| Summary: | Curcuma caesia Roxb. is a species belong to genus Curcuma, under family Zingiberaceae.
It is called ‘Kunyit Hitam’ (Malay), Kala haldi (Bengal), Manupasupu (Telugu) and
Lampuyangdorac (Visayan). It is a non – native plant in Malaysia. The present study was
to determine the effect of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg/L of 2,4- Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)
alone, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg/L of 2,4- Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in combination
with 0.5 mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 mg/L of picloram
alone on callus induction and development. Leaves, roots and stems of C.caesia were used
as explants and were cultured on half strength solid MS medium. The highest mean
number of callus formed was 3.44 ± 0.98 in 2.5 mg/L of picloram. While, 1.33 ± 0.46 in
2.0 and 4.0 mg/L of 2,4 – D. Then, in the effect of 2,4 D in combination with BAP, the
highest mean number of callus formed was 1.99 ± 0.67 in 1.0 mg/L 2,4 D with 0.5 mg/L
BAP and 3.0 mg/L 2,4 – D with 0.5 mg/L BAP. |
