Kajian elongasi dan aklimatisasi pada kultur in vitro Aquilaria beccariana van Tiegh

Abstract

The world's demand of eagleivood and its derivate product since 1970's. Based on BPS (2000) in Asgarin (2002), indonesian export have reached a peak in 2000 in a number of 456 tons. with the production value is US$ 2.2.00.000, then in the 2000-2002 have decreased significantly until 30 tons with the total ofproduction US $600.000 With a decrease of export capacity of eaglewood bring a new fact that in Indonesia for its density only <I tree per hectare, Soehartono and Mardiastuti (2003). In 2004, the CITES Co~nmissionh ave stated for trees that produce Gaharu genus Aquilaria and Gyrinops sp as a plant is Appendix 11 on CITES. The >ustainaule effort to keep gaharu with ex situ method have been done, but there are some obstacles on implementation. In vitro kulture is one ofthe alternative method for fastcn the recovey of Gaharu population in nature. This research is aim to gct the elongation method and optimal acclimatization for in vitro kulture with adding combination of auksin and sitokinin.
