| Abstract | ||
| Sucrose is a very important component of in vitro culture media, serving as a source of carbon and energy. In this experiment, the rooting and growth of Aboudy fig cultivar (Ficus carica), was studied by culturing the new shoots on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 NAA (mg/L) at pH 5.8 and different concentrations of sucrose (1, 5 and 3% as a control treatment). Sucrose concentration in the culture medium had no effect onplant shooting and growth, but sucrose concentration at 5% gave the highest rate of root production estimated as root numbers or root length. | ||
