MS+1.0 mg1-1NAA affected the second highest number of
roots with 8.89 roots per plantlet. Of all the media tested, MS
media alone without growth regulators gave the lowest number
of roots with an average of only 2.11 roots per plantlet. Amongst
the media with growth regulators, the media MS+1.0 mg1-1
NAA +0.2 mg1-1 BAP gave the lowest number of roots with
3.67 roots per plantlet. Hence, there were only marginal
differences in the number of roots with control though there
was a significant difference between the two. The highest
average length of roots was found in the media MS+1.0 mg1-
1NAA (2.22 cm) followed by the media MS+0.5 mg1-1NAA
with 1.67 cm per plantlet. Length of roots in the MS media
alone, MS+0.1 mg1-1NAA and MS+2.0 mg1-1NAA were at
par, the root length ranging from 1-1.5 cm.
