abstract

This study sought to determine if Gamma radiation had

an effect on in-vitro cultured orchids in its regeneration

of a protocorm into plantlet within 20 days duration.. To

find the effects of gamma radiation in terms of weight,

development^ "the method used was experimental- procedure.

The design used in this study was Random Complete Block

Design.

The researchers' used Dendrobium Pattaya Beauty as a

subject of the study. Applying gamma radiation to change

the maturing time of the protocorm.

The researchers' findings about the study shows that

the average weights increase of each treatment/s in the

three (3) data observation after inoculation vary from

sample to sample. As can be seen in the table that the

average weight increase of dendrobium pattaya beauty

i i

protocorm does not have an obvious trend considering the

increase of gamma radiation on the different treatments.

It can be seen that the converted f average of 1.5 is

lower than the critical f value of 4.07 at 0.'05 level of

significance with the degree s of freedom of 3^8. The null

hypothesis stating that gamma radiation has no effects on

the weight of dendrobium pattaya beauty protocorm is

accepted. :

Therefore the researchers concluded, that out: of the

eight {8} samples the general average weight increase for

the control (1.01 grams), 30 Gy (1.22 grams), 50 Gy (1.06

grams), 70 Gy (0.44 grams). Hence, it can be concluded that

the radiation does not show positive effect on the weight

of Dendrobium pattaya beauty protocorm. One-way ANOVA shows

that there is no significant effect on the weight of

dendrobium protocorrn.

The researchers recommend that Dendrobiuni pattaya

beauty is a good example; of plant, to have undergone this

kind of experiment; i :

The researchers also -recommend that gamma radiation

would not affect the groWth of the protocorm upon the

: !

result of one-way ANOVA that there is no significance using

gamma radiation. The researchers would like to recommend

continuing this study;. :from embryo to complete piantlet.

Orchid a member of the Orchidaceae, order orchidales

belonging to the family of perennial monocotyledonous

terrestrial plants. Some are epiphytes or saprophytes; they

are cosmopolitan and very abundant in the tropics.; Within

the genus of orchidaceae there exist a number of va-riet-*s

of species, which have different characteristic^ with

respect to the growth habits and general relativity.

Orchids are specially describe as houseplants or home based

plants that; are known for their adaptability, elase of

drowing,: availability and production of beautiful flowers.:

i,t is important to know that orchids have different types

according to their cultural requirements; Plalaenopsis,

Cattleya, and Dendrohium. These beautiful orchids produce

beautiful flowers but will take up to 5 years to bloom.

i :

i The general culturingof orchids require the following

t:o survive: temperature,, light, fertilizer, humidity,

proper containers and watering. This study shows that in

vitro culture is the aseptic (free from microorganism.)

culture of any plant parts in. vitro. Tissue culture is• i

utilized' in the field of ;Biotechnology. Micro-propagation

is the rapid vegetative propagation of plants; via; tissue

culture .'techniques. ; i

Micro-propagation permits the manipulation of physical

and chemicals conditions in the production in a; large

numbers of high quality plant materials within a short

period of time. In vitro culturing, also known as micro

propagation was developed or produced slow growing

temperamental orchids, which will create an impact in

agricultural research and production. Tissue culture is a

process in which micro-propagating the species though it

gives a vexing problem that people look at tissue culturing

as part of cloning, hence it gives more further interest to

the researchers to understand a tinge of apprehension to

extend their mind or broaden their IQ' s to understand ..ie

meaning of tissue culturing as micro-propagation of plant

or a certain species of plant like Cattleya. \ Tissue

cuituring is not just done in sterile laboratories.:

: )

Essentially, this is what: must be done. These; containers

irmst be sterilized; everything you see must be sterile to

reduce the possibility of pathogens being introduced into

the medium. There are different mediums (usually a gel) to

produce undifferentiated callus tissue, multiply; the: number

of plantlets, grow roots or multiply embryos for the

"artificial seed". The medium is dosed with a chemical to

encourage root growth. You insert one leaf (or other type

plant material) into the baby food jar that has the

appropriate medium. Although In. Vitro culture requires a

lot of materials and mediums to be used, it shows that

plants are the most usable materials for experiments.

