  • The greatest shoot proliferation in stem-nodes occurred with 4.44 μM N6-benzyladenine.

  • The greatest shoot height was obtained with gibberellic acid (4.34 and 8.67 μM).

  • The highest percentage of rooting (89.4%) occurred with 2.45-μM indole-3-butyric acid.

  • The 91.7% of the rooted shoots was able to survive after 30 days of acclimatization.

  • Regenerated plantlets were able to produce phenolics possessing antioxidant activity.
