The effect of sucrose on the chlorophyll content of healthy and vitrificated plants of some species of Gypsophylla panicolata micropropagated in vitro

This study was conducted at the laboratories of Horticultural Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University to determine the effect of using three levels of sucrose (10, 30, 50 g /l) on chlorophyll content between healthy and vitrified plants of three varieties of Gypsophylla panicolata (Golantwo, Planshnet, Newlove).

Planshnet was the best variety in chlorophyll content either in healthy or in vitrified plantlets. Moreover, the treatment with sucrose of 10 g/l caused significant increment of chlorophyll content compared with other treatments. The high total chlorophyll content was 17.46 micrograms/ ml in healthy plants compared with 14.26 micrograms / ml in vitrification plants for Planshnet at 10 g/l sucrose.
