总结: | Piper betle L., an evergreen perennial climber from the family Piperaceae, is an
important medicinal plant in Malaysia. Despite its importance, knowledge on its
propagation is still lacking. The present study was conducted to explore the feasibility
of in vitro and in vivo systems of propagation. Sterilization of explants prior to in vitro
procedures was carried out in 20% Clorox for 20 minutes. In vitro culture medium
with 1.0 mg/L BAP was the best medium for shoot production. The study also
examined in vivo rooting of cuttings and growth performance as affected by different
indole 3 butyric acid (IBA) treatments and different nitrogen rates (0, 50 100, 150
kg/ha) and shade levels (0%, 30% and 50 %). Morphological parameters were
recorded at 30, 60 and 90 days after planting. Semi-hardwood cuttings treated with
2000 mg/L IBA showed the best rooting performance (100%). Plants were
significantly taller in treatment at 50 % shade and 100 kg N /ha. At first (H1), second
(H2) and third (last) (H3) harvests, maximum height for each harvest was recorded at
70, 105.67 and 184.67 cm respectively. The number of branches was highest at 26.00
from H3, followed by H2 (10.33) and H1 (6.00). The number of leaves from H1, H2
and H3 harvests were 18.00, 46.33 and 171.00 respectively. The total leaf area
recorded from H1, H2 and H3 were 653.17, 4108.28 and 10401.17 cm2 respectively.
The fresh weight of leaves were recorded at 18.12 g (H1), 91.07 g (H2) and 185.15 g
(H3), while the dry weight of leaves were recorded at 21.55 g (H3) 10. 91 g (H2) and
2.40 g (H1), significantly higher at 30 % shade with 100 kg N/ha. With respect to
physiological parameters, photosynthesis (PR) and transpiration (TR) rates and
stomatal conductance (SC) increased with increasing light intensity with treatment at
30 % shade and 100 kg N/ha giving the highest PRof 10.13 μmol CO2 / m2 /s, SC 0.13
mol/m2/s dan TR 1.60 μmol/m2/s. Chlorophyll content (a and ab) did not show any
significant difference in the 30% and 50 % shade levels (1.55 and 1.49 mg/cm2) but
was highest at 100 kg N/ha (1.76 mg/cm2). Chlorophyll b was highest at 50% shade
which suggests that chlorophyll-a biosynthesis in relation to chlorophyll-b was significant in low light intensity. Total phenolic content (TPC) (highest at 1.19 mg
(GAE)/g), total flavonoid content (TFC) (highest at 128.13 mg Quercetin/g) and
antioxidant activities (DPPH) (highest at 85.15%) and FRAP 7.87 μmol Fe(ll)/g dry)
were highly significant in the control treatment. |
