Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of plant growth regulators and chitosan on micro-propagation of New Zealand sundew (Drosera adelae F. Muell.).  The 0.5 × 0.5 cm2 leaf explants of New Zealand sundew seedlings from 3-month-old were cultured on ½ MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) agar media with kinetin at concentrations of 0 0.1 and 0.2. mg/l together with 2, 4- D at 1, 3 and 5 mg/l concentrations for 5 weeks. From the results, it was found that leaf explants cultured on ½ MS agar media containing 0.2 mg/l kinetin with 1.0 mg/l 2, 4-D could induce compact callus induction 100% with average diameter of 15.60 mm and the maximum fresh weight of 0.36 g calluses. Then, the callus was cultured on ½ MS agar media containing with kinetin at the concentration of 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mg/l for 7 weeks. It was found that ½ MS media containing 0.4 mg/l kinetin could induce shoot well with an average shoot number 20.00 shoot/explant, average shoot height 1.30 centimeters, average number of leaves 4.80 per shoot and the average leaf length 1.90 centimeters. For root induction, the shoot explant was cultured on ½ MS media containing NAA at the concentration of 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0 mg/l for 7 weeks. From the result, it was found that ½ MS media containing 0.75 mg/l NAA promoted the induction of root well with the average root number 15.80 root/shoot. While the cultivation of callus on ½ MS media containing chitosan at 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 % v/v for 5 weeks, it was found that ½ MS agar media containing 0.8 % v/v chitosan could induce callus 100% and gave the average highest root number of 13.00 root/shoot.  Keywrods : chitosan ; in vitro ; plant growth regulator ; New Zealand Sundew ; Drosera adelae F.Muell
