including 1 mg l−1 gibberellic acid (GA3) and 1 mg l−1 6-benzyladenine (BA); the most suitable medium for shoot multiplication was half-strength MS to which 1 mg l−1 BA and 0.5 mg l−1 kinetin (KT) were added, and the preferred root-induction medium (RIM) was half-strength MS plus 1 mg l−1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). In the latter study, the cultivar(s) used were not specified, diluting the impact and relevance of that study, although some valuable clues were provided regarding the suitability of media.
