Establishment of sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) shoot from zygotic embryo in MS medium sumpplemented with different concentrations of benzylaminopurine

Arenga pinnata is one of the potential crops which provide a great number of products such as ethanol, starch and fiber. This plant usually propagated by seed but its seed growth is unpredictable and may take more than one year to germinate. The study was conducted with aim to obtain plantlets thr...
