indicating that the explants had the capacity to regenerate.
Similarly, fewer regenerants were formed when leaf explants were cultured on the basal medium supplemented with the auxin transport inhibitor TIBA (Fig. 4). Leaf explants exposed to TIBA at lower concentrations of 20 and 40 μM showed signs of regeneration with as many as 10 regenerants per explant. The presence of TDZ in the medium alleviated the TIBA-induced inhibition and the explants developed 18–24 regenerants per explant (Fig. 4).
