Abstract. Setiaji A, Annisa RRR, Santoso AD, Kinasih A, Riyadi ADR. 2021. Review: Factors affecting mass propagation of Vanda orchid in vitro. Cell Biol Dev 5: 51-62. For the past decade, Vanda has been the primadonna of ornamental orchids in the south and southeast Asia, along with Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium. Along with the increase in demand for Vanda, this genus has faced several threats, from illegal collection to habitat loss. Therefore, mass propagation through in vitro culture is a promising strategy to ensure sustainable business in horticulture and conservation. This review provides an overview and synthesizes various Vanda in vitro culture literature. We showed the researchers' preferences on several aspects for growing Vanda, including species, basal medium, plant growth regulators, explant, and culture conditions. The most commonly used as explants are seeds or protocorms, growing on Murashige & Skoog or Vacin & Went medium. This medium can be added banana homogenate to increase its nutritional value. Vanda seedlings can be incubated at 25 ± 1-3oC, with a lighting intensity of 50 ?mol m-2 s-1 at 12/16 h PP. Choosing a medium that is cheaper but still rich in nutrients and its additives, especially during the subculture phase; selecting explants that are responsive and minimizing the possibility of contamination; as well as seeing the target market in particular, can make Vanda's propagation efforts more effective, efficient, and profitable.

Plant callus extracts are potential to be developed as ingredient in skincare products. Tomato callus is supposed to contain protein-derivatives and or other components such as secondary metabolites that play a role in skin regeneration. Therefore the production of calli is important to be studied for callus sustainable supply. This research aims to obtain optimum medium for callus induction and to analyze tomato callus development anatomically. In vitro culture response was assessed in tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum L. ‘Permata’) for optimum callus induction. Seeds were grown on ¼ MS medium for 10-15 days. Hypocotyl was excised and cultured on MS medium + 2 mg/l 2,4-D for 15 days as the explants for callus induction. Callus was transferred to MS medium with 8 variations of PGRs including the combination of BAP + NAA, and 2,4-D. Both fresh and dry weight was measured every 5 days over 60 days to establish the growth kinetics and growth efficiency of callus. Anatomic characters of calli were examined through paraffin-embedded method. The result showed of MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l NAA and 0.2 mg/l BAP is optimum for tomato callus induction, based on highest number of the absolute growth rate on fresh weight (73.77% per day), dry weight (3.84% per day), and callus initiation time (5.56 days) achieved by the medium. Cells in the ground tissue of tomato hypocotyl are competent to be dedifferentiated into a callus. This research results were expected to find out suitable methods for tomato callus production in preparation for skincare uses.

ABSTRAKTanaman anggrek (Orchidaceae) telah menjadi komoditas penting di pasar perdagangan internasional karena keeksotisan dan daya tahan bunganya. Meskipun keragaman anggrek spesies menduduki peringkat kedua setelah Asteraceae dan hibridanya menduduki peringkat pertama, namun anggrek menghadapi ancaman kepunahan dan penurunan kualitas genetik. Program pemuliaan, seperti persilangan dan penyisipan gen unggul, serta perbanyakan in vitro perlu didukung dengan cara memastikan ketersediaan eksplan. Dalam rangka penyimpanan untuk kebutuhan jangka panjang, eksplan dapat disimpan menggunakan teknik kriopreservasi. Review ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran umum terhadap kemajuan penelitian di bidang kriopreservasi, khususnya tanaman anggrek. Melalui program penyimpanan jangka panjang, gen-gen dan eksplan unggulan baik untuk pengembangan anggrek hibrida atau khususnya untuk tujuan konservasi anggrek langka bisa dipastikan ketersediaannya. Dalam artikel review ini telah dibahas berbagai riset tentang teknik kriopreservasi pada biji, protokorm, dan serbuk sari anggrek. Kemajuan pengembangan teknik telah dicapai, namun masih diperlukan banyak modifikasi agar suatu protokol kriopreservasi dapat diterapkan pada semua spesies dan hibrida anggrek.Kata kunci: kriopreservasi; anggrek; suhu dingin; eksplan ABSTRACTOrchid plants (Orchidaceae) have become important commodities in the international trades market because of their exoticism and flower endurance. Although the diversity of orchid species is ranked second after Asteraceae and number of hybrids are ranked first, but orchids face the threat of extinction and genetic degradation. Breeding programs, including such as crossing and insertion of superior genes, and in vitro propagation need to be supported by ensuring the availability of explants. In the context of maintaining storage for long-term needs, explants can be stored using cryopreservation techniques. This review aims to provide an overview of the progress of research in the field of cryopreservation, specifically orchid plants. Through a long-term storage program, superior genes and explants both for the development of hybrid orchids or in particular for the purpose of conservation of rare orchids can be ensured availability. In this review article various researches on cryopreservation techniques in seeds, protocorms, and pollen have been discussed in this article. Advances in technical development have been achieved, but many modifications are still needed so that a cryopreservation protocol can be applied to all orchid species and hybrids.Keywords: cryopreservation; orchids; cold temperatures; explants
