Respon Fisiologi Tanaman Meniran (Phyllanthus Niruri L.) Dengan Inokulasi Jamur Pemacu Tumbuh Dalam Kondisi Cekaman Kekeringan
Meniran contains phytochemicals. One of these is a flavonoid that acts as an immunomodulator and has potential as an antiviral. The supply of meniran comes mostly from natural harvesting, raising concerns about scarcity of meniran. Increasing the availability of meniran can be through cultivation and increasing secondary metabolites through drought stress. Drought stress on meniran can increase secondary metabolites, but continuous application can result in decreased plant growth and biomass. Alternative to overcome drought stress is the use of growth promoting fungi. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of growth promoting fungal isolates, drought stress duration, and the interaction between meniran growth. This study used a Factorial Randomized Group Design with two factors. First factor was growth promoting fungal isolates (J0, J1, J2, J3, J4) applied seed inoculation. Second factor, drought stress duration (0, 2, 4 days). There were 15 treatment combinations with 3 replications and 45 experimental units. The parameters were growth parameters (number of leaflets, number of compound leaves, plant height, root wet weight, crown wet weight, total wet weight, and crown root ratio) and physiology parameters (total chlorophyll, RWC, H2O2, proline, flavonoids). Data analysed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5%. The results showed there was significant interaction between isolates of growth promoting fungi and duration of drought stress on the number of leaflets, but there was no significant interaction on other parameters. Meniran aged 8 weeks with drought stress showed no growth decline and resisted stress for 4 days, characterised increased root to canopy ratio and an increase in proline content.
