Establishment Of Tissue Culture Planting Materials Of Gac (Momordica Cochinchinensis) Using Improved Light Emitting Diodes (Leds) Technology And Silver Nitrate Treatment

The Gac plant (Momordica cochinchinensis) of the cucurbitaceae family is native to the Southeast Asia region. The fruit has traditionally used as food and medicine due to their high levels of phytonutrients and antioxidants particularly beta-carotene and lycopene. M. cochinchinensis nodal explants u...
