Abstract
Examination of Phalaenopsis amabilis orchid resistance to hygromycin antibiotic is an important step to do
prior to Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation in this orchids using Hygromycin phosphotransferase
(HPT) gene as a selection marker in the T-DNA that harboring a desired gene to be transfered. We exposed
the plant on hygromycin containing medium. The experiment was conducted using 6 weeks old P. amabilis
protocorms. These protocorms were subcultured onto NP medium supplemented with various concentration
of Hygromycin (0, 5, 10, 20, 1nd 40 mg/l). The number of survival protocorms were examined every week for
4 weeks after subcultured (WAS). The resistancy of hygromycin was calculated as ratio of death protocorms
per total protocorms). The result showed that 10 mg/l hygromycin with 1 weeks of application caused death
close to LD 50. This data indicate that P. amabilis resistance to hygromycin treatment on the appropriate
concentration 10 mg/l, and this concentration can be used for other purposes in orchid system.
