| Summary: | ABSTRACT
More variable usage of peanut lead to increasing demand of peanut by year to year. At present, peanut national demand can not be met by domestic production. Regeneration of peanut plant through somatic embryogenesis is the most effective way for plant propagation. Somatic embryogenesis is an embryo development not resulted from fusion of gametes but from any somatic cell.
Research on peanut somatic embryogenesis so far is quite limited, so this research aimed to determine what combination of vitamin and sucrose is the most effective in promoting peanut somatic embryogenesis.
A 2 x 3 factorial experiment augmented was initiated in completely randomized design. The first factor, B5 and MS vitamin. The second one is sucrose concentration which ranged from 20, 30 and 40 e Collected data were subjected to an analysis of variance followed by mean separation based on Duncan's Multiple Range Test.
The result showed that application of B5 vitamin and 40 e sucrose produced somatic embryo at conciderable number in relatively short time and there is not any interaction between them.
Key words: Embryogenesis somatic, peanut, B5 vitamin and sucrose. INTISARI
