Direct Shoot Regeneration from Leaf Explants of Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.)

Key Points

• Direct shoot regeneration was successfully achieved from leaf explants of chicory, showing promise for agricultural applications.
• Key evidence indicates that the regeneration rate was substantial, supporting efficient propagation methods for chicory.
• Assessment using plant tissue culture techniques demonstrated the viability of leaf explants in producing new shoots effectively.
• Results highlight the benefits of using leaf explants for plant regeneration, suggesting further exploration in commercial applications may be fruitful.
