Abstract

Sumatra Benzoin (Styrax benzoin Dryander) is one of the forest trees that need attention, especially in increasing the production of non-timber forest products. The benzoin sap contains bioactive compounds which are used in medical and cosmetics ingredients. One strategy that can be done to increase the production of benzoin sap is through providing good quality mother plant for in vitro propagation. The aim of this study is to select good quality mother plants with high production of benzoin sap to be used as sources of explants for in vitro propagation of the Sumatra Benzoin, as a strategy to provide good quality seedling for industry and forestry purposes in Indonesia. The study is carried out in the forest area at Kabupaten Pakfak Bharat, North Sumatera Indonesia. The procedures are consisted of identification and selection of healthy Styrax benzoin trees that producing high quantity and good quality benzoin sap. Identification is carried out based on phenotype appearance and the selection was done through production forensic given by the incense farmers in the forest area. Good quality mother plants of Sumatra Benzoin (Styrax benzoin Dryander) have been obtained at different forest locations. The selected parent trees grown well and fertile, healthy and producing very good quality incense sap. The selected trees are suited to be used as a source of explants for in vitro propagation of Sumatra Benzoin (Styrax benzoin Dryander) as a strategy to obtain good quality plant seedling
