| Summary: | The large-scale propagation of sentang CA. excelsa (Jack) Jacobs) through
seeds is impractical as the seeds are recalcitrant and they loose viability in a short
period Therefore this study sought to develop a protocol for the micropropagation of
sentang. It involved the determination of an appropriate sterilization technique, a
suitable explant to be used, appropriate medium and plant growth regulators for
shoot formation, multiplication and rooting, as well as estimating the rate of
multiplication. Means of solving problems of defoliation during rooting and shoot
elongation were also developed. A comparative study on the rootability of shoots
excised from the initial culture and final subculture was also conducted. |
