Abstract
Paraserianthes falcataria (L.) Nielsen locally known as Batai is a native tree in South East Asia. In Malaysia it has been widely planted because P. falcataria is a pioneer and fast-growing tree. The wood of P. falcataria has been used for furniture pulp veneer matches and light weight packing materials. The main objective of this study is to establish the micropropagation protocol of P. falcataria for commercial plantation purposes. In this study we used seeds as explants. Surface sterilized seeds were cultured on MS basal medium with two methods applied. After 2 weeks in culture it was observed that seeds soaked with hot water obtained 87 clean culture. After 4 weeks in culture 97 from clean culture obtained were germinated. They were cultured on the MS basal media containing a different concentration of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) for shoot multiplication. The most suitable medium for shoot multiplication was the MS basal medium containing 0.25 mg/L BAP. For the in vitro rooting shoots were rooted on half strength MS basal medium containing different concentration of Indole-butyric acid (IBA). After 4 weeks in culture the root multiplication rate with different IBA concentration was too low not as expected. To encounter the problem ex vitro rooting for P. falcataria was carried out together with acclimatization stage under nursery condition.
