a±2.31	2.17^a±0.83
Kn + BAP	1+3	13.83^abc±2.81	4.17^ab±1.01
	2+3	17.67^c±0.56	5.50^b±0.22
	4+3	13.67^abc±2.32	4.17^ab±0.87

Mean of 10 replicates ± S.E., scored after 4 weeks in culture medium. Within each column, values followed by the same letter are not significantly different according to Tukey’s test at 𝑃<0.05.
