  1. C: Control, Mox 1: 250 mg/L M. officinalis leaf extract, Mox 2: 500 mg/L M. officinalis leaf extract, MnCl2: 1000 µM MnCl2, MnCl2 + Mox 1: 1000 µM MnCl2 + 250 mg/L M. officinalis leaf extract, MnCl2 + Mox 2: 1000 µM MnCl2 + 500 mg/L M. officinalis leaf extract. Data are displayed as mean ± standard deviation. n = 50 for rooting percentage and, n = 10 for root length and weight increase. Different letters (a–d) in the same column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between groups.
