Nodal explants were prepared and transferred to a multiple shoot induction medium (MSI) consisting of MS salts and Triacontanol (TRIA) at 0–11.39 nano molar (nM), benzyl adenine (BA) at 0–8.88 lM and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at 0–5.37 lM to determine their effect on multiple axillary shoot formation.
