Abstract

In vitro plant Plant regeneration and callus induction using leaf explants of two Sundew species, D. spathulata Labill. and D. adelae F. Muell. were examined on semi-solid MS media with varied strength of concentration, MS, 1/2MS, 1/3MS and 1/4MS, for 8 weeks. The result found that leaf explants of D. spathulata Labill. cultured on 1/4MS media could be induced shoot and flowering as well as the highest average number of shoot and inflorescences. While the leaf explants cultured on 1/2MS media could be induced the root production with the highest average of root number and root length. For the leaf explants of D. adelae F. Muell. cultured on 1/4MS media, they could be induce shoots and roots production with the highest average number of shoot and root. To induce callus, the leaf explants were cultured on 1/4MS medium with varied 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/l BA, for 8 weeks. The leaf explants of both species cultured on 1/4MS media with 0.5 mg/l BA gave the best development of callus with the longest diameter and the highest fresh weight of callus, while the leaf explants cultured on 1/4MS media without BA plant growth regulators could be induced shoots and root production. When new shoot were cultured on the 1/4MS media with 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/l IBA, for 6 weeks, the shoot of D. spathulata Labill. cultured on 1/4MS with 1.5 mg/l IBA had the highest number average of root. While the shoot explants of D. adelae F. Muell. culturing on 1/4MS media containing 1.0 mg/l IBA had the highest number average of root.
