Garlic potential in Indonesia to be low because the tubers as planting materials have been infected virus. Tissue culture generates plant virus free so the tuber production as healthy planting material. The role of media to the succes of tissue culture is very high. Although the available tissue culture media has nutrients contain, but for the growth of onion plantlets required additional nutrients such as yeast extract. Yeast extract contained enzyme, amino acids and vitamin needed by plant growth. The research aimed to study the effect of yeast extract on garlic plantlet growth in tissue culture. The use of yeast extract in tissue culture with MS medium for garlic explants does not increase the growth plantlet.
