In Vitro Micropropagation of Industrially and Medicinally Useful Plant Aloe trichosantha Berger Using Offshoot Cuttings

Table 1

Effect of PGRs with different concentrations and combinations of BAP and NAA on shooting responses of A. trichosantha Berger.

PGRs (mg/L)		Mean (SD) values
BAP	NAA	Days to shooting	Shoots per explant	Shoot length (cm)
0.00	0.00	0	0	0
0.50	0.50	16.8 (0.8)^a	5.5 (2.0)^c	4.8 (0.8)^a
1.00	0.50	16.3 (0.4)^ab	4.8 (2.3)^c	4.6 (0.4)^a
1.50	0.50	16.0 (0.5)^ab	9.3 (1.6)^b	3.1 (0.6)^b
2.00	0.50	15.0 (0.5)^b	17.3 (3.8)^a	3.3 (0.4)^b
Mean		12.90	7.35	3.15
CV%		4.85	45.45	20.54
LSD		0.96	5.15	0.99

Means in the same column with different letters are statistically significantly different at ; CV: coefficient of variance (%); LSD: least significant different.
