A = 3+ papers agree

Every figure was extracted from a published sentence by a rule-based reader, re-derived by a second independent reader, and kept only if both agreed. Unclear sentences were skipped, not guessed. Check the cited paper and validate on your own material before relying on any protocol.

“They were rinsed in 70% ethanol for 30 s, then immersed in a 4% sodium hypochlorite solution for 15 min, followed by three washings with sterile distilled water then placed on sterile filter paper to extract the anthers.” [1]

“While the maximum rate of callus induction (56.8%) was detected in MS medium (0.3 mg/L 2,4-D and 1 mg/L BAP).” [1]

Somatic embryogenesis

“For ‘Starbor F2’, 0.2 mg/L TDZ treatment achieved the highest embryogenesis rate (1.83-fold higher than the control group) and direct seeding rate (1.61-fold increase), and the lowest mortality rate.” [2]

“High percentage root regeneration (100%) in in vitro developed shoots was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.10mg/l NAA.” [3]
“MS medium supplemented with 0.10 mg/l NAA was found best for root regeneration (100 %) from in vitro developed shoots.” [4]

“Rooting was achieved within two to three weeks on all the rooting media, but MS medium containing 0.10 mg/l NAA produced the maximum number of strong and healthy roots (100%).” [5]
