Leaf yellowing or petal senescence is the main postharvest disorder for many cut flowers. Plant hormones such as cytokinins are able to inhibit leaf yellowing in some cut flowers and potted plants. In our experiments, we applied thidiazuron aiming to delay leaf yellowing and 1-methylciclopropene (1-MCP) for inhibiting flower senescence of cut stock flowers during vase life. Cut flowers were pul...

Melia volkensii Gurke is a drought-tolerant tree native to East Africa's arid and semiarid lands (ASALs), with vast but underutilized potential for agroforestry and sustainable livelihoods in the ASALs. Its cultivation is limited by difficulties in propagation via conventional means. Full exploitation of the ability of thidiazuron (TDZ) to elicit regeneration in plant tissue cultures, as sole p...

AbstrakTanaman anggrek banyak digemari oleh masyarakat karena keanekaragamannya. Jenis yang paling populer adalah Dendrobium sp. Namun pertumbuhan tanaman cenderung lambat masa juvenil lama dan proses fotosintesis rendah. Oleh itu, upaya percepatan sangat diperlukan. Salah satunya aplikasi naungan zat pengatur tumbuh (ZPT). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan persentase jenis ZPT terbaik...

Abstract In vitro flowering is a technique used in genetic improvement that accelerates generations and favors the faster fixation of new traits agronomic market interest. The study aimed to establish protocol for Dendrobium nobile, through combined temperature growth regulator thidiazuron (TDZ) effects. Experiments was performed flask kept BOD incubator at 18, 21, or 24 °C room 26 °C. TDZ conc...
