Effect of Growth Retardant ALARR on Some Anatomical and Chemical Changes in local Cultivar of Chrysanthemum morifolium
Keywords:
ALAR, Chrysanthemum, Chlorophyll content, Leaf diameter, Leaf thickness, Drought toleranceAbstract
The growth retardant ALAR was applied at different concentrations to
study its effects on some anatomical and chemical Changes in growing
stem cuttings of local cultivar of Chrysanthemum morifolium in terms of
leaf area, leaf thickness and chlorophyll content in additions to measuring
the ability of stem cuttings to resist drought conditions. The results
showed that treated leaves were normal in shape but, a reduction in the
leaves area have been achieved associated with darker green colour
(high amount of chlorophyll Content) with respect to the ALAR
concentrations applied. Treated plants showed some resistance to dry
conditions.
