Cytogenetic study of tissue-cultured plant, Tacca integrifolia / Nur Azian Aziz
White bat flower, Tacca integrifolia that has beautiful foliage and fascinating flowers is one of the most popular ornamental. Despite the medicinal importance of white bat flower, little attention has been given to its cytogenetic study which leads to insufficient information in cytogenetic profile...
