Assessment of Plant Growth Regulators and Carbon Sources on the Germination and Growth Process of Dandelion (<i>Taraxacum officinale</i> G.H. Weber ex Wiggers) under <i>In Vitro</i> Conditions
There are several studies on the medicinal properties of dandelions (<i>Taraxacum officinale</i>), but few studies are aimed at understanding the <i>in vitro</i> germination process of this plant to improve its propagation. This research was focused on studying <i>in vi...
