Abstract
This study examined the application of somatic embryogenesis and ex vitro stem cutting techniques for production of high quality and virus-free Piper nigrum planting materials. The results indicated that MS medium supplemented with 0.05 mg/l TDZ and 1.0 mg/l IBA was best for embryo induction with a rate of 73.2% and MS medium containing 3 mg/l BA gave the highest rate of shoot forrmation (66,7%) from leaf callus after 60 and 28 days of culture, respectively. Cuttings taken from ex vitro plants produced healthy root system when watered 6 times daily. Plants raised from these cuttings thrived best when misted 3 times a day.
