Creating a novel petal regeneration system for function identification of colour gene of grape hyacinth

Table 2 Frequency of flower petal regeneration from explants of different ages

Flower stage	Frequency of flower petal regeneration (%)	Average petal number per explant
a	0.0 ± 0.0^c	0.0 ± 0.0^b
b	57.0 ± 11.0^a	10.7 ± 4.0^a
c	19.7 ± 10.1^b	9.0 ± 6.2^a
d	0.0 ± 0.0^c	0.0 ± 0.0^b

^aCalculated on the 11th week after the explants were cultured on MS medium containing 0.45 μM 2,4-D and 8.88 μM 6-BA
^bMeans ± SD within a column followed by the same letter are not significantly different according to Tukey’s multiple range test at P < 0.05
