Abstract

The coastal region is a dynamic area as a transition between the land and the sea. The ecological function of the coastal area is affected mainly by the structure and composition of vegetation factors. This study aims to analyze the vegetation stratification of terrestrial to marine ecosystems in the coastal area of Semarang City, Central Java Indonesia as an effort to manage a sustainable ecosystem. A striped path combined with nested plots were applied in this research. The plots were placed by systematic purposive sampling based on the homogeneity of vegetation found along with the topographic conditions of the research location. Analysis of qualitative data used by way of inventorying plants and identifying plants based on morphological characteristics that can be observed. Data analysis was performed based on the results of an inventory of the structure and composition of vegetation obtained including the index of diversity, evenness, and species richness. The results of plant identification found in the three locations recorded 51 plant species consisting of 29 families. The different types of vegetation in Taman Lele, Tapak, and Tirang Beach affect the diversity, richness, and evenness index of vegetation in all three locations. Therefore, it can be concluded that different environmental factors contribute to the vegetation stratification from the land to the sea. This is the first report on the Semarang coastal area vegetation stratification. The results can have a positive impact on the coastal area conservation strategy for sustainable management, as well as to be a media for environmental education purpose.

Abstract

Flowering weeds can serve as refugia for natural enemies. In coffee plantation, they might has the potential to attract predator and parasitoid of Coffee Berry Borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei Ferr. (Coleoptera: Scolytidae). The aim of this research was to elucidate the influence of weeds to the presence of predator dan parasitoid and their impact to the population of CBB. The research was conducted at Ngantang, Malang Regency and in Laboratory of Pest, Faculty of Agriculture, Brawijaya University. Three types of weed used were: Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae), Synedrela nodiflora(L.) Gaertn. (Asteraceae), and Arachis pintoi Krap. Greg. (Fabaceae). The research consisted of two experiments (1) coffee plot with single species of weed and (2) coffee plot with two species of weeds. The results of experiment I and II showed that A. conyzoides, S. nodiflora, A. pintoi and its combination in coffee plantation significantly attracted the predator and parasitoid of CBB. The population of CBB was not significantly different between coffee plot with and without weed. The existence of A. conyzoides, S. nodiflora and A. pintoi in coffee plantations could increase the number of predator and parasitoid of CBB around coffee tree. This result showed that the presence of weeds in coffee plantation is an important factor in maintaining the predators and parasitoid of CBB population.

Abstract

Carotenoids are important biological compounds in cancer prevention because theycan inhibit the formation of free radicals, which react directly with oxygen. This researchwas aimed to determine the effect of antimutagenic â-carotene on 7.12-dimetilbenz(a)antracene (DMBA)-induced mice. From the observation of the mortality rate during theresearch period, the DMBA group showed the highest rate of mortality compared to thecontrol group and the groups of â-carotene isolates. The incidence of tumors showed thedeclining trend in the groups of test animals that were given with the increasing dosesof β-caroten isolate, i.e. 1.82; 3.64 and 7.28 mg kg-1 BW. The result may be caused bythe increasingly high levels of â-carotene in the test solutions, resulting in the lowertissue damage and the inhibited growth of tumors in the lungs. Based on Kruskal-Wallisstatistical analysis conducted on lung histology observational data for ten samples ofeach treatment group, it was confi rmed that there were signifi cant differences betweentreatments, which mean that â-carotene isolates can inhibit cancer growth in lung andskin of DMBA-induced animals.Keywords: β-carotene isolate, antimutagenic, DMBA (7,12-dimetilbenz(a)antracene)

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is becoming a major cause of concern throughout the world. Many people, especially in rural communities, use medicinal plants to treat the disease and its complications. This study aimed to document the medicinal plant species used to manage diabetes mellitus and traditional knowledge of local communities in Curup Tengah, Rejang Lebong district, Bengkulu, Indonesia. This study was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire targeting 32 diabetic patients, and 2 traditional healers. Twenty women (58.8%) and 14 men used medicinal plants to manage the disease. Furthermore, 44 plant species belonging to 34 botanical families were found. The Fabaceae family (9.1%) contributes the highest number of medicinal plant (4 species) followed by Zingiberaceae (3 species) and Asteraceae (2 species). Leaves (38.63%), fruit (18.18%), and seeds (13.36%) were the predominant parts used to prepare the medicine through the extraction method. Documentation of medicinal plants used to treat diabetes as a foundation for subsequent scientific research, with a focus on plants with a high level of informant consensus. Plants with low UV levels, on the other hand, need bioactive screening to confirm their use for the condition. This could be interpreted as a sign of potential plants for the discovery of novel medications. Smallanthus sonchifolius and Anredera cordifolia are reported for the first time as being used in the traditional treatment of diabetes in this study.

