Abstract
Dracaena braunii is one of the priority ornamental plants. Dracaena ‘Sun Beam’ (NSIC 2014 Or 85) is a chlorophyll mutant of D. braunii developed by gamma irradiation (Cobalt-60 source) of 15-cm stem cuttings and registered by the DOST-PNRI with the National Seed Industry Council of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture (DA-BPI-NSIC) and to the Mutant Variety Database of the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations / International Atomic Energy Agency (FAO/IAEA) Program. In all aspects, D. ‘Sun Beam’ is similar to the parent material except for the shorter leaf and its broad bar. The propagation of the mutant is true-to-type by cutting (top cutting, stem cutting, and nodal cutting) and separation of suckers. D. ‘Sun Beam’ is very attractive and shoots or top cuttings may be used as cut foliage in flower arrangements or grown individually or in a group as containerized plants, materials for terrariums, dish gardens, and landscaping.
