Abstract

The strategy to produce high quality seedling of Sumatra Benzoin (Styrax benzoin Dryander) is very urgent as a technique to provide seedling for industry and forestry purposes in Indonesia. The limitation number of good quality seedling becomes the main problem because generative propagation is the only strategy that has been conducted to produce Styrax benzoin seedling, which are obtained naturally grown from the seed around the mature styrax trees. Micropropagation is an alternative to produce good quality seedling of Sumatra Benzoin. The study is aimed to obtain optimum conditions for micropropagation of Sumatra Benzoin as a step in the production of styrax seedling for forestry purposes. The study is performed in a completely randomized design with using the concentrations of growth stimulators NAA (0 - 3 mg/L) and BAP (0 - 3 mg/L). The results showed that growth stimulator influenced the growth of the calli. The NAA and BAP was effective to induce calli of the benzoin in culture medium. The concentration combination of 3 mg/L NAA and 3 mg/L BAP was the best condition to obtain the heaviest callus. The micropropagation step obtained in this study is promising for mass production of Styrax benzoin seedling.
