Plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis in cell suspensions of Cenchrus ciliaris L.

Table 3 Root growth in ½ MS, basal MS and different IBA concentrations

S. no.	Media composition	No. of roots	Root length (cm)	Observation
1	½ MS	29.33 ± 1.45^a>	10.90 ± 0.83^a	White, thick and long roots
2	Basal MS	3.33 ± 0.33^b	1.10 ± 0.23^b	White, small threads like roots
3	MS + 1 mg l⁻¹ IBA	1.33 ± 0.29^b	0.40 ± 0.15^b	Small and brown roots
4	MS + 2 mg l⁻¹ IBA	2.67 ± 0.38^b	0.47 ± 0.18^b	Small and brown roots
5	MS + 2 mg l⁻¹ IBA + 0.4% Charcoal	1.00 ± 0.28^b	0.17 ± 0.04^b	Small and brown roots

The number of roots and root length were calculated by taking an average of 3 plant data points
Mean ± SE followed by different letters in superscript for a column is significantly different at P ≤ 0.05 according to Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT)
