In Vitro Micropropagation of Aloe adigratana Reynolds Using Offshoot Cuttings

Table 2

Rooting response of A. adigratana with different concentrations of NAA and IBA.

PGRs (mg/L)		Days to rooting	Mean no. of roots per explants (n)	Mean length of roots per explants (cm)
Control	0.0	—	—	—
IBA	0.5	14.60 (2.90)^d	8.40 (3.40)^b	3.86 (1.50)^ab
	1.0	18.20 (2.60)^bc	11.00 (3.75)^a	5.10 (2.60)^a
	1.5	15.00 (2.55)^cd	9.40 (4.80)^b	5.62 (3.10)^a
NAA	0.5	24.20 (1.90)^a	13.60 (6.95)^a	4.04 (1.40)^ab
	1.0	20.00 (3.50)^b	11.80 (6.90)^a	3.64 (0.80)^ab
	1.5	15.00 (2.20)^cd	10.40 (5.60)^ab	2.46 (1.80)^b
	Mean	19.57	9.23	3.53
	CV (%)	12.73	52.26	52.33
	LSD	3.25	6.29	2.41

Means with different letters in the same column are significantly different at ; CV coefficient of variance (%); LSD: least significant difference.
