abstract: Minimal inhibitory concentrations of kanamycin on shoots and nodes of both Melastoma malabathricum and Tibouchina semidecandra were assessed. Results were based on the percentage of surviving and regeneration of explants after four weeks of kanamycin treatments. The percentages of surviving and regeneration dropped as the kanamycin concentration increased until the optimal concentrations were reached to inhibit the regeneration or killed the tissues. Results showed that kanamycin at 500 and 400 mg/L were sufficient to inhibit the regeneration of Melastoma malabathricum shoots and nodes respectively, whereas 400 and 300 mg/L were inhibitory to the shoots and nodes of Tibouchina semidecandra, respectively.
