Enhancement of direct somatic embryogenesis of Eurycoma longifolia in vitro: PGR, basal medium and other factors affecting somatic embryo formation

An alternative protocol for somatic embryo induction directly from cotyledon of Eurycoma longifolia (Tongkat Ali), was established in this study. Due to its high usage in medicinal traditional treatment, the demand has lead to excessive harvest through destructive method, which has caused serious s...
