Abstract:

 Andalas is the mascot flora of West Sumatera because its closely related to Minangkabau’s Culture. Andalas stems are used as a material for “Rumah Gadang’s pole” which is a traditional house of Minangkabau. Exploitation and its nature as a dioecious plant cause the population to be increasingly threatened. Shoot cutting is an alternative to multiply this plant and Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi is commonly used to increase roots growth in cuttings. The research about the growth of Andalas (Morus macroura Miq.) seedlings from shoot cutting inoculated with Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi was conducted from March to August 2016 at green house and Plant Physiology and Tissue Culture Laboratory, Biology Department, Mathematics and Natural Science Faculty, Andalas university, Padang. The aim of this research was to found the compatible types of AMF to increase the growth of Andalas seedlings from shoot cutting. The research used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 6 replications. The treatments were without inoculant (control), Glomus sp., Gigaspora sp. and Acaulospora sp. The result showed that Acaulospora sp. significantly increased the height of plant, the length of root and very high criteria of mycorrhiza dependency.
