Abstract: | Reducing the concentration of sucrose in the culture mediumover successive subcultures has been tested as a method forincreasing the ability of rose shoots grown in vitro (Rosa cvsIceberg and Peace) to take up CO2. Shoots maintained on constant10, 20 and 40 g I1 sucrose showed decreased levels ofCO2 uptake at higher sucrose concentrations, although cv. Peacegrew least at 10 g l1 and showed correspondingly lowamounts of CO2 uptake compared with 20 and 40 g l1. Bothcultivars died when sucrose was omitted from the medium. Assucrose concentration was reduced in the medium, so CO2 uptakeof shoots initially cultured on 20 and 40 g l1 sucrosewas found to increase, although a concentration of 10 gl 1sucrose seemed to be limiting, below which the growth and chlorophylllevels of shoots declined.
