Subsequently, a secondary induction medium supplemented with a combination of 1.0 mg L<sup>−1</sup> 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid with various concentrations of 6-benzyladenine cytokinin (1 to 5 mg L<sup>−1</sup>) was used to promote embryogenesis. The results revealed the successful formation of pre-embryonic and embryonic stages, including globular, heart, torpedo, and cotyledon stages within a 2-wk incubation period under the specified hormonal conditions, leading to subsequent development into the mature vegetative phase after an additional 4 wk. Significant embryo production (16 ± 2.0 torpedo stage embryos per 50 mL culture media) was observed in Murashige and Skoog medium enriched with 1.0 mg L<sup>−1</sup> 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2.0 mg L<sup>−1</sup> 6-benzyladenine, surpassing the results observed with other concentrations (<i>p</i>-value < 0.0001).

Due to the free water and high humidity in the culture container environment, poorly developed cuticle results in rapid water loss and drying of plantlets with watery stems and leaves, incomplete stomata, and large intercellular space. When plantlets are exposed to an environmental condition different from the culture medium, problems, such as rapid water loss and drying, may be encountered, and the survival rate of plantlets <i>in vitro</i> may be reduced. The aim of this study was to reduce the stress factors that occur during the acclimatization phase. For this reason, various healing agents have been used. Some of these compounds are ascorbic acid (AsA), salicylic acid (SA), and sodium nitroprusside (SNP). In the study, the response of AsA (100.0 and 200.0 mg L<sup>−1</sup>), SA (100.0 and 200.0 mg L<sup>−1</sup>), and SNP (100.0 and 200.0 µM) applications on growth parameters (survival rate (%), node count (pieces per plant), count of leaves (pieces per plant), shoot length (mm), and shoot diameter (mm)) and physiological variable (Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD)) were examined. The AsA100 (100.0 mg L<sup>−1</sup> ascorbic acid), AsA200 (200.0 mg L<sup>−1</sup> ascorbic acid), and SNP100 (100.0 µM sodium nitroprusside) applications resulted in an improvement in node count, leaf count per plant, shoot length, and shoot diameter parameters. The highest shoot length (60.50 ± 7.81 mm) and node count (16.83 ± 1.15 pieces per plantlet) were achieved with the AsA100 application. The maximum stem diameter (2.31 ± 0.37 mm) was determined with the SNP100 application. There were no statistically significant differences found in the survival rate, leaf count, and SPAD parameter.
