The Effect of Nitrogen and Saccharose on Tuberizafion in Vitro. The tuberization rate increased and tuber mass decreased to one half or one quarter in potato plantlets in a modified MS-medium with 3 % saccharose and decreased nitrogen content in comparison with normal MS-medium. Decreasing nitrogen content prolonged the time necessary for tuberization. The increase of sucrose concentration to 4 % decreased the inhibitory effect of higher contents of nitrogen on tuberization rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
