Harnessing carbon nanotubes in Moringa oleifera micropropagation for enhanced morphological traits, phytochemicals, and phytohormones production Moringa oleifera, a highly valued medicinal plant, rich in bioactive compounds, has low regeneration efficiency that limits its large-scale production. This study evaluated the potential of CNTs to enhance in-vitro micropropagation...
