Content of chloroplast pigments and saccharides in leaves of poppy anemone (Anemone coronaria L.) ‘Sylphide’ after application of benzyladenine and gibberellic acid

摘要

Tubers of the poppy anemone (Anemone coronaria L.) ‘Sylphide’ before planting were soaked for 24 h in water or gibberellic acid (GA3) and benzyladenine (BA) at three concentrations: 50, 100 and 150 mg·dm-3. From the 10th to 16th week of culture, leaves were sampled at weekly intervals to prepare weighed portions for determination of the content of saccharides and pigments: chlorophyll (total content) and carotenoids. Gibberellic acid and benzyladenine stimulated the production of chlorophyll and carotenoids as well as the accumulation of saccharides in leaves.
