An in vitro study on Ophiopogon planiscapus var. nigrescens
M.Sc. === Ophiopogon planiscapus var. nigrescens belongs to the family Convallariaceae. This plant exhibits unique black pigmented leaves and is, therefore. used in growing arrangements. The natural rate of multiplication. however. is slow and a reversion to green leaves in some plants necessitates...
