INDUKSI EMBRIOSOMATIK ANGGREK Vanda tricolor DENGAN PERLAKUAN 2,4-D DAN TDZ PADA MEDIUM NDM CAIR
Abstract
Vanda tricolor orchids are endemic plants that live on the slopes of Mount
Merapi. The use of plant growth regulator for in vitro multiplication can affect the
growth of orchid bud explants. This study aimed to determine the best
combination of 2,4-D and TDZ in the growth of Vanda tricolor orchids. This
research has been carried out in the In Vitro Laboratory of the Faculty of
Agriculture, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in December 2018. This
research was arranged in a single-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD)
consisting of 6 treatments namely 0 mg/ℓ 2,4-D + 0 mg/ℓ TDZ (control); 0 mg/ℓ
2,4-D + 0,5 mg/ℓ TDZ; 2 mg/ℓ 2,4-D + 0 mg/ℓ TDZ; 2 mg/ℓ 2,4-D + 0,5 mg/ℓ
TDZ; 4 mg/ℓ 2,4-D + 0 mg/ℓ TDZ; 4 mg/ℓ 2,4-D + 0,5 mg/ℓ TDZ. Each treatment
consisted of 3 replications, each replication consisted of 3 samples so that the
total number was 54 units. The results showed that the medium, without 2,4-D and
TDZ gave the best influence on the parameters of callus emergence 2 weeks,
percentage of callus explants (22.22%), and pro-embryos emergence (2 weeks).
