More than 80% shoot regeneration and formation of 10%-30% whitish-brown callus
were observed within 3 weeks. The highest root proliferation was obtained from Murashige Skoog
medium of 6-benzylamino purine (0.05 mg/L) and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (0.01 mg/L) with
mean root length of (27.00依1.25) mm and elongated single shoot of mean length (38.00依11.09) mm.
Leaf epidermal features that revealed similarities between the wild and micropropagated plants
included amphistomatic condition, presence of mucilage, glandular unicellular trichome with
multicellular head, polygonal cells with smooth walls, stomata type and shape. Slight variations
included thick cuticular wall with closed stomata in wild plant compared to thin walled opened
stomata in the in vitro plant. Opening of stomata accounted for larger average stomata sizes
of (7.68依0.38) µm and (6.14依0.46) µm on th
