Abstract

In vitro techniques could be applied for plant conservation through minimal growth. Growth reduction is generally attained by modifying the culture medium and/or the environmental condition. Conservation of St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) in vitro through dilution of basic medium was conducted at the Tissue Culture Laboratory of Indonesian Spice and Medicinal Crops Research Institute (ISMCRI) in 2018. Sterile shoots were cultured into Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium by reducing macronutrients. The treatments used were full-MS + 0.1 mg L-1 N6 - benzyladenine (BA) as control; ¾ MS + 0.1 mg L-1 BA; ½ MS + 0.1 mgL-1 BA and ¼ MS + 0.1 mg L-1 BA. Observation of the culture growth was conducted three months after the treatments. The experiment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design with ten replications. The result showed that the use of a dilution of basic medium affected the growth of St. John’s wort. The use of ¼ MS + 0.1 mg L-1 BA composition could suppress culture growth (number of shoots, shoots length and number of leaves), without showing necrotic symptom until three months of conservation. This treatment could be used as an alternative to minimize the culture of St. John’s wort for in vitro conservation.

Abstract

The use of planting materials from in vitro culture, especially derived from somatic embryos has some advantages such as  genetically stable and pathogen-free. Meristem culture of ginger through somatic embryogenesis could be a potential method for producing pathogen-free planting materials. Somatic embryogenesis on ginger was performed to obtain vigorous plantlets having the same rhizome size as the mother plant. Callus was induced from meristem tissue of inner bud of Indonesian ginger rhizome Var. Cimanggu-1 and consecutively subcultured into certain media at each steps of experiments. The vigorous embryogenic calli were observed  on MS medium containing 100 mgl-1 glutamine and 2% sucrose with addition of 1.0 mgl-1 2,4-D + 3.0 mgl-1 BA. The highest number of somatic embryos (about 82.0.g-1 friable calli) was achieved on that medium, 4 weeks after culturing. Furthermore, the optimum growth of embryogenic calli containing somatic embryo was obtained on MS medium enriched with 6% sucrose. The highest number of mature somatic embryos (57.2 embryos) was achieved on MS medium, 18 days after incubation. The regeneration potency of somatic embryos obtained from ginger meristem was 51.20%.g-1 friable callus. The valuable result of this study was the achievement of normal rhizome size of regenerated plantlets, instead of micro rhizome.
