t1“GROWTH OF EXCISED PEA EMBRYONIC AXES ON DIFFERENT SUGARS”
e2“The optimum sucrose concentration for elongation and fresh wt accumulation was 5% (w/v), although dry wt and sugar content increased in cultures containing 10 to 20%”

- Observation Excised pea embryonic axes continued to grow for at least 3 weeks in culture.
- Intervention effect A 5% (w/v) sucrose concentration was optimum for elongation and fresh weight accumulation of excised pea embryonic axes.
- Intervention effect Glucose, fructose and maltose at 2% gave growth of excised pea embryonic axes comparable to 2% sucrose.
