In Vitro Seeds Germination and Seedling Growth of Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc. (Fabaceae))

Table 3

Bambara groundnut plantlets growth on 1/2 MS containing glucose, sucrose, and fructose.

Carbohydrates	Plantlet height (cm)	Number of leaves	Root length (cm)	Biomass (g)
Glucose	5.30 ± 0.21	4.90 ± 0.43	6.69 ± 1.14	0.024 ± 0.01
Fructose	4.27 ± 0.33	4.18 ± 0.09	5.50 ± 1.49	0.015 ± 0.001
Sucrose	7.94 ± 0.57	5.35 ± 0.18	5.40 ± 0.65	0.04 ± 0.004

In the same column, the numbers followed by the same letter are statistically identical to the 5% threshold (Newman-Keuls test) (average ± standard error).
