One of the challenges related to propagation of Arenga pinnata is its lengthy period of seed dormancy. In this study, in vitro regeneration was carried out to determine the effect of hormonal treatment on the embryo explant of Arenga pinnata. Embryos were surface sterilized and cultured into different media supplemented with various hormones concentrations and combinations. Each treatment contained of Kinetin (KN) hormone (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 mg/l) and in combination with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mg/l. The height of plumule and length of radical was observed and recorded. Treatment 8 (3 mg/ml KN + 0.1 mg/ml IAA) showed 59.09% in plumule height increment while treatment 4 (1 mg/ml KN + 0.3 mg/ml IAA) showed the highest radical increments with 93.62%. The knowledge gained in this study consequently helps us to better understand the role of KN and IAA in the in vitro regeneration protocol. Since in vitro method able to produce higher number of in vitro seedlings at one time, it is important to establish the in vitro regeneration protocol for this plant.
Remediation has recently received a lot of attention to combat or deal with contaminated soil, water, or air. There are a few types of remediation technologies, such as microbiological remediation and phytoremediation, in which microbial remediation uses microorganisms as the agent, while phytoremediation uses flowers as the agent. H.psittacorum is a flower with phytoremediation and ecologically favorable potential. The study is aimed at learning more about the microorganisms that could help improve soil and water quality. Microbiological remediation uses microorganisms as the agent, while phytoremediation uses flowers as the agent to overcome contamination problems. H.psitacorum was found to be able to remove copper, zinc, and phosphorus from soil and groundwater. As a result, H.psittacorum’s phytoremediation capacity was measured in soil and root samples. Microorganism awareness within the root pattern increased to 4.4 × 109 cfu/ml, whereas the soil pattern increased to 1.5 × 109 cm/ml. The concentration and identity of bacteria in roots and soil revealed information about these bacteria’s ability to remove pollutants, while the water quality assessment demonstrated H.psitacorum’s potential. These seven bacteria have been identified as having a historical mechanism that has proven to be effective in removing, transferring, and stabilizing pollutants. In addition, a water quality assessment demonstrated H.psitacorum’s phytoremediation potential reduced copper, zinc, and phosphate concentrations in the water from 0.64 to 0.068 mg/l, and 0.513mg/l to 0. The concentration and identity of bacteria in roots and soil revealed information about these bacteria’s ability to remove pollutants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
