Abstract

Red spinach (Alternanthera amoena Voss.) is a plant with high nutritional value and contains anthocyanin compounds that act as antioxidant compounds to prevent the formation of free radicals in the body, besides that anthocyanin can also treat anemia. The increase in demand for red spinach in the market has not been matched by the amount of production. The productivity of spinach can be increased by polyploid induction. The advantages of polyploid plants are increased quality (taste, aroma, and other metabolites), size of vegetative and generative structures, pest resistance, and more adaptability. Based on the latest research, it was found that Bio-Catharantin as a periwinkle leaf extract product can induce polyploidization in shallot (Allium cepa L.) and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) plants. This study was carried out from July to August 2021. The treatments include control, seed induction by Bio-Catharantin 0.2% solution, and seed induction by Bio-Catharantin 0.4% solution for 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours. The results showed that induction with Bio-Catharantin in plants was followed by changes in morphological characters. The results of ANOVA-Duncan analysis showed that there was a significant difference in seed induction by Bio-Catharantin 0.2% solution for 12 hours treatment. Chromosomal observations could not be identified because the chromosome size was not visible and hardly seen under the microscope. Flow cytometry test showed that plants treated with Bio-Catharantin were unable to produce polyploidization of red spinach. The result of the chlorophyll test is in line with the morphological characters.