Dendrobium contains a very large number of

heterogeneous species. Members of this group have an erect,

cane-type pseudobuib and have flowers with an relatively

long vase like. With a wide range of brilliant colors

possessed by their flowers, dendrobium species and hybrids

have always occupied a dominant position in the minds of

floriculturist and amateur orchidists. In the Philippines

the dendrobium group (which include Den, Pnaiaenopsis

Fitzg., and Den. Bigibbum, Lindl. Among other:3) is

generally prepared. The dendrobiuitt group is naturally

: i :

distributed in the warm, humid areas, near the: equatorialjI

zone of the Australian - Asian region. Thus, the resulting

hybrids require warm and humid environment with abundant!

sunlight:for optimum growth and development. ;

i Orchids are important to some orchid hobbyist because

they thrive to explore more about the plant. It is also

important to our local agriculture in which the flowers

were used to some experiments in hybridizing the plant. In

agriculture sectors orchids strengthens the :propagation

capability through the production of disease-free plant

material via micro-propagation techniques. It will

contribute to propagate more species of orchids and will

give the interest to some researchers about the plant

itself.

As isotopes sources are relatively cheap, the

instrumentation is readily available, and the application

in practically all fields of science and industry. It is

not surprising that the importance of the us'e of these

tools, in spite of growth of other new methods, Us steadily

increasing in both developing and developed countries..

In agricultural research, isotopes and radjiatidn play;

a: part in so many fields and in so many ways that ii is so

difficult to obtain a proper picture of their enormous'1

importance. In laboratories of developed ! countries,:.. : • i i •

isotopes are used routinely with an ever-increasing

assortment of modern research aids. In emerging

o£ the Problem ;

The study was conducted to determine the effects of

Gamma Radiation In-vitro cultured of Dendrobium jPattaya

Beauty using the KNUDSON C medium as basal medium for

regeneration within 20 days study from protocorrn. TO solve

the aforementioned problems the researcher sought answers

to the following specific questions:

1. What is the effect of Gamma radiation on protocorm

development of Dendrobium PatLaya Beauty in terms of

weight?

2. Is there any significant difference on the rate of

increase in weight of Dendrobiuin Pattaya Beauty

treated with different dosage of Gamma ray?

Objectives of the Study

The study aimed to determine the effect, of gamma rays

on in-vitro cultured orchid in the regeneration of an

undergone protocorm into plantlet within 20 days duration.

Ajlso this study, is to find the effects of gamma radiation

In; terms of weight development.

Hypothesis

There is no effect of Gamma radiation in propagating

the species of Dendrobium Pattaya Beauty in terms of

weight, Protocorm developed. There is no significant

difference on in-vitro cultured using Gamma radiation of

Bendrobium Pattaya Beauty and its control in terms of

weight and Protocorm developed.

Significance of the Study

The study will strengthen the propagation capability

in agricultural sectors and will contribute more to the

product! i of disease-free plant material via micro-

propagation techniques. In-vitro culture is the aseptic

culture of any plant part; it will permit the manipulation

of physical and chemical conditions in the production of

large numbers of quality plant material within a short

period of time. Also, it wills cheaper the market value of

Dendrobium because more plants produce and may result toi i

drive the price down. Other researcher may use this data toi ' :

propagate other plants:. This study will help to emphasize

the • importance of using radiation through gamma rays to

develop new and novel varieties of plant particularly!

orchid and other ornamental: crops. ; , :

METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH AM3 SOURCES OF DATA

; The chapter presents method and design, the subject of

the study, research procedure, experimental layout, and

statistical treatment to be used to be able to answer the

problems presented.

Research Method

This study will make use of Experimental Method of

Research and Randomized Complete Block Design to get

accurate findings on the problems.

