PENGARUH BERBAGAI KONSENTRASI GLUTAMIN TERHADAPPERTUMBUHAN TUNAS Aquilaria malaccensis Lamk. SECARA KULTUR JARINGAN

Aquilaria malaccensis Lamk. is a typeof plant that is threatened with extinction due to the high level of illegal loggingfrom the forest. Tissue culture techniques provide an alternative to vegetative propagation on a large scale for conservation efforts. The addition of glutamine to the culture media was intended to increase the growth of A. malaccensisLamk shoots. The research was conducted with quantitative research methods using single factor laboratory experiments with four (4) treatments arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD). The treatments were differentiated based on the addition of glutamine, namely, G0: 0 mg/l; G1: 10 mg/l; G2: 20 mg/l; G3: 30 mg/l. Data analysis used Analysis of Variance (Anova) with a level of α = 5%. The results showed that glutamine could't affect the growth of A. malaccensisLamk, but there was the best trend in the addition of glutamine 20 mg/l
