| Abstract | ||
| 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). | ||