This design may be used when the experimental units

can be meaningfully grouped, the number of units in the

group being equal; to the number of treatment or some

multiple of it. Such a group is called a block or

replicate. The object grouping is to have the units in a

block as uniform as possible so that observed differences

will be greater, on the average than variability among

units in the same block if no treatments were to be

applied. Clearly variability among blocks does not affect

differences among treatments means since each treatment

appears in every block.. Each block usually1 consists of

compact, nearly square group of plots. Likewise, placed in

outcome group or blocks on the basis of such

characteristics as initial weight. During the course of the

experiment all units in a block must be treated as

uniformly as possible in every respect other than

treatment. Any changes in technique or other condition that

might affect results should be made on the complete block.

If the number of observation per unit equal the number of

observers then each observers should make one observation

per unit. This practice help control variation within

blocks and thus experimental error; at the same time, they

contribute nothing to differences among treatment means.

Variation among blocks is arithmetically removed from

experimental error. Notice the balance that exists in this

design. Each treatment appears an equal number of,* times,

usually once, in each block and each blocic contains all

treatments. It is sometimes stated that blocks and

treatment are orthogonal to each other. It is the property

g.

that leads to the very simple arithmetic involved in the

analysis of resulting data. This design is used more

frequently that any other design and if it gives.

satisfactory precision, there's no point in using an

alternative.

: The layout of RCBD experiment is very similar to that

of a pairing experiment. The only difference is that we may

have two or more treatments (or varieties) in RCBD

experiment, while there are only two treatments (varieties)

involved in paring experiments. A pairing experiment is a

specific type of a RCBD experiment. In which there are only

two treatments (varieties) included. The- randomized

complete-block design has many advantages over other

designs. It is usually possible to group experimental units

in to blocks so that more precision is obtained than with

the completely random design. There are no restrictions on

the number of treatments or varieties extra replication is

desired for certain treatments, these maybe applied £*o two

or more units per block. The statistical analysis of the

data is simple. If, as a result of mishap, the data from a

complete block or for certain treatments are unusable/ this

data may be omitted without complicating the analysis. If

data fro individual units are missing, they can be

estimated easily so that arithmetic convenience is not

estimated easily so that : arithmetic convenience is not

lost. If the experimental is heterogeneous, unbiased

components applicable to testing specific comparison can be

obtained. The chief advantage of randomized complete-blocks

is that when the variation among the experimental units

within a block is large, a large error term results. This

frequently occurs when the number of treatments is large;

thus it may not be possible to secure a sufficiently

uniform group of units per block in such situations, other

designs to control a greater proportion of the variation

are available.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECCOJ4MEJNDATIONS

Suoaaaxy of Findings

The researchers' findings about the study shows that

the average weights increase of each treatrnent/s in the

three (3) data observation after inoculation vary from

sample to sample. As can be seen in the table that the

average weight increase of dendrobium pattaya beauty

protocorm does not. have an obvious trend considering the

increase of gamma radiation on the different treatments.

It can be seen that the converted f value of 1.5 is

lower than the critical f value of 4.07 at 0.05 level of

significance with the degree s of freedom of 3/8. The null

hypothesis stating that gamma radiation has no effects on

the weight of dendrobium pattaya beauty protocor^n is

accepted.

Concilia ion

The researchers concluded, that it can be applied that

out of the eight (8) samples the general average weight

increase for the control (1.01 grams), 30 Gy (1.22 grams),

50 Gy (1.06 grams), 70 Gy (0i.44 grams). Hence, it can bei

concluded that the radiation does not show positive effect

on the weight of dendrobium pattaya beauty protocorm. Hence

in one-way ANOVA shows that there is no significant effect

on the weight of dendrobium protocorm.

Recommendation

The researchers recommend that dendrobium pattaya

beauty is a good example of plant, to undergo this kind of

experiment.

The researchers also recommend that gamma radiation

would not affect the growth of the protocorm upon the

result of one-way ANOVA that there is no significance using

gamma radiation. The researchers would like to recommend

continuing this study, from embryo to complete plantlet.
