Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Sucrose concentration during elongation changed soluble carbohydrate and starch contents, especially at 0 and 6%.
- Mechanism The authors interpreted sorbitol predominance as confirmation of photosynthetic competence in vitro.
- Intervention effect Plantlets accumulated glucose, sucrose and starch at 6% elongation sucrose.
- Intervention effect The carbohydrate accumulation at 6% sucrose did not improve rooting on carbohydrate-free medium.
- Intervention effect Elongation at 4% sucrose stimulated rooting on agar-based sucrose-free medium.
- Observation Rooting in perlite-based liquid medium was 50 – 65%.
- Association Elongation sucrose concentration had no significant effect on rooting in perlite-based liquid medium.
