Cover Story: Physalis peruviana L., known as golden berry or aguaymanto, is an Andean fruit crop valued for its nutritional and commercial potential. This study evaluated how indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentration and explant origin affect rooting-related traits and early ex vitro growth of regenerated shoots. All shoots rooted successfully during acclimatization, while the 800 mg L⁻¹ IBA treatment promoted greater root biomass and improved several vegetative growth traits. These results provide useful information for refining rooting and acclimatization protocols in micropropagated P. peruviana plants. View this paper
