Response Growth of Explant Organs Seed of Red Dragon Fruit (Hylocerus polyrhizus) On MS Media (Murashige and Skoog) by Adding Kinetin And Sucrose
Abstract
Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is a plant that originates from Central and South America and is classified as a type of cactus. It belongs to the genus Hylocereus and the family Cactaceae. This research investigates the growth response of explant organs from red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media by adding kinetin and sucrose. The study was conducted in the UPT Seed Network Plant Food Horticulture Laboratory in Riau Province, located on Kaharudin Nasution Road, Crossroads Three Sub-district, Bukit Raya District, Pekanbaru City, for 4 months. This research This Design Random Complete (RAL) Factorial consists of 2 level treatment with three repetitions. The results of the study indicate that the concentrations of Kinetin and Sucrose have a significant impact on the observed parameters. The treatment with kinetin yielded the best results for the number of shoots, shoot height, and thorns compared to the control treatment without kinetin. Specifically, the average results were 1.47 shoots, a shoot height of 1.65 cm, and 16.83 thorns in the control group. In contrast, the treatment with 5 mg/L Kinetin produced an average of 3.50 shoots, while the treatment with 2.5 mg/L Kinetin resulted in a root length of 6.88 cm. For the Sucrose treatment, the optimal concentration was found to be 60 g/L, which resulted in an average of 1.42 shoots, a shoot height of 1.18 cm, and a root length of 7.64 cm. The treatment with 40 g/L Sucrose yielded an average of 10.94 thorns and 3.69 roots. The study also revealed a significant interaction between Kinetin and Sucrose, particularly affecting the number of thorns. The treatment with 2.5 mg/L Kinetin and 40 g/L Sucrose resulted in an average of 14.22 thorns, while the combination of 2.5 mg/L Kinetin and 20 g/L Sucrose produced an average root length of 8.65 cm. These findings provide valuable insights into the effects of Kinetin and Sucrose on the growth parameters of Hylocerus Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus polarizes).
