The impact of sucrose concentration on root growth and development in fig (ficus carica l.)‎ in vitro

الملخص EN

With a view to control of ecological condition, in vitro culture is a convenient method to biological studies in plants.

sucrose is a very important component of in vitro culture media, serving as a source of carbon and energy.

the effect of sucrose concentration was studied under in vitro laboratory culture of aboudy fig cultivar ficus carica l.

sucrose with three concentrations (1, 3 (control) and 5%) in ms medium supplemented with 0.1mg/l 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (naa) were investigated.

results showed that sucrose concentration at 1% gave the best results regarding shoot length (cm) and leaves number, although that sucrose at 3% gave the highest proliferation rate.

where as sucrose at 5% gave the highest rate of root growth estimated as root number (28.66) or root length (2.49 cm).
