- Abstract
Talinum paniculatum root is efficacious like Korean ginseng. Local pharmaceutical industries use this root to substitute Korean or Chinese ginseng root. The yield of traditional cultivation has not been fulfilled market demand. Cultivation using cuttings in aeroponic is potential to produce roots fastly. Hormones such as auxin and ethylene are internal factors that important to formation and growth of root cuttings. Therefore, this study aims to obtain the best combination of Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and ethephon for root biomass of T paniculatum using cuttings in aeroponic. Various concentrations of IBA and ethephon were tested. The results showed root formation of T paniculatum cuttings was depended auxin and ethylene. Both IBA and ethephon were affected and interacted significantly to emergence time, number, length, biomass weight and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content of roots. Application of both hormones improved IAA content and number of roots. Optimum concentration for number of roots was reached by combination of 4 mgL a IBA and 0 mgL a ethephon. High IBA showed inhibition to root. Low levels of IAA as results of ethephon treatment promoted the formation and growth of roots. Finally, a combination of 0 mgL 1 IBA and 1 mgl-1 ethephon was selected for producing roots biomass. This combination produced fresh weight of root biomass 1.5 times compared to control. Ethephon application is more profitable. However, its implications on the secondary metabolite content of T paniculatum may need to be known for further research.
