Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Unventilated cultures at 8% sucrose reached 100% microtuber initiation and growth.
- Observation Unventilated cultures at 4% sucrose reached 40–50% initiation and growth.
- Observation Microtuber initiation and growth were absent at 1% sucrose in unventilated cultures.
- Observation Microtuber initiation and growth were absent at 2% sucrose in unventilated cultures.
- Intervention effect Ventilation and medium drying enabled 90–100% rapid tuberization at 2–8% sucrose.
- Intervention effect Water supplementation at day 28 prevented tuberization at 1–4% sucrose through day 56.
- Intervention effect Microtuber fresh and dry weight per plant increased significantly with sucrose concentration.
- Intervention effect Microtuber fresh and dry weight increased significantly with ventilation.
- Intervention effect Microtuber fresh and dry weight increased significantly under natural light.
- Intervention effect Usable microtubers increased from 1.0–1.4 per plant at 8% sucrose to 1.6–2.6 at 4%.
- Intervention effect Natural light gave the highest usable microtuber numbers for Desirée and King Edward.
- Intervention effect At 4% versus 8% sucrose, microtuber dry matter declined to 11.3% from 17.3%.
