Abstract

Bunchy top is one of the major diseases on bananas that caused economic losses. This study aimed to determine changes in protein content, the concentration of phenolic compounds, the amount of chlorophyll, and sugar content in several Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV)-infected banana cultivars. The research involved the artificial inoculation, extraction, and biochemical analysis of banana seedlings from the cultivars Mas, Cavendish, Kepok, and Raja. Inoculation was performed using the vector Pentalonia sp.. A factorial complete randomized design (CRD) was used as the experimental design. Each experimental unit consisted of 5 repetitions. Protein, phenol, chlorophyll, and sugar content measurements were performed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Test samples were in the form of fresh leaves from BBTV-infected and non-BBTV-infected plants. Regression analysis and tests for significance were performed to determine the biochemical changes that occurred after testing. The results showed that the average levels of phenols, chlorophyll, protein, and total sugars in BBTV-infected plants were significantly altered. The chlorophyll content decreased from 82–87% in Mas, Cavendish, and Raja cultivars. Total plant phenol in all BBTV-infected cultivars increased by 69.2 to 348.3 ppm. Specificity was evident in the change in protein concentration, which increased by 95 ppm and 84.5 ppm in the Mas and Cavendish cultivars, respectively. This contrasts with the Kepok and Raja cultivars, which decreased by 660.5 ppm and 113.6 ppm, respectively. Sugar levels increased from 3133.9 to 3298.6 ppm in all BBTV-infected breeds. According to the data, BBTV infection has been shown to cause physiological and biochemical changes in Mas, Cavendish, Kepok, and Raja.

Abstract

Salinity stress on productive rice fields in coastal areas will have a negative impact on productivity through osmotic stress and nutrient deficiencies. Salinity stress causes high levels of Na and Cl in the soil, thus inhibiting phosphate absorption. Utilization of indigenous P-solubilizing bacteria from saline land is an alternative, environmentally friendly technology. The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize P-solubilizing bacteria from saline rice fields. Soil samples were taken from the rice rhizosphere in Nyamplungsari Village, Peraturkan District, Pemalang Regency. Isolation and characterization were carried out at the Agronomy & Horticulture Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, UNSOED. The variables observed included P solubility index, P solubilizing ability, IAA production, and bacterial identification using the 16S RNA method. The results of the study obtained 7 isolates of P-solubilizing bacteria that had the ability to solubilize P and produce IAA. Isolate KF is a P-solubilizing bacterium that has the highest P-solubilizing ability and is identified as Priestia megaterium strain NRRL B-350. Priestia megaterium strain NRRL B-350 is a species of P-solubilizing bacteria that has the potential to be developed as a specific biological fertilizer for saline soil to increase the growth and yield of rice plants under saline stress.
