PERTUMBUHAN TUNAS MAHKOTA NANAS (ANANAS COMOSUS (L.) MERR) SECARA IN VITRO DENGAN PENAMBAHAN EKSTRAK TOMAT (SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUML.) DAN BENZYL AMINO PURIN (BAP)
ABSTRACT: The pineapple
(Ananas comosus (L.) Merr) can be propagated in vitro in order to obtain large
quantities of plants and to produce plants similar to the parent using a plant
growth regulator i.e.extract of tomato and BAP. The research aimed to find out
the effect of tomato extract and the BAP and the best concentration for the
growth of crown shoots of the pineapple (A. comosus). This research was
conducted for 5 months from March to August 2015 at the Laboratory of Tissue Culture of the Aloe Vera Center
Pontianak. This research used a completely randomized factorial design (CRD)
with 2 treatments. The first factor was the tomato extract (0%; 5%; 10%; 15%)
and the second factor BAP (0 M; 10-5 M; 10-6 M; 10-7 M). The research findings
indicated that the single factor of tomato extract and BAP had no significant
effect on the number of shoots and leaves. The single factor of tomato extract
and BAP had a significant effect on the time for the shoot to appear. The
longest time it took for the shoot to appear was 37.83 days on the treatment of
the tomato extract 15%, and 36.33 days in the treatment of BAP 10-7 M.
