Abstract

Tomatoes are a widely produced and consumed fruit-vegetable belonging to the Solanaceae family. It contains minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, sugars, and fiber. Micro-Tom is a wild-type cultivar from a cross between the Florida Basket and Ohio 4013-3 cultivars. Micro-Tom has two mutant types, the iaa9-3 and iaa9-5 mutants, which exhibit strong parthenocarpic properties. It is classified as a mutant tomato due to a mutation in the IAA9 gene, which belongs to the Auxin/IAA (Indole-3-Acetic-Acid) gene family and plays a role in suppressing the endogenous auxin signal transcription pathway. Using artificial light in cultivation techniques shortens the plant cycle and accelerates the juvenile phase. This study aimed to investigate the morphological, physiological, and production responses of Micro-Tom tomatoes to supplemental LED lighting. The research was conducted at the Leuwikopo experimental field of IPB University from March to November 2023. A completely randomized design was employed, with two factors (LED spectrum and Micro-Tom genotyping) and nine replicates. The study also examined the potential benefits of combining polychromatic and monochromatic light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The response of Micro-Tom tomatoes to artificial lighting with purple and white LEDs did not show significant differences in growth and production parameters. However, significant differences were observed between the tomato types, specifically between the Wild-type and the iaa9-3 mutant. No significant differences were found in LED treatment or Micro-Tom genotype for physiological parameters such as chlorophyll content and glucose-fructose levels. Regarding fruit quality, no significant differences were observed for parameters such as total soluble solids (TSS, Brix) to total titratable acidity (TTA, acidity), glucose and fructose, and malic acid. The LC-MS/MS analysis of leaves exposed to purple LED light revealed a profile dominated by secondary metabolites from the fatty acid compound group, suggesting the potential benefits of this lighting combination. In conclusion, using LED lights can accelerate the plant life cycle and shorten the juvenile phase, as evidenced by the first flower emergence, which occurred 20 days after transplanting (DAT) in the wild-type genotype and 16 DAT in the mutant genotype.

Abstract

Kecapi (Sandoricum koetjape Merr.) is a tropical fruit species that belongs to the Meliaceae family. Kecapi trees require 5-7 years to produce fruit when grown from seeds, necessitating efforts to accelerate their growth, including through the modification of light. This research aimed to study kecapi’s morphological, physiological, and anatomical responses to light spectra and intensities from light-emitting diodes. The experiment was designed using a two-factor, completely randomized design (CRD), namely LED light spectrum (white and purple) and light intensity (2 and 4 lights). The result showed that morphological and vegetative growth were significantly affected under the high-intensity purple LED treatment. The low-intensity purple LED treatment increased stomatal conductance and chlorophyll-b synthesis. The transpiration rate was highest under the high intensity white LED treatment. Low-intensity white LED treatment only increased the abaxial stomatal aperture. As the intensity increased, it also increased N-Total content but decreased micronutrient levels in the leaves.

Abstract

Abiu is a species introduced into Indonesia from the tropics of the Amazon and has been developing for several years. Information on the characteristics of the abiu plant are still limited compared to other introduced fruit species. This research aims to identify the characteristics of the abiu plants in two locations in the Bogor region, West Java, Indonesia. The research was conducted at Balumbang Jaya village, the sub-district of Dramaga, the village of Mekarsari, the sub district of Cileungsi, Bogor, West Java. Further observation was conducted at Post-harvest Laboratory and Micro Technic Laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture IPB. The field study was conducted in January to July of 2018. This research was descriptive and no treatment was applied on the plant samples. Sampling was done randomly with as many as 15 plants at each location. Observations and measurements were conducted on the number of branches, leaves and flowers on 10 samples per plants. The results showed that there is morphological diversity of flowers and leaves at the two locations. The length, width, and weight of leaves and flowers in Balumbang Jaya were larger than those in Mekarsari. Different environments may contribute to the diversity of abiu leaves and flowers in the two locations.
