Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of sucrose concentrations: of 3%, 6%, and 9% together with or without two different supplementary matters: activated charcoal (0.01%) and coconut dust (10%) on in vitro growth and corm induction of Gladiolus hybrida when cultured for 5 weeks. The objective was to investigate the optimal culture media for corm production in long-term culture. The results showed that shoots grown on MS medium with the addition of 10% coconut dust at any sucrose concentrations had a high percentage of corm induction, ranging from 72 to 88. The treatment of 6% sucrose supplemented with 0.01% activated charcoal and 10% coconut dust yielded the highest corm induction percentage (88%) after being cultured for 5 months. Therefore, the optimum medium for corm induction of Gladiolus hybrida was MS medium supplemented with 6% sucrose, 0.01% activated charcoal, and 10% coconut dust.
