Rapid multiplication of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz.) as a potential method to provide disease-free plant materials

When explants were cultured for 3 weeks in a double phase medium, with 0.05 μM gibberellic acid (GA$\sb3$) in LIMO and AMM solid phase, taller (3 cm), single shoots with $>$3.5 roots per explant were produced, while with APM and GA$\sb3$ cultures were shorter, multiple shoots but without roots. Double phase medium of either AMM or APM with GA$\sb3$ in the LIMO, induced $>$5 dissectable nodes vs 2 nodes with single phase AMM or APM + GA$\sb3$.
