Abstract: | Tobacco plantlets were cultured in vitro under high (200 µmol m–2 s–1) or low (60 µmol m–2 s–1) irradiance with or without saccharose in the medium. Light microscopy and image analysis were used to evaluate the effect of these culture conditions on leaf anatomy. Addition of saccharose resulted in thicker leaves (all leaf layers) and larger mesophyll cells under both growth irradiances. Various irradiance affected leaf anatomy differently when plantlets had been cultivated in presence or absence of saccharose in the medium. While under high irradiance in presence of saccharose leaf thickness and number of chloroplasts per cell section were increased, plantlets grown under high irradiance in absence of saccharose had thinner leaves and less chloroplasts per cell section. The changes were more pronounced in palisade parenchyma layer. |
