Abstract
Effects of inositol on growth and differentiation of Haworthia tissue were studied. Inositol was found to be essential for the survival of the tissue. Growth was increasingly better with the increase in inositol content of the medium. A minimum level of inositol was required for organ differentiation. Organ differentiation was also promoted by the increase in inositol concentration in the medium. The chlorophyll content of the tissue increased with the increasing concentration of inositol. Presence of 2‐deoxyglucose in the inositol‐containing medium led to inositol deficiency symptoms.Keywords
