RESPON EKSPLAN BIJI GAHARU (AQUILARIA MALACCENSIS LAMK.) TERHADAP PEMBERIAN IAA SECARA IN VITRO
ABSTRACT: Agarwood (Gaharu) is
an important non-timber forest products and has high economic value. The
agarwood is the final product obtained from species A.malaccensis Lamk as raw
material for the pharmaceitical and cosmetic industries. Increasing of the
gaharu collection and international market circulation have resulted in the
decline of the gaharu. The presence of gaharu in nature endangered triggers to
do multiplication aloes one with tissue
culture technique. This research aims to determine the response of seed
explants A.malaccensis and determine the concentration of the best growth
regulator. This research used a Complete Random Design (RAL) with Growth Regulator IAA in any concentrates with
agarwood seed explants. The results showed that giving of IAA growth regulator
that responds to the growing sprouts. Treatment concentration of IAA
significant to the time sprouts appear but not significant on the appearance of
sprouts, number of leaves and sprouts length. Emerging sprouts fastest time
occurred in the treatment of 6 ppm IAA 9 days after planting.
