Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Artificial seed production technique for Carica papaya L. var Eksotika is considered as a valuable alternate technology of propagation. Limited availability of the elite genotypes apprehends the utility of the C. papaya L. var Eksotika plants, for industrial use and ecological improvement. Therefore, development of an efficient method for C. papaya L. var Eksotika artificial seeds production by encapsulation of micro shoots in sodium alginate matrix were produced. Artificial seeds of C. papaya L. var Eksotika were produced by encapsulated micro shoots of C. papaya L. varieties Eksotika propagated in vitro. The production of artificial plant seeds of this species offered ideal beads based upon stiffness, texture, size and shape of beads. It was found that 4% sodium alginate and harden in two hundred millimolar CaCl2.2H2O solution produced optimum beads with stiff, clear, round and homogeneous size for 30 minutes among the concentrations tested.
