  1. CGP* casein hydrolysate, glutamine and proline
  2. A total of 20 cell groups were used each time for regeneration in each media combination
  3. Mean ± SE followed by different letters in superscript for a column are significantly different at P ≤ 0.05 according to Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT)
