Summary, Etc.
The study aimed to mass-produce desirable genotypes of rattan using tissue culture and promote the use of tissue culture planting materials among farmers in Aklan and selected provinces in Region VI. There was technology transfer on the tissue culture of rattan from the University of the Philippines Los Baños- College of Forestry and Natural Resources (UPLB-CFNR) to Aklan State University (ASU).The latter manifested capability to mass produce three commercial rattan species found in Aklan. The standard protocol was developed at ASU on
Calamus microsphaerion
(suckering species),
Calamus sp.
(pink rattan) and
C. ornatus
. UPLB-CFNR developed and improved the protocol on
C. filispadix, C. merrillii, C. ramulosus, C. caeius, C. manilensis
and
Daemonorops mollis
. A total of 179 clones of four species namely
C.
merrillii
(47),
Calamus sp
. (35),
C. filispadix
(17) and
D. mollis
(80) were subcultured at the UPLB-CFNR tissue culture laboratory. A total of 447 cultures of
C. merrillii, Calamus sp.
and
D. mollis
were in the laboratory. As a whole, a total of 2,140 plants derived from embryo and meristem cultures and from the collection were at UPLB-CFNR nursery for field planting. There were also 2,915 cultures on the growing shelves at ASU tissue culture laboratory consisted of
C. microsphaerion, Calamus sp.
and
C. ornatus
. These plants were acclimatized in the nursery using coconut coir dust as potting medium. These plants were planted at ASU gene bank and in the farmers field in Sibalew, Banga, Aklan and reforestation project in Ajuy, Iloilo. Results on fertilization studies of
C. microsphaerion
planted in newly established and established mahogany stand at ASU showed that there were no significant differences on the number of leaves and leaflets developed, length of leaves, and height (cm). Similar study was conducted in Sibalew using six rattan species planted under established mahogany plantation. Results indicated that there was 100% survival. Insignificant finding was obtained using the aforementioned parameters
