*3.6.2 Liquid media without kinetin ( kinetin)*

The result in **Figure 23** shows that the wet weight of samples A (0.97604), B (0.97378), and (1.16438) varied. Thus, making the dry weight fall within the same range. Nevertheless, A (0.17284) had the most negligible value after drying; next were B (0.17808) and C (0.18568), respectively. The increase in the wet weight before drying

resulted from external factors, leading to water absorption and turgor pressure of cells from the enlarged cell, which agrees with the study of Dale [106]. At the same time, the rapid decrease in moisture during drying could be as a result of the osmotic stress on the cells, which can cause moisture to escape from the cells [107] (see **Table 5**).
