	<span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The residual effects
of sucrose concentrations (80 or 100 g¡¤L<sup>-</sup></span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">) and hormonal treatments (BAP

and Odessa, are described.</span></span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">After 3 weeks of incubation at 28¡æ</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> ¡À 1¡æ</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, 70% of Aida microtubers variety, previously
formed in the MT2 medium [MS/2 + 80 g¡¤L<sup>-</sup></span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup></span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Sucrose], germinated.
The best germination rate for varieties Atlas (100%) and Odessa (66.66%) was obtained
on microtubers previously formed in the medium MT2 [MS/2 + 100 g¡¤L<sup>-</sup></span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Sucrose]. The addition of hormones in the tuberization medium allowed optimizing
the microtubers germination of the Aida variety unlike the other varieties. Indeed,
for the Aida variety, the combination M5 [Kin 2.5 mg¡¤L<sup>-</sup></span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup></span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">+ Coum 0.025 mg¡¤L<sup>-</sup></span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> + Sucrose 80 g¡¤L<sup>-</sup></span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">]</span><sup> </sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">increased the germination rate from 70%
up to 93.33%. The best germination rate (90%), noticed with microtubers of Atlas
variety, initially formed in M2 medium [Kin 1 mg¡¤L<sup>-</sup></span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> + BAP 1 mg¡¤L<sup>-</sup></span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup></span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-US\"
