Abstract

Chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is an important horticultural commodity in Indonesia with high economic value, primarily due to its capsaicin content, which provides its distinctive pungency and health benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Ethyl Methane Sulfonate (EMS) as a chemical mutagen agent on capsaicin content in the leaves and stems of three local chili pepper genotypes. The research was conducted using a two-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications, consisting of EMS concentrations (0.00%, 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.04%) and three chili pepper genotypes. Mutation treatment was carried out by soaking seeds in EMS solution for six hours. Capsaicin content was analyzed using spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 280 nm. The results showed that EMS treatment had no significant effect on capsaicin content in either leaves or stems across all genotypes. However, there was a tendency for increased capsaicin content in certain treatment combinations, particularly at EMS concentrations of 0.01%. This suggests that EMS treatment at specific concentrations may induce physiological changes associated with capsaicin production.

Abstract

Arthropods have an important role in a habitat and food chain cycle. Identification of arthropod species abundance and diversity is done as a biological indicator of the environment. The aim of the research is determine the diversity and community structure of soil arthropods in various habitats and provide information on environmental quality caused by human activities around the campus of Sumbawa University of Technology. This research was conducted in three locations in the area around the Sumbawa University of Technology, Batu alang village, Moyo Hulu sub-district, Sumbawa district. The three locations include hillsides, campus areas and corn fields. Sampling of soil arthropods using the pitfall trap technique. Data on abundance, species richness, diversity, Calculation of the Index of Importance (INP) and diversity value (H') was analized by Excel. The results of Arthropod identification found a total of 2083 individuals consisting of 20 families and 8 Arthropod orders. The three sites showed that the abundance of arthropods in campus area was the highest at (212.75 ± 9.54) Arthropod species richness in corn field was the highest at 2.67 ± 0.4 Arthropod diversity (H’) in hilside was the highest at (3.23 ± 0.16). Campus area and corn field which have higher similarity.
