Each experiment was repeated thrice with six replicates per treatment. Data were regularly recorded after intervals of 10–15 days. Different lowercase letters based on Duncan’s test at P ≤ 0.05 indicate significant differences among treatments by one-way ANOVA. BAP, 6-Benzyl Amino Purine; IAA, Indole-3-acetic Acid MMS; Modified Murashige and Skoog.
