Abstract

The vetiver plant, Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash, yields vetiver oil, which is a fixative for perfumes. It is vital to create improved vetiver plants by in vitro mutagenesis because the low quality of vetiver in Indonesia causes vetiver oil productivity to decline year after year. This study sought to determine how gamma radiation affected the development and reproduction of vetiver in vitro shoots. Gamma radiation was used to irradiate the in vitro vetiver shoots at doses of 0; 15; 30; 45; 60; and 75 Gy. The irradiated shoot explants were subsequently cultivated on medium containing MS + NAA 0.1 mg/L + BAP 1 mg/L during eight weeks. The outcomes demonstrated that in vitro shoot growth and multiplication were reduced by gamma radiation. With 50 shoots per explant, the percentage of explants generating shoots without radiation and with a low dose of 15 Gy was 100%. When exposed to moderate doses of 30–45 Gy, 60–68 percent of the explants survived and produced 13–25 shoots per explant. Less than 50% of explants survived high dosages of 60–75%, and less than 30% of explants developed shoots with fewer than 10 shoots per explant. The gamma-ray irradiation lethal dosage (LD50) for the survival rate of the shoots was 61 Gy.
