Abstract
Fingerroot, belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, is a rhizome plant which has the characteristics of a rhizome growing vertically downward. Fingerroot contains panduratin A compound which has biological effects, such as analgesics, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidants. Fingerroot production decreased by 24.46% from 2014-2016. This constraint is caused due to the decrease in the supply of its and because nurseries only rely on yields so that propagation is done through tissue culture. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of MS media and sucrose on the growth of fingerroot buds in vitro so as to increase fingerroot production. This research was conducted in the Laboratory of Horticultural and Various Plant Seed Development Center Pasir Banteng. The method used in this study is a complete random design consisting of 2 factors, the first factor is MS media (¼ MS, ½ MS dan 1 MS) and the second factor is sucrose (15 gL-1, 20 gL-1, 25 gL-1), repeated 3 times. The results showed that ¼ MS and 20 gL-1 sucrose media produced a growth response of healthy and green fingerroot buds with 1.2 cm height.
