Osmotic adjustment in tobacco plantlets

  • Brief communication
  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

UsingNicotiana tabacum L. plantlets cultivatedin vitro as a model system it was proved that osmotic adjustment may be caused by a decrease in water potential of substrate as well as by a decrease in air humidity.
