Abstract

The global trade value of Phalaenopsis is still promising; therefore, the prospects for future orchid agribusiness remain widely open. As a part of Indonesian new-variety registration, seeds of the registered variety must meet a quality standard within two years. In addition, a reliable, large-scale supply of uniform seeds is vital to the industry. Research on clonal propagation of Phalaenopsis orchids has been studied for the last three years, but the proliferation rate of PLBs remains unsatisfactory. This might be related to the relatively low temperature of the micro environment. Placing the cultures in the 'acclimatization' room provided with a conducive micro-environment resulted in a significant increase in PLBs/shoots (30-50/explant). It is assumed that the proliferation rate of PLBs/shoots can be increased by setting the optimum exposure time. Two temperature regimes were implemented; the first was a 29-32°C light condition (14 hours) followed by a 22–25°C 10-hour dark period, and the second was the opposite: cooler temperatures during the 14-hour light period (22-24°C) and warmer temperatures during the 10-hour dark period (25-28°C). In this paper, we present the results of an extensive three-year study on the multiplication of the Phalaenopsis orchid, leading to a much shorter orchid crossbreeding scheme.

Abstract

The Husk Tomato (Physalis angulata L.) has been valued as a medicinal plant due to its rich secondary metabolites. These compounds include physalins, which exhibit antitumor activity; withanolides, recognized as potent anti-inflammatory agents; and other components such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, and carotenoids. Despite its therapeutic potential, the commercial utilization of P. angulata remains limited by inconsistent fruit quality. This review summarizes current knowledge on Indonesian P. angulata germplasm, focusing on its botany, growth characteristics, genetic diversity, and metabolite profiles. Previous reviews mainly discussed botanical and pharmacological properties, whereas this review emphasizes Indonesian germplasm diversity and breeding perspectives. We critically evaluate several breeding strategies aimed at improving fruit quality, including the utilization of genetic resources, hybridization, mutation breeding, polyploidization, and in vitro techniques. Furthermore, we highlight the application of genetic engineering, particularly the overexpression of the squalene synthase (SQS) gene, suggesting that this approach could efficiently enhance the biosynthesis of squalene derivatives, such as physalins and withanolides. By evaluating the achievements and challenges of these strategies in P. angulata and other Solanaceae species, this review offers a roadmap for future research, aiming to maximize fruit quality and unlock the extensive biopharmaceutical applications of the Indonesian Husk Tomato.
