Table 6 Influence of varying concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) on the proliferation of water lily shoots
Treatments | Bud growth |
|---|---|
C1 | The burgeoning shoots showed no signs of injury; there were 2–3 thriving shoots, exhibiting robust growth |
C2 | The burgeoning shoots showed no signs of injury; there were 2–5 thriving shoots, exhibiting robust growth |
C3 | The burgeoning shoots showed no signs of injury; there were 3–8 thriving shoots, exhibiting robust growth |
C4 | The cluster of shoots exhibited occasional callus formation, typically comprising 1 to 2 shoots, with a generally moderate growth trajectory |
C5 | The proliferation of shoots led to increased injury, with the emergence of one to two such shoots. These shoots had poor growth vigor, and injury-induced necrosis and browning lead to their death |
