Implication

Randomized trial evaluates IBA concentration effects on rooting and growth traits in Physalis peruviana, indicating optimal conditions for propagation.

Key Points

The study aims to explore how different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and the origin of explants affect rooting and early growth in Physalis peruviana shoots.
Completely randomized design with a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement of two explant origins and four IBA concentrations
Assessed rooting percentage, root number, root length, biomass, and shoot traits over a 30-day ex vitro period
Five biological replicates per treatment combination.
100% rooting was achieved across all treatment combinations, with at least one visible root for all shoots.
800 mg L−1 IBA resulted in the highest root biomass and improved shoot growth traits, while 1600 mg L−1 correlated with decreased shoot growth variables.
Hypocotyl-derived shoots exhibited greater leaf and node numbers, stem diameter, and shoot dry mass compared to cotyledon-derived shoots.
