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.

; INTRODUCTION
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

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
Republic of the Philippines,
biotechnologies, which ' are used increasingly byi
agricultural scientists, isotopes are a basic tool (without

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.
Republic of the Philippines
H I UNIVERSITY OF REAL SYSTEMAngono, Rizal
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. ; , :

Alam, M.K., Rashid, M.S., Hossain, M.S., Salam, M.A.
and Rouf, M.A. in 2002 reported that the four different
media namely - Hyponex, Murashige and Skoog (MS), OKF1, and
Knudson C (KC), were tested for large scale multiplication
of sympodial native orchid, Dendrobium transparens Wail.
Via seeds. MS medium was found best for characters studied
in the said orchid, and. it wars followed by Hyponex medium
but OKF1 gave the least performance. Days required for
germination was the minimum of {50 days) in MS medium while
maximum (59 days) was required by OKF.1 medium. Considering
other characteristics, such as days required to protocorm
formation and plantlet development, number of leaves and
roots per plantlet, plantlet height and root length and
19

finally plant survivability percentage, MS medium showed
significantly better performance for in - vitro seed
propagation of Dendrobium transparens. It was also stated
that the different media significantly influenced the
protocox-rn formation and plantlet development (Aiam et al
2002}. The maximum duration (48 days) was required by OKF1
medium, which was significantly similar to Knudson C medium
{43 days) while MS medium took the least period (36 days) .
Similar trends were also observed in plantlet development.
Hoque (1993) stated that protocorms differentiated into
plantlets within 72 - 78 days in different media in which
is closely related to the present findings.
In 2005 Mar.kus Axelsson reported that Knudson C medium

root in these countries and obviously they have other
compelling priorities.

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
27
Republic of the Philippines
Angono, Rizal
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.
28
Republic of the Philippines
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
29Republic of the Philippines
J
Aiigono, Riza!
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.

(RCBD) to determine if Gamma Radiation and In-Vitro

Table 4 presents the effects of gamma radiation on
dendrobium pattaya beauty protocorm under laboratory
condition.
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 -n the different treatments. ;

Hence, it can be concluded that the radiation does not
show positive effect on the weight of dendrobium pattaya
beauty protocorm.

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.
