Abstract

Oil palm tissue culture protocols solid or liquid culture systems have been established for routine production of oil palm clonal plantlets. However the efficiency of callusing embryogenesis and conversion of embryoids still need to be improved. The manipulation of growth regulators is one of the approaches that can be used to address these problems. In this study it was observed that jasmonic acid JA was effective in inducing higher proliferation rate of rooty and nodular callus types. It could also enhance embryogenesis in friable callus type. Comparatively embryoids derived from pretreated calli 0.1 mg/l JA 0.1 mg/l alpha-Napthaleneacetic acid NAA produced more shoots after 3 months on MS basal media. These observations indicated that JA could be exploited for further research in the improvement of oil palm tissue culture process.
