Abstract

Cendana (Santalum album L.) adalah tumbuhan yang memiliki potensi ekonomi tinggi karena penggunaannya di berbagai bidang seperti bahan kosraetika, obat-obatan, kayu ukiran dan bahan kerajinan rumah tangga (home industry). Oleh karena potensinya yang tinggi itu maka eksploitasi dari habitat aslinya dilakukan secara terus-menerus tanpa memperhatikan upaya konservasinya, sehingga populasi cendana dalam habitat aslinya telah sampai pada kondisi yang memprihatinkan. Cendana merupakan salah satu komoditi unggulan di propinsi NTT yang mampu memberikan andil sebesar 22,08% untuk pendapatan asli daerah (PAD). Dalam rangka Otonomisasi Daerah sesuai dengan UU Nomor 22 tahun 1999 maka perhatian khusus untuk konservasi dan pengembangan cendana adalah salah satu prioritas yang tidak dapat dielakkan oleh masyarakat dan PEMDA NTT. Model agroforestry cendana merupakan salah satu pola konservasi dan pengembangan cendana di masa mendatang dengan melibatkan masyarakat lokal untuk menanam cendana di ladang atau tegalannya. Dengan menerapkan pola ini dalam periode jangka panjang (lebih dari 20 tahun) ke depan masyarakat secara berangsur-angsur mengurangi tekanan terhadap pengambilan cendana dari habitat aslinya di alammkarena cendana telah dapat dipanen dari ladang dan tegalannya. Tulisan ini akan membahas pula penyebab kegagalan konservasi cendana, dan beberapa pemikiran tentang kebijakan dasar untuk konservasi cendana pada masa mendatang.

Abstract

Degree of electrolyte leakage (EL) from leaf tissue after exposure to high temperature has been used as an indicator of heat tolerance. Inthe present study, EL was measured in an attempt to estimate heat tolerance of Viana umbellata (Thumb.) genotypes at three different growth phases. The degree of heat injury is significantly different among the three growth phases and among the genotypes as well as their interaction. However, the degree of heat injury tends to increase over the plant growth. The 18 genotypes of V. umbellata shows moderate genetic variability as shown by its value of genetic variance (46,25 ±16,35), phenotypic variance (85,37 ±27,60), and coefficient of genetic variation (26,36%).

Abstract

Phytoremediation is defined as a clean up of pollutants primarily mediated by pliotosynthetic plants so its could be used as an alternative technique to overcome contaminated soil and water such an mining ecosystems. These plants have several beneficial characteristics; they have ability to accumulate metals in their shoots and especially high tolerance to heavy metals.Since Indonesia has abundant plant diversity, it is believed that some of them are potential to be used as phytoremediator.This research was carried out to study the potential of three species of grasses in accumulating Pb and Cn. The treatments were arranged on Randomized Complete Block Design (factorial design). The first treatment are species of grass: 1) Cynodon dactylon Pers., 2)Cyperus sp. and 3) Ischaemum timorense Kith.; the second treatment is planting media i.e. 1) tailing soil, 2) soil from wildmining (mining activities run by unexpected miners) and 3) top soil and the third is organic fertilizer: 1) manure, 2) compost and 3) no fertilizer.The resultsshowed that all of the three grasses are potential to accumulate Pb and Cn. Organic fertilizer mixed on planting media is significantly affected the growth of grasses and increasing the accumulation of Cn on leaf of Cyperus sp. and I.timorense. While no evidence in increasing Pb accumulation on all of those three grasses species
