In-Vitro Shoot Induction of Pring Tutul (Bambusa maculata) through in Various Plant Growth Regulators (PGR)

Abstract

Bamboo is one of the plants in the family of grass (Poaceae). The need for bamboo is increasing, but it has not been matched with innovative cultivation. Thus the population of bamboo in nature is decreasing. Induction of bamboo shoot can be used as an alternative method for plant multiplication in a short time through tissue culture. Additional plant growth regulators such as Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) and Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) are needed to induce bamboo shoots. The data were analyzed using the R Statistics software. Furthermore, the results showed that Murashige & Skoog (MS) media with the addition of 1 ppm of BAP and 0.5 ppm of IBA (M5) was the best combination to induce the number of shoots, shoot height, leaves length, and number of leaves in pring tutul.
