Abstract

Microfloriculture refers to souvenirs and Living Room Ornaments made from the in vitro cultured ornamental plants, which are innovative, unique, environmentally friendly, and can be produced across the year. In vitro pitcher-forming Nepenthes mirabilis will increase the attractiveness and market value of microfloriculture products. Two experiments have been carried out to stimulate in vitro pitcher formation in N. mirabilis using a completely randomized design (CRD) of a two-factorial treatment pattern with three replicates. The first experiment tested different Murashige and Skoog (MS) media formulations (full-strength, 3/4MS, 1/2MS, and 1/4MS) and phytagel concentrations (0, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 g l-1). The same media formulations and 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 μM) were tested in the second experiment. The results showed that the explants cultured on 1/4MS media produced the greatest number of shoots (3.83-8.25) and leaves (26.17-26.75), the earliest pitcher formation (27.75±2.06 days), the highest number of pitchers (6.50±2.65), and pitcher-forming leaves (23.30±5.10%). Liquid media enhanced leaves (28.33±4.97) and pitchers (6.42±3.36) formation as well as pitcher-forming leaves percentage (21.37±8.01%). A 1/4MS supplemented with 0.5 μM BAP maximized pitcher-forming leaves (21.08±7.78%) and pitcher number (5.67±2.52). Adding 1.5 μM BAP on 1/4MS media produced the highest number of leaves (38.67±5.69). Full-strength MS produced the lowest number of shoots, leaves, pitchers, and pitcher-forming leaves. This study developed an affordable and effective method to improve in vitro pitcher development in N. mirabilis, highlighting how nutrient levels and BAP concentration influence pitcher formation, which aids in optimizing culture techniques for ornamental carnivorous plants.

Abstract

The pitcher plant (Nepenthes mirabilis (Lour.) Druce) is a unique plant listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Appendix II and is protected in Indonesia. Conventional propagation of N. mirabilis is difficult and takes a longer time. Therefore, in vitro culture method is proposed. This study aimed to determine the best and most economical media formulation and agar concentration for N. mirabilis micropropagation. This research has been carried out experimentally using a completely randomized two-factor factorial design. The first factor was the media formulation (full-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS), half-strength MS, half-strength MS + AB mix, and AB mix) and the second factor was agar concentrations (6, 8, and 10 g l-1). Twelve treatment combinations were obtained and repeated 5 times to produce 60 experimental units. The explants were apical microshoots (1.5 cm long with 5 leaflets). The cultures were incubated at 24 ℃ under continuous light for 16 weeks. The parameters measured included shoot emergence time, number of shoots, number of leaves, and shoot length. The data were analyzed using variance analysis followed by Duncan’s multiple range test at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that half-strength MS medium resulted in the highest number of shoots and leaves and the longest shoot length, whereas adding 8 g l-1 agar resulted in the fastest shoot emergence time. Half-strength MS medium solidified with 8 g l-1 agar could produce many N. mirabilis (Lour.) Druce microshoots to support both conservation and microfloriculture development.
