Patumma, a native of Thailand, is a new ornamental crop. Its increased demand for export make the species vulnerable to extinction. Cloning methodology is thus needed for the production of both existing and newly developed clone. Young inflorescent segment and lateral bud from rhizome can be used as explants. For decontamination of the lateral bud, the success was depended both on pre-treatment and disintestation procedure. The bud from dried rhizome was better than one from fresh rhizome. Prior to disinfestation with sodium hypochlorite, pre-treatment of rhizome in 52°C water for 5 minutes could replaced the use of antibiotic. Plantlet were placed on modified MS media with 0, 6.67, 13.32, 19.98 and 26.64 μmol/l benzyladenine (BA) or 0.19, 0.56, 1.67 and 5 μmol/l kinetin. The best multiplication rate of 4.83 fold was obtained when longitudinally-divided rhizome was on the medium with 13.32 μmol/l BA. The result also showed that wild-collected and selected clones responded to the media similarly. When the MS media modified with 13.32, 15.54, 17.76 and 19.98 μmol/l BA in combination with 15, 30 and 45 g/l sucrose were tested, the multiplication rate of non-divided plantlets were all the same. Acclimatization by open the culture vessel for 3 day improved plantlet survival rate ex vitro.

Shoot tip explants from in vitro germinated seedlings of Solanum capsicoides All. inoculated on MS containing 2 mg/l BA produced maximum shoot induction response (26 shoots per explant). Rooting of the microshoots (19.4 roots per explant) was obtained better in half strength of MS supplemented with NAA (0.5 mg/l). Well rooted plantlets were successfully hardened with 80 per cent survival rate.   Key words: Solanum capsicoides, Propagation, Therapeutic agent   D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v20i2.6912   Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 20(2): 179-184, 2010 (December)

In Africa and Asia, members of the genus Brachystelma are well-known for their diverse uses, especially their medicinal and nutritional values. However, the use of many Brachystelma species as a valuable resource is generally accompanied by the concern of over-exploitation attributed to their slow growth and general small size. The aim of the current study was to establish efficient micropropagation protocols for three Brachystelma species, namely Brachystelma ngomense (endangered), Brachystelma pulchellum (vulnerable) and Brachystelma pygmaeum (least concern), as a means of ensuring their conservation and survival. This was achieved using nodal segments (~10 mm in length) as the source of explants in the presence of different concentrations of three cytokinins (CK) namely N6-benzyladenine (BA), isopentenyladenine (iP) and meta-topolin riboside (mTR), over a period of 6 weeks. The highest (25 µM) concentration of cytokinin treatments typically resulted in significantly higher shoot proliferation. However, each species differed in its response to specific CK: the optimal concentrations were 25 µM mTR, 25 µM iP and 25 µM BA for Brachystelma ngomense, Brachystelma pulchellum and Brachystelma pygmaeum, respectively. During the in vitro propagation, both Brachystelma ngomense and Brachystelma pygmaeum rooted poorly while regenerated Brachystelma pulchellum generally lacked roots regardless of the CK treatments. Following pulsing (dipping) treatment of in vitro-regenerated shoots with indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), acclimatization of all three Brachystelma species remained extremely limited due to poor rooting ex vitro. To the best of our knowledge, the current protocols provide the first successful report for these Brachystelma species. However, further research remains essential to enhance the efficiency of the devised protocol.

Aklimatisasi merupakan masa transisi sebelum kultur in vitro dapat ditanam di lingkungan ex vitro. Di daerah tropis, stevia seyogianya ditanam di dataran tinggi. Pengembangan klon stevia yang sesuai untuk dataran rendah di kawasan tropis sangat penting untuk memungkinkan penggunaan mekanisasi pada pertanaman stevia yang luas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan pengaruh kondisi eksplan dan periode hardening terhadap daya hidup dan pertumbuhan pada tahap aklimatisasi dan pertumbuhan awal stevia klon BS 22 pada area terbuka di dataran rendah di wilayah tropis. Penelitian pertama dilangsungkan menggunakan umur tunas yang berbeda: 0, 1, 2, dan 3 minggu yang dikultur pada media padat sebagai sumber bahan eksplan. Penelitian kedua menggunakan satu buku stevia pada periode hardening dalam media cair selama 1, 4, 7 dan 10 hari. Aklimatisasi dilaksanakan dengan menanam eksplan dalam medium tumbuh campuran pada multi-tray dan diletakkan di dalam sungkup plastik tertutup selama 1 bulan. Tanaman yang berhasil hidup kemudian dipindah ke polibeg pada area terbuka dengan sinar matahari penuh. Pengamatan daya hidup dan pertumbuhan dilakukan pada akhir tahap aklimatisasi dan setelah 2 bulan di area terbuka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa eksplan umur 1 minggu yang dikultur pada media padat mempunyai daya hidup tertinggi yakni 83%. Buku tunggal stevia yang dikultur pada medium cair pada tahap hardening selama 4 hari meningkatkan daya hidup menjadi 97% selama aklimatisasi 1 bulan. Setelah aklimatisasi, tinggi tanaman secara rata-rata adalah 2,6 cm dengan 10,6 helai daun. Tanaman yang dipindah ke area terbuka tumbuh pesat dengan tinggi tanaman mencapai 12 cm dengan 30 helai daun dan daya hidup 63% setelah 2 bulan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa stevia klon BS 22 mungkin sesuai untuk dataran rendah di daerah tropis.  [Kata kunci: tanaman pemanis, eksplan tunas, tahap hardening, daya hidup, tropika] AbstractAcclimatization is a transition period before in vitro culture can be planted in ex vitro environment. In the tropical region, stevia is should be planted at high altitude areas. The development of stevia clones suitable for low land area in the tropics is important to make it possible to apply mechanization in a large scale stevia plantation. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of explant conditions and hardening period on survival rate and growth during acclimatization stage and early growth of stevia clone B 22 in an open area at low altitude area in the tropics. The first experiment was conducted using different shoot ages: 0, 1, 2 and 3 weeks cultured on solid media as an explant material source. The second experiment was using single node of stevia in different hardening periods in liquid media for 1, 4, 7 and 10 days.  Acclimatization was carried out by planting the explants on a mixture growing medium in multi-trays and placed inside a closed plastic tunnel for 1 month. The survival rate and growth parameters were observed at the end of acclimatization stage and after 2 months in the open area. The results show that 1-week explant age on solid media had the highest survival rate at 83%. Hardening single node of shoot in a liquid medium for 4 days increased the survival rate to 97% in 1 month acclimatization stage.  After acclimatization, the plant height on average was 2.6 cm with 10.6 leaves. The survived plants planted in an open area grew rapidly to 12 cm in height with 30 leaves and survival rate 63% within 2 months. It indicates that stevia clone BS 22 may suitable for a low altitude area in the tropics. [Key words: sweetener plant, shoot explant, hardening period, survival rate, tropics]

