Dionaea muscipula Fine Tooth X Red Propagation by Applying Tissue Culture Techniques: In Vitro Clonal Propagation

Abstract

In vitro clonal propagation or micropropagation is one of the plant tissue culture techniques that can rapidly propagate and clone stock plants. In this study, Dionaea muscipula fine tooth x red (DFXR), one of the carnivorous plants has been reproduced using micropropagation techniques which includes plant rescuing, subculturing, and acclimatization, along with maintenance of the plant. Through micropropagation, DFXR plants were successfully propagated and acclimatized, making the plants ready to be sold. Beginning at 50 stock DFXR plants obtained from INAGRO, 115 plants were produced, 45 of them were prepared to be marketed, and the other 70 will be ready in 2 weeks (29 December 2021).
