Dynamics of sugars and starch contents. Three-week-old in-vitro plants were transferred onto a liquid medium with 5% sucrose and further cultured for seven days. (A, B) Sucrose, glucose and fructose contents in stems of (A) Lada and (B) ST plants; (C) Total soluble sugar contents in stems of Lada and ST plants; (D) Starch contents in stems and leaves of Lada and ST plants two and five days after the transfer; the histograms represent the mean +SD from 3 to 6 replicates per sample; suc, sucrose; glu, glucose; fru, fructose; * and ** = significantly different from the corresponding organs of control (Lada) at 0.01 ≤ P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively, according to Student's paired t-test.