AbstractIn vitro culture through microcutting technology can be used for clonal propagation of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) rootstocks. Acclimatization of in vitro plantlets to ex vitro conditions is a major bottleneck in the micropropagation of many plants.This research was conducted to study the effect of plastic cover closed period and media composition on the survival rate of rubber plantlets. Plantlets derived from microcutting were planted on plastic pots containing a mixture of soil, cocopeat, dung manure, and sand or zeolite. The plantlets were then placed inside a closed transparent plastic cover that opened after 2, 3, 4 and 6 weeks. The cover was placed under tree canopy. The second experiment used the same media composition with or without cocopeat and with sand or zeolite. At 1.5 month after culture, observation was done on the number of survived plantlets, plantlet height and the percentage of rooted plantlets. The results show that the best coverclosed period was six weeks and the best growing medium was a mixture of soil, cocopeat, dung manure, and zeolite (6:2:1:1v/v). On the two combined treatments, the survival rate was 73.3% after 1.5 month of acclimatization. The use of zeolite and a higher soil percentage gave positive influences on rubber plantlet survival rate. The second experiment results confirmed that the use of zeolite was better than sand and the use of cocopeat was definitely needed. It can be concluded that the best of acclimatization of rubber plantlets from microcutting was on a medium mixture of soil, cocopeat, dung manure, and zeolite (6:2:1:1) and placed inside a closed plastic cover for six weeks before the cover was opened gradually. AbstrakKultur in vitro melalui teknologi microcutting dapat digunakan untuk perbanyakan klonal batang bawah tanaman karet (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.). Aklimatisasi planlet in vitro ke kondisi ex vitro merupakan hambatan utama pada mikropropagasi berbagai jenis tanaman. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mempelajari pengaruh lama penutupan sungkup plastik dan komposisi media tumbuh terhadap daya hidup planlet karet. Planlet karet asal microcutting ditanam pada pot plastik berisi media dengan berbagai campuran tanah, cocopeat, pupuk kandang, dan pasir atau zeolit. Planlet selanjutnya diletakkan di dalam sungkup plastik transparan tertutup rapat yang dibuka setelah 2, 3, 4 dan 6 minggu. Sungkup plastik diletakkan di bawah tajuk pepohonan. Percobaan kedua menggunakan komposisi media serupa dengan atau tanpa cocopeat dan dengan pasir atau zeolit. Pada umur 1,5 bulan, pengamatan dilakukan terhadap jumlah planlet yang hidup, tinggi planlet, dan persentase planlet yang berakar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lama penyungkupan terbaik adalah enam minggu dan media tumbuh terbaik adalah campuran tanah, cocopeat, pupuk kandang, dan zeolit (6:2:1:1 v/v). Pada kombinasi kedua perlakuan tersebut, daya hidup planlet karet mencapai 73,3% setelah 1,5 bulan aklimatisasi. Penggunaan zeolit dan persentase tanah yang lebih tinggi berpengaruh positif terhadap daya hidup planlet karet. Hasil percobaan kedua menegaskan bahwa penggunaan zeolit lebih baik daripada pasir dan penggunaan cocopeat mutlak diperlukan. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa aklimatisasi planlet karet asal microcutting terbaik dilakukan pada media campuran tanah, cocopeat, pupuk kandang, zeolit (6:2:1:1) dan diletakkan di dalam sungkup plastik tertutup selama enam minggu sebelum sungkup dibuka secara bertahap.

This paper discusses a method of micropropagation of Vaccinium corymbosum L. cv. Blue-Berry. The results showed that WPM supplemented with 1,0 mg/l of zeatin in combination with 0,1 mg/l of indolyl-3-butyric acid was more effective for the multiplication of blueberry axillary shoots. The maximum increase in the number of healthy axillary shoots was observed in the fourth subculture, whereas the phenomenon of hyperhydration (vitrification) began to appear in the fifth subculture. In addition, it was established that the presence of indolyl-3-butyric acid and 1,0 g/l of activated charcoal in the nutrient medium lead to the development of good root system of the Vaccinium corymbosum cv. Blue-Berry. The highest mean number of roots formed per explant was obtained on WPM medium, supplemented with 0,5 mg/l indolyl-3-butyric acid after 10 weeks. Acclimatization of in vitro regenerated plantlets of Vaccinium corymbosum with a developed root system in ex-vitro conditions (pH 3,5-4) showed a 100% survival rate.
