Abstract

Recently tissue culture not only a tool for micropropagation but also for biodiversity conservation, plant improvement, and economic development. In the case of kopyor coconut, a rare variety, tissue culture is an essential method to rescue the embryos. Conventional technique could not be used for embryo germination of kopyor coconut due to lack of nutrition source. A complete protocol for kopyor coconut embryo culture and seedling was succesfully establised subsequently transferred to the field. In view of the economic importance and endangered status, kopyor coconut deserve to get special attention. Exploration germplasm has been done and we found four (4) centers in Indonesia: Pati Central Java, Jember-East Java, Sumenep-East Java, Kalianda-Lampung. For sustainable utilization and conservation of populations we established one hectare in-vitro kopyor coconut plantation in Sumenep and heterozygote replanting seedlings in farmer plantation in Pati Central Java. Thus, tissue culture of kopyor coconut is fundamental for the conservation of natural populations by providing seedlings for cultivation and for germplasm collections. For industrial purposes, we have developed a kopyor coconut sustainable agricultural systems, collaboration between university, research institution, local goverment and farmer. This collaboration covering five activities: Germplasm Exploration, Developing Technology, Technology Transfer, Mentoring- Collaborative, and Community Patnership. In the future, collaborated tissue culture work on kopyor coconut need to be developed for many purposes, including mass propagation through somatic embryogenesis.
