Abstract
We investigated the effect of osmotic stress on elongation and the water status of tissue-cultured asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L. cv. ‘UC157F1’). The shoot tips of asparagus were excised and transplanted to MS media containing 15-60 g L-1 sucrose concentration.
There was no apparent root development; water potential gradients between elongation region (shoot tip) and mature region (base of stem) were correlated to shoot elongation rate.
When the media contained 15 g L-1 of sucrose, the gradient and elongation rate was the highest.
This result suggested that measuring water potential gradient may be used as a useful indicator of ascertaining optimum medium condition for tissue-cultured plants.
Additionally, we investigated the effect of ancymidol, which improved differentiation and development of asparagus root on shoot elongation and water status.
