Abstract

Curcuma sp has been widely investigated for its anti-cancer properties. Conventionally, vegetative propagation needs a long time to produce a large number of planting materials, so that it is necessary to find an alternative approach through in vitro propagation.  The effect of BAP on the in vitro shoot formation of ‘temu putih’ and ‘temu putih’ has been investigated in this study. The experiment was a 4x2 factorial with 5 replications arranged in a completely randomized design.  The first factor was the concentration of BAP i.e. 0, 1.5, 3, and 4.5 ppm.  The second factor was the curcuma species consisting of ‘temu putih’ (Curcuma zedoaria Roch.) and ‘temu mangga’ (Curcuma mangga Val.).  Each experimental unit consisted of 2 in vitro bottles, each of which planted with 1 explant bud.  Analysis of variance was conducted on percentage of live explants, shoot height, number of roots, root length, wet weight, percentage of explants that sprouted, percentage of rooted explants and shoot color.  Mean comparison was performed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD).  The results showed that there was no interaction between BAP concentration and genotype on any variable observed.  The shoot growth of ‘temu putih’ was significantly higher than ‘temu mangga’ in vitro.  The best concentration of BAP for the growth of ‘temu putih’ and ‘temu mangga’ shoots was 1.5 ppm.

Abstract

Underexploited wild food plant (WFP) species have a high potential to contribute to nutritional and/or medicinal health, generate income, and sustain the environment. The objective of this study was to identify market-available WFP species and characterize their beneficial use and economic values in northwestern Cambodia. Two hundred seventy-five (275) retailers in Battambang and Siem Reap were interviewed to collect data on wild food plant species availability and their values. Thirty-four (34) plant species were identified as WFP species, including annual and perennial herbs, perennial shrubs, vines, and trees. Leave, shoots, stems, rhizomes, corms, flowers, and fruits were the parts of the plant used for cooked dishes. Most of the parts used (92.4%) were collected from the wild, while 7.6% were reported as cultivated. The plant species are high in vitamin A, C, a good source of minerals, and can be used as traditional medicine. To enhance health and alleviate the ‘hidden hunger’ of micronutrient malnutrition, Cambodia should promote the production and dietary incorporation of wild food plants rich in minerals and vitamins.

Abstract

Protein is one of the substances of nutrition macro that is needed by the body are known to contain bioactive peptides. Protein sources can be from vegetables and animals, based on research an animal protein sources more complete, balanced, easily digested and absorbed than vegetable protein sources. Some sources of animal protein (milk, eggs, meat, and products derived and processed) were reported that contain of bioactive peptides. Bioactive peptide has effect as antimicrobial, antithrombotic, antihypertensive, opioid, immunomodulatory, binder minerals, antioxidants, and prevent mental health disorder. The purpose of this paper is to review the peptide bioactive, relationship of mental health with peptide bioactive, and prevention of mental helath problems with bioactive peptide from animal protein sources. Peptides bioactive is an organic substance that is formed by amino acids (2-30 pieces) with the bond of the peptide and the weight of the molecule is small (unit Dalton). Mental health is the condition of the welfare (well-being) of an individual that is aware of its ability to own, can cope with the pressure of life which is normal, can work in a productive and can give a contribution to the community. Peptides bioactive shows such as opioids and inhibit the activity of the enzyme prolyl endopeptidase (PEP, EC 3.4.21.26) that play a role important in the treatment of disorders of the mind because work on the system nerve central (CNS) and can give the effect of a positive on motivation, behavior, stress, control the intake of food or the perception of the sense of pain. Some proteins of animal that has been proven to be able to prevent mental health problems namely, bovine, yogurt, and fresh milk. Still a lot of opportunities in the business of exploration of the source of the protein animal in producing the product peptide bioactive for commercial.

Abstract

The tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a Tobamovirus that can infect cucumber plants. There is limited information about the response of cucumber varieties against TMV infection. The research was conducted to evaluate the response of cucumber varieties to TMV infection using TMV isolates from Bogor. The evaluation of resistance to TMV isolates was conducted by sap transmission method using TMV isolates from Bogor that propagated on tobacco as the source of inoculum. Variable observations covered the period of incubation (the day after inoculation/DAI), the symptoms of the disease, disease incidence, and disease severity. The presence of viral infection was observed through the accumulation of starch and inclusions bodies. Based on the results of the research, the TMV isolate was able to infect systematically all tested plants with symptoms of which appear in the form of mosaic light to heavy with the incidence of the disease reaching 100%. Response of cucumbers varieties to TMV isolate can be categorized into resistant (Bandana F1, Neptun, and Pandu), tolerant (Ethan F1), and susceptible (Vario F1).

Abstract

Setting the spacing with a specific density allows each plant to grow well. Spacing will affect the density and efficiency of light use and competition between plants in the use of water and nutrients to affect crop production. At low densities, plants compete less with other plants so that individual plant performances are better. Conversely, at high densities, the competition between plants for light, water, and nutrients is getting tighter so that plant growth can be stunted. Each kara oncet bean cultivar responds differently to different plant density levels. The experiment was conducted in farmers' rice fields in Lembang with Andosol soil. The altitude is 1500 m above sea level. Cangar and Bromo kara oncet bean cultivars with populations of 83,333 plants per ha, 66,667 plants per ha, and 55,556 per ha were studied using factorial block design with four replications. The response surface methodology and snugness test responses to find the highest population of each kara oncet bean cultivar. From the experimental results, it turns out that different plant populations cause differences in (ILD), (LTT), (LAB), and results. The optimum population to obtain the highest yield of two faba bean cultivars has not yet been determined. The components of plant organs that can be relied upon as a determinant of the yield of kara oncet beans are the number of pods per plant, the number of seeds per plant, and the weight of 25 dry seeds.
