Abstract

High salinity causes osmotic stress and ion imbalance that can reduce plant productivity. Solanaceae can be developed for cultivation in saline land, but its growth is influenced by the type of species. This study aims to examine the tolerance level of three Solanaceae plants to salinity stress through observation of physiological responses of germination and growth. This study used a 3 x 4 factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The first factor is salinity: 0 ppm, 2,500 ppm, 5,000 ppm and 7,500 ppm. The second factor is the Solanaceae species, namely Capsicum frutescens, Solanum melongena, and Solanum lycopersicum. Germination parameters include germination power, wet weight and dry weight. The growth parameters observed include plant height, root length, stem diameter, leaf area, number of leaves, wet weight of leaves, roots and stems and dry weight of leaves, roots and stems. The results of the study showed that C. frutescens is a plant that is more tolerant to salinity up to a concentration of 5,000 ppm when compared to S. melongena and S. lycopersicum whose tolerance is up to 2,500 ppm. Keywords: Germination, Salinity, Solanaceae, Vegetative Growth.

Abstract

The Physalis angulata L. (ciplukan), originating from the Solanaceae family, contains secondary metabolites that can be used as medicinal materials. The provision of Physalis angulata seeds is hindered by seed dormancy. Dormancy can be broken by employing a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution with a specific soaking period. This study aims to optimise the duration of the soaking period for Physalis angulata seed germination and the in vitro growing medium. The seeds were soaked in a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution for 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours. The soaked seeds were planted in sterile tissue media moistened with Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium solution, a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution, and distilled water. Generally, the dormancy of Physalis angulata seeds can be broken by soaking them in a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution. The results of this study indicated that Physalis angulata seeds soaked in a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution for 6 hours and 12 hours, then planted in sterile tissue media moistened with the MS medium solution, exhibited an optimal germination response.

Abstract

Postharvest storage is carried out to control the metabolic rate so the quality of fruits can be maintained properly until it reaches the costumers. Cold storage can reduce metabolic reactions, such as respiration and transpiration. However, storing too long in cold temperatures can cause the quality of the fruit to deteriorate. Each type of dragon fruit has different chemical contents that will affect the quality of fruits after storage. This study aims to determine the effect of the type of dragon fruit, cold storage duration, and interaction between the two treatments. Both type of dragon fruit are packed in PP plastic and then stored at 10°C. Observation were made at different storage durations. This study used RAL, with the first being super red and white dragon fruits. The second factor was storage duration of 0, 7, 14, and 21 days. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with DMRT if it had a significant effect. The result of the study showed that the treatment of fruit type had significant effect on antioxidant activity, vitamin C content, and total sugar level. Storage duration treatment had significant effect on antioxidant activity and vitamin C content. Keywords: Antioxidant activity, Cold storage, Dragon fruit, Post-harvest, Vitamin c.
