Abstract

Dendrobium peguanum Lindl. is a small orchid that distributes in India, Nepal, Myanmar, and Thailand. This research aimed to use tissue culture technique with some plant growth regulators for in vitro propagation. After pollination, seed pods of D. peguanum Lindl. were harvested at 6, 8, 10 and 12 week. Seeds viability were evaluated by lacto - propionic orcein staining, and then they were culture on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) without plant growth regulator. It was found that 6 - week - old seed pods could not germinate while those at 12 - week - old could germinate well. After that, seedlings were subcultured onto ½ MS medium containing some plant growth regulators i.e. α - naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 6 - benzylaminopurine (BA), kinetin, and coconut water. It was found that plants grown on media with NAA 0.5 and 1.0 ppm at 120 days had better growth in term of height than other treatments, but number of shoot per plant was not differ.
