Description
Previous studies from this series have indicated the variability reached in respect to yields and quality of the king grass clones obtained by in vitro tissue culture. The study of the photosynthetic pigments could contribute to explain the performance of these somaclones in respect to their growth and development. Thus, the objective of the present experiment was to learn the content and variation of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids.
