Pengaruh Zat Pengatur Tumbuh (BAP dan IAA) terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Perkembangan Cabai Keriting (Capsicum annuum L.) secara In Vitro

Abstract

Curly red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the crops that are important and widely cultivated in Indonesia. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of the use of plant growth regulators BAP and IAA in various doses on the growth and development of curly red peppers in vitro. This research was conducted on March 2011 until October 2011 in Tissue Culture Laboratory Departement of Agronomy and Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Bogor Agriculture University. This research using Randomized Complete Design (RAL) with one factor, was plant growth regulators. The results showed that administration of combinations of growth regulators significantly influenced root induction, high growth, number of leaves, callus and shoot multiplication. P3 was very good treatment in inducing roots. P9 treatment effect was very evident in the high growth and induction of shoots. P4 was the best treatment in an increasing number of leaves. while for callus and multiplication, the best treatment was a very real P16.
