Abstract

Nepenthes reinwardtiana Miq. is an endemic species distributed in Sumatra and Kalimantan and classified as least concern due to the lack of recent research data on its abundance and distribution. Excessive exploitation, deforestation, the long time required to reach the generative phase, and the dioecious flowering type have caused a population decline. Plant propagation through cuttings can support conservation activities. The success of cuttings is determined by the concentration of plant growth regulators (PGR), making studies on PGR concentration important. This research aimed to determine the best indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentration for inducing roots and shoots in N. reinwardtiana. The study was conducted from February to October 2023. The research was arranged based on a completely randomized design with IBA concentration treatments consisting of 5 levels: 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg L-1. The results showed that there was no significant effect of IBA on all variables. However, 5 mg L-1 IBA gave the best responses on shoot height increase (10.9 cm), leaf number increase (5.0 leaves), and root length (8.7 cm). These findings suggest that the growth of N. reinwardtiana cuttings may rely heavily on endogenous auxin levels, reducing the observable effects of exogenous IBA application. The non-significant results highlight the potential of this species to thrive without external auxin under certain conditions, which could simplify propagation protocols.

Abstract

The titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum (Becc.)), an endangered and endemic flora from the island of Sumatra, faces a significant risk of extinction. Conservation efforts for the titan arum were undertaken, including in vitro conservation through tissue culture. The study aimed to determine the optimal concentration of the growth regulator Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) for inducing shoot formation in titan arum and to observe cellular changes during the shoot stage through histological test. This research was conducted from November 2023 to March 2024 at the Tissue Culture Laboratory, Andalas University. The experiment was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatment levels: 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 ppm.  Data analysis was performed using an F-test at a 5% significance level. If the F-test showed significant differences, further testing was carried out using Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. Meanwhile, data on explant rooting percentage and root count were presented as means and standard deviations. Results indicated that various concentrations of BAP could induce shoots formation of Amorphophallus titanum Becc., with the percentage of explants forming shoots reaching 80–95%.  The concentration of 5.0 ppm BAP was the most effective, yielding the highest average number of shoots at 7.80. Histological test revealed cell enlargement at the shoot tips. This research is pivotal for the conservation of titan arum and promotes further studies in in vitro culture techniques.
