2.2. Influence of carbon sources on phenolic secretion
Carbon sources such as fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose
were tested at different concentrations (10–50 g/l) to evaluate their
influence on controlling phenolic compound secretion and callus
forming efficiency. Cotyledon and hypocotyl explants were
cultured on MSB5 medium supplemented with different concentrations
of carbons sources. The results were observed after two
weeks of culture and the best carbon source was used for further
studies.
