CHARACTERIZATION OF MORPHOLOGY, ANATOMY AND CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT OF POTATO IN VITRO AND IN VIVO

Potato plants are horticultural crops of vegetables are widely used community for the nutrient content is high enough. Characterizaion of morphology and anatomy and chlorophyll content of plants grown in vitro is different from in vivo. The purpose of this study is to see characterization of morphology, anatomy and chlorophyll content of potato plants in vitro and in vivo. This research has been done on plants tissue culture laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture and the Basic Laboratory Andalas University, Padang from July to October 2019. Research of the experiment by observing the morphology, anatomy and chlorophyll content of the potato plant. Observations were made of the morphology of the potato plant in vitro and in vivo. For anatomical observations carried out with a microscope and chlorophyll test with a spectrophotometer. The results showed that there were differences in morphology, anatomy and chlorophyll content of the potato plant in vitro to in vivo. Stomata on the upper surface of the leaf are fewer than the bottom of the leaf. Chlorophyll content of the potato plant in vitro less than in vivo
