Even though the number of NS (4.20 NS per explant) was recorded in 18 μM BA (Table 1), this BA concentration was harmful because it decreased the number of shoots per explant, length of shoots and number of leaves per explant (Table 1).
Shoot height and number of leaves per shoot were sig- nificantly increased when 6.0 μM BA was used Figure 1(c)), but both parameters decreased at the higher con- centrations (Table 1).
