Composition of the walls of stem and leaves of vitrifying carnation

[en] Vitrification of stem explants of carnation was brought about by culturing in liquid medium. Cellulose and lignin levels were decreased in vitrified stems and leaves. Isolated cell walls of vitrified tissues were also characterized by low calcium content, low Ca2+/uronic acids ratio, low ratio of uronic acids to neutral sugars due to higher amounts of the latters. All these characteristics may account for the high wall plastic potential previously measured in vitrifying internodes. © 1988 Academia.
