Inventor(s) include B. Kalyana Babu; K. Suresh; G. Ravichandran; M. Narayana Ruthwek; and Mahesh S. S. N. Mokhamatla.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for improving in-vitro root induction and plantlet regeneration efficiency in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). The present disclosure provides a specialized rooting medium formulated using half-strength MS (-MS) and M-84 media supplemented with the growth substance Iron-EDTA at an optimized concentration. The inventors unexpectedly discovered that the inclusion of Iron-EDTA at a concentration ranging from about 0.005% w/v to 0.006% w/v (100 to 110 mg/lit) significantly enhances root initiation, root elongation, and root system architecture when compared to standard rooting media lacking this growth substance."
