Stress Alterations in Growth Parameters, Pigment Content and Photosynthetic Functions of in vitro Cultured Plants

Abstract: Effects of different concentrations of glucose, sucrose and the natural growth regulator, triacontanol were studied under the unfavourable stress conditions of micropropagation of two woody plants, Sorbus rotundifolia L. and Primus x davidiopersica ‘Piroska’. After 4 - 6 weeks of cultures, the number and length of shoots, the photosynthetic activity as well as the chlorophyll, carotenoid and anthocyanin contents were investigated. As shown by the growth parameters, the optimal carbohydrate concentration was be… Show more

“…Triacontanol, a long 30-carbon primary alcohol naturally occurring plant growth promoter is known to increase the growth and yield of some plants both in vivo and in vitro (Ries 1985;Kissimon et al 1999;Tantos et al 1999). We found that TRIA added to the liquid MS medium supplemented with IAA and BAP stimulated sage shoot multiplication at all concentrations tested (5, 10 or 20 µg l -1 ).…”

“…The plant growth stimulating properties of TRIA (such as, increase in dry weight, leaf area and level of reducing sugars, amino acids, soluble proteins and total nitrogen) have been demonstrated by many researchers in various plant species (Ries 1985). Some authors have observed the role of TRIA in micropropagation of ornamental and other plants (Kissimon et al 1999;Reddy et al 2002). However, very few information is available on the effect of this natural growth regulator on biosynthesis of secondary metabolites.…”
