Abstract

The research about callus induction of Aerides odorata L. by adding 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D), has been done from August to October 2018 in Plant Physiology and Tissue Culture Laboratory, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Andalas University, Padang. The aim of this research was found the effective consentration of 2,4-D to induce somatic embryo of A.odorata. The research used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 6 replications. The treatments were: 0 mg/L 2,4-D; 0,25 mg/L 2,4-D; 0,5 mg/L 2,4-D; 0,75 mg/L 2,4-D; 1 mg/L 2,4-D.
