Abstract
AbstractOrgan differentiation and growth of tissue cultured bulbscales of Lilium auratum Lindl. was investigated. Benzyladenine stimulated bulb and bulbscale differentiation but inhibited root formation. Addition of activated charcoal to the medium negated the effect of BA on differentiation, while the growth of bulbs was markedly stimulated. Organ formation was also influenced by the physiological age of bulbs. From bulbscales of a 3‐week‐old bulb, a large number of bulbs and roots was formed but callus was not produced.A high sucrose concentration (90 g/1) reduced the subsequent sprouting after planting in soil. Scale leaf formation was also regulated. Sucrose (30 g/1) stimulated scale leaf formation but 90 g/1 were inhibitory.
