Abstract:The present study aimed to investigate the effect of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) as an anti-ethylene agent on in vitro microtuberization in potato cv. Spunta. The concentrations; 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 mg/l of Ag-NPs or silver thiosulfate (STS) were used to determine their influence on microtuberization. The results of Ag-NPs treatments showed that, the average number of microtubers/jar was elevated and reached the highest level (14.9 microtubers/jar) which represents about 83.95% over the control treatm… Show more
