Surface sterilization method for reducing contamination of Clinacanthus nutans nodal explants intended for in-vitro culture
Surface sterilization is a vital step in preparation of healthy and viable explants in tissue culture. Most surface contaminants can be eliminated by surface sterilization with a suitable sterilizing agent. The study aimed to present an effective disinfection method for Clinacanthus nutans shoot reg...
