Chrysanthemum is one of the most important Indonesia flowers, that which has always been developed in various plant breeding studies, including the development of synthetic seed encapsulation methods.Encapsulation is a technology on enclosed any meristematic plant tissue in a protective and nutritive matrix under in vitro or in vivo environmental conditions, also after transport and/or storage. The study were aimed at developing a method of encapsulating shoot tip and nodal segments of Chrysanthemum that can be used for plant propagation and as explants for short-term storage. Shoot tip and nodal segments of Chrysanthemum were used as explants for synthetic seed. The Murashige & Skoog (MS) basal medium was prepared with 30 g sucrose and 4% of sodium alginate added with growth regulator (IBA) and Coconut Water (CW). The explants droplets, each containing one shoot tip, were then maintained in 2% CaCl2 solution for polymerization. The seeds that have been formed were rinsed with distilled water sterile 3 times and dried at room temperature. The synthetic seeds were germinated on MS basal medium, without any plant growth regulators. Encapsulated seeds had a higher germination percentage in MS salt solution as the gel matrix supplemented with 150 ml/L coconut water. The viability of synthetic seeds was decrease on 4 weeks storage period, compared to the 1, 2 and 3 week's storage period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
