In vitro regenerated bulblets of Hyacinthus orientalis L., improved their size using MS medium containing different sucrose concentrations. The sucrose concentrations showed higher growth and better development of the bulblets on MS medium stored at 24°C. Sucrose showed the highest performance rate at 9 % concentration for both small and large bulblets. Sucrose treatments showed positive effects of induction of bulb diameter, number of shoots per bulb, shoot length and bulb weight in the culture medium.
