**2.3 Multiplication**

The young shoots of strawberries from MS medium [10] were transferred to the experiment, consisting of 21 treatments as above. All treatments had 10 replicates and were supplemented with sucrose 30 g L−1, phytagel 2.5 g L−1, and adjusted pH to 5.7. All cultures were maintained in a culture room kept at 25 ± 2°C with a light intensity of 100 mol m−2 s1 and a photoperiod of 16 h [9]. The following data were corrected after 4 weeks of culture: number of plantlets (plants/explant), fresh weight of plantlets (g/explant), number of roots (root/explant), and root length (root/explant).
