Effect of nanosilver on chlorophyll, gibberellic acid content and electrophoresis pattern of proteins of potato (Solanum tubersum L.) under in vitro culture

Improvement of growth and development of potato plant under in vitro culture is important. Ethylene is one of the phytohormones accumulating in the culture vessel and decreases the potato growth and development. In this study, the effect of nanosilver on chlorophyll content, gibberellic acid and total protein and electrophoresis pattern of protein of treated plants in MS medium suplemented with nanosilver (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 ppm) after 5 weeks were evaluated. Chlorophyll content did not show any significant difference compared with the control plant. Total protein was increased with increasing of nanosilver concentrations. Electrophoresis pattern of proteins showed some changes in 3 protein bands compared with untreated plants.
