Abstract

Leea indica (Burm.f.) Merr, commonly known as Memaye, is a shrub utilized by the Besemah tribe in Lahat Regency, South Sumatra, for treating infectious diseases such as hepatitis and warts, as well as degenerative diseases like liver disorders. This plant's medicinal properties are primarily derived from its roots and fruits, which contain secondary metabolites like alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Anatomical studies are crucial to identify specific structures within the plant that may store these metabolite compounds. This research aims to analyze the anatomical structure and distribution of secretory structures in the vegetative organs (leaves, stems, and roots) of Leea indica. Using a descriptive method, the study employed Paraffin and Whole mount techniques to prepare samples for microscopic observation. Results revealed the presence of epidermal tissue, basic tissue, and vascular tissue. Additionally, internal secretory structures, including cavities and two types of idioblast cells, were found to function as storage sites for secondary metabolites. These secretory structures were distributed throughout the leaves, stems, and roots of the plant.

Abstract

Leea indica (Burm.f.) Merr. (Memaye) is traditionally used by the Besemah Tribe in Lahat, South Sumatra, as a medicinal plant to treat infectious and degenerative diseases, including hepatitis, liver disorders, and warts. The utilization of this plant as an herbal remedy requires comprehensive information on its microscopic characteristics and secondary metabolite content. This research aimed to determine the classes of secondary metabolite compounds with anti-infective and anti-degenerative potential and their distribution in the vegetative organs of L. indica through histochemical testing, as well as to identify specific diagnostic fragments from microscopic observation of simplicia powder and stem maceration preparations. Histochemical tests were performed on fresh cross-sections of leaves, stems, and roots using specific reagents: Wagner's reagent for alkaloids (reddish-brown positive), 10% NaOH for flavonoids (yellow), 5% copper acetate for terpenoids (yellow to brownish), 10% FeCl₃ for phenols (greenish-black), and Lugol's iodine for tannins (black or purple). Microscopic observations were conducted on chloral hydrate-mounted simplicia powder and safranin-stained maceration preparations. Results showed that alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, and phenols were distributed in all vegetative organs, while flavonoids were detected exclusively in leaves. Diagnostic fragments, including various crystal types (raphide, druse, rosette), trichomes (glandular, non-glandular, scale, and septate), and vascular elements (tracheae, tracheids, fibers, and xylem parenchyma), were identified across leaves, stems, and roots. Notably, scale trichomes and septate trichomes with basal sacs serve as specific diagnostic fragments for L. indica, providing reliable authentication markers for quality control in medicinal applications and future research.

Abstract

Truss morfometrik merupakan metode pengukuran ikan dengan menggunakan titik patokan yang berhubungan dan membentuk tubuh ikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan morfometrik ikan palau (Osteochilus vittatus) asal Sungai Kelekar dan Sungai Benuang. Prosedur penelitian ini terdiri dari penentuan lokasi, pengukuran parameter lingkungan, pengambilan sampel, proses identifikasi ikan palau, pengukuran truss morfometrik dan meristik. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan morfometrik O. vittatus asal Sungai Kelekar dan Sungai Benuang pada O. vittatus betina sebanyak 6 karakter dan 5 karakter untuk jantan. Terdapat juga perbedaan karakter meristik pada O.vittatus jantan dan betina dari kedua sungai tersebut. Rasio kelamin pada Sungai Kelekar menunjukkan bahwa jumlah ikan jantan yang tertangkap lebih besar dibandingkan ikan betina, sebaliknya pada Sungai Benuang jumlah ikan jantan yang tertangkap lebih sedikit dibandingkan ikan betina.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan minat siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) terhadap bidang Biologi melalui pendekatan berbasis konservasi dan bioteknologi. Permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah rendahnya pemahaman siswa terhadap ruang lingkup keilmuan Biologi serta terbatasnya informasi mengenai prospek karier lulusan Biologi. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di SMA IT Pondok Pesantren Raudhatul Ulum, Kabupaten Ogan Ilir, dengan metode sosialisasi, pemaparan materi, serta diskusi interaktif. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan pre-test dan post-test untuk mengukur peningkatan pemahaman siswa. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan pada seluruh parameter yang diukur, meliputi pengetahuan tentang jurusan Biologi, pemahaman ruang lingkup kajian, serta pemahaman peluang kerja lulusan. Selain itu, ketertarikan siswa untuk melanjutkan studi di bidang Biologi juga mengalami peningkatan setelah kegiatan berlangsung. Kegiatan ini tidak hanya meningkatkan aspek kognitif, tetapi juga mengubah persepsi siswa terhadap Biologi menjadi lebih aplikatif dan relevan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Dengan demikian, kegiatan sosialisasi berbasis konservasi dan bioteknologi ini efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi sains serta minat siswa terhadap Biologi, sehingga berpotensi mendukung pengembangan sumber daya manusia yang peduli terhadap lingkungan dan berorientasi pada pemanfaatan sumber daya hayati secara berkelanjutan.
