Four different
matrix compositions, including NaAlg with or without LS medium containing 3% (w/v) sucrose alone or in combination with 0.5 mg/L
abscisic acid (ABA) as a growth retardant were tested for the regrowth performance of synthetic seeds after storage at 4 °C up to 70 days.
The highest regrowth (100%) was observed at 28 days of storage for all matrix compositions. All plantlets were acclimatized to the soil
and then progressively transferred to the field. The fruits were harvested after 5 months.
