Shoot multiplication as affected by different explant position on mother stock plant of Clinacanthus nutans
Clinacanthus nutans of the family Acanthaceae or commonly known as Sabah Snake Grass is a famous tropical herb used for medicinal purpose. This plant is widely used in Southeast Asia especially in Malaysia as an anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of wound and disinfection. Recently, it is used...
