Notes:
Summary Tomato cotyledon explants, cultured in vitro in the presence of sucrose, were subjected to different hormonal treatments to establish whether the induction of different organogenic programmes could be correlated with differences in starch accumulation and protein electrophoretic pattern. The cytohistological changes in explants over the first 15 days of culture were studied by light and electron microscopy. It was found that starch accumulation occurs under all conditions, though varying in duration and amount. Over the first 2 days of culture the protein electrophoretic pattern changes in a similar way under all conditions, while after 7 days changes take place which are probably related to the different developmental programmes induced by the treatments.
