Endophytic culture filtrates improve early in vitro seedling development of Colobanthus quitensis: advancing a germination-based protocol for Antarctic plant conservation

Key Points

• Culture filtrates significantly enhance seedling growth, improving overall vigor and health.
• The study found that endophytic culture filtrates can increase germination rates by 30% during early development.
• Analysis of seedling responses to different culture filtrates shows effective growth enhancement strategies.
• These findings may enable better ecological conservation of Antarctic plant species like Colobanthus quitensis.
