Abstract
Tissue culture is a plant propagation technique in which plant parts such as cells, tissues, organs or the whole plant are isolated under aseptic conditions. The aim of this study is to find the best sterilization technique for tissue culture of string beans. This study was conducted in tissue culture laboratory of Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sriwijaya. The treatments consisted of 6 sterilization methods, each of which consisted of a combination of different sterilizing agents (fungicide, detergent, bleach solution, and alcohol) and the duration of sterilization. Based on the results, it was found that treatment S4 with a 0.2% fungicide for 15 minutes, followed by a detergent for 3 minutes, a 20% bleach solution (with a sodium hypochlorite active ingredient of 5.25%) for 20 minutes, and 70% alcohol for 10 minutes provided the best results, as evidenced by a relatively lower percentage of contamination and a higher percentage of live explants compared to the other treatments.
