“…In organ and callus cultures, the shoot formation usually leads to genetic alterations, while genetic characteristics of clones can be preserved by propagation via shoot tips or meristem cultures (Bhojwani and Dantu, 2013). Numerous studies on different plants such as Arachis hypogaea (Hsieh et al, 2017), Moringa oleifera (Avila-Treviño et al, 2017), Camellia oleifera (Li et al, 2016), Ficus religiosa L. (Hesami et al, 2017), Passiflora caerulea L. (Jafari et al, 2017), and Withania somnifera (Nayak et al, 2013) have indi-cated that cotyledonary node explants possess a great potential for shoot proliferation. However, to date there have been limited studies on applying in vitro methods on plants from Chenopodiaceae family.…”