Abstract

Cacao (Theobrama cacao) is one of the main plantation commodities in Indonesia which has an important role for the national economy. The low productivity of cacao plants in Indonesia is due to the condition of old plants, pests and diseases attacks which affect the quality of the fruit and decrease the plant’s productivity. The objective of this study was to isolate and identify of endophytic bacteria from stem, flower, leaf and fruit of T. cacao by using 16S rRNA gene as genetic marker. Twenty seven endophytic bacterial isolates were collected from local plantation in Yogyakarta area.  From this study, 8 endophytic bacterial strains exhibited the higher PGP traits. The isolates produced Indole Acetic Acid level by 0.3 to 5.21 ppm/hour. All of isolates had nitrogen fixation activity but have not phosphate solubilization activity. Among them, isolates CSDT 4 and CGKBH 4 showed promising potential as PGP bacteria. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, those bacterial strains were identified as Brevibacillus brevis (CSDT 4) and Pantoea sp. (CGKBH 4). We propose that the B. brevis and Pantoea sp. which is reported for the first time for their PGP potential in cacao, exerts its beneficial effects on cacao crop through combined of activities. The potential PGP bacteria from the Cacao plant was used to make a specific bio-fertilizer formula for the Cacao plant, because of the different needs and condition that every plant requires.

Abstract

Pesisir selatan Kabupaten Pamekasan memiliki beberapa pantai dengan profil yang berbeda-beda. Perbedaan profil pantai tersebut tampak pada substrat dasar perairan masing-masing, sehingga komunitas biota dasar perairan, misalnya Gastropoda yang terdapat di pantai-pantai tersebut juga berbeda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi jenis-jenis, keanekaragaman, dan kelimpahan Gastropoda di pantai selatan Kabupaten Pamekasan Madura. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode transek dilakukan di pantai selatan Pamekasan pada tiga stasiun penelitian, yaitu Pantai Bengkal, Pantai Talang Siring, dan Pantai Jumiang. Pada setiap pantai ditentukan tiga garis transek ke arah laut dan pada masing-masing garis transek dibagi menjadi tiga bagian, yaitu intertidal atas, intertidal tengah, dan intertidal bawah. Keanekaragaman Gastropoda dianalisis berdasarkan perhitungan indeks keanekaragaman dan kelimpahan relatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di pantai selatan Kabupaten Pamekasan Madura ditemukan 29 jenis Gastropoda yang terbagi ke dalam 14 famili. Indeks keanekaragaman Gastropoda di Pantai Bengkal memiliki nilai indeks keanekaragaman tertinggi, yaitu sebesar 2,4398 diikuti Pantai Talang Siring (2,0988) dan Pantai Jumiang (1,6200) Indeks keanekaragaman jenis Gastropoda sebesar 3,0075, termasuk kategori keanekaragaman yang tinggi. Gastropoda yang paling melimpah adalah Nassarius distortus diikuti Littoraria scabra dan Nassarius leptospirus dengan kelimpahan relatif berturut-turut 11,21%; 9,09%; dan 8,03%. Informasi ini menegaskan bahwa indeks keragaman Gastropoda rendah ditemukan di pantai yang menjadi tujuan wisata dan dekat pemukiman penduduk (pantai Jumiang), sehingga diperlukan pengendalian terhadap pencemaran pantai akibat aktivitas manusia.Southern shores of Pamekasan consists of beaches with different profiles. The difference can be found in the type of substrate which causes variation of invertebrate community living in this shores, i.e.gastropods. The study aimed to identify the species of gastropods as well as to describe the diversity and abundance of gastropods in the southern shores of Pamekasan Madura. Sampling was carried out on three research stations located at the southern shores of Pamekasan (Bengkal Beach, Talang Siring Beach, and Jumiang Beach). Three transect lines were placed at each research station and each transect line was divided into three sampling sites, namely upper intertidal, middle intertidal, and lower intertidal. The diversity of gastropods was analyzed using the diversity index and relative abundance. The results showed that 29 species of gastropods which belong to 14 families were found in the southern shores of Pamekasan. The diversity of gastropods in southern shores of Pamekasan was high (the diversity index was 3.0075). The most abundant species was Nassarius distortus, followed by Littoraria scabra and Nassarius leptospirus with relative abundance 11.21%; 9.09%; and 8.03%, respectively found in tourist destinations and near settlements (Jumiang beach), so that the necessary control of coastal pollution due to human activity. This information confirms that the diversity index of gastropods were low, especially found in coastal tourist destinations and near settlements (Jumiang beach), so that the necessary control of coastal pollution due to human activity. Found on the beach that become tourist destinations and near settlements (Jumiang beach), so that the necessary control of coastal pollution due to human activity.

Abstract

Mahameru cultivar is high salinity tolerant cultivar. The previous study result showed Mahameru cultivar could tolerate 140mM NaCl, but Cilacap Coast salinity levels often reaching 200mM NaCl. A research of salinity stress on Mahameru cultivar at 200 mM NaCl have not conducted yet. Therefore to conduct the research of Mahameru at high salinity stress to obtained high salinity tolerant soybean cultivar.   The observed variables are anatomy (epidermis thickness, the density of stomata and trichomes, palisade thickness) physiology (the dry weight of roots and canopy, the content of chlorophyll a and b) Production (whole pod, total filled pod, total empty pod, weight per one-hundred beans). The salinity treatment was 0, 50,100, 150, 200 mM NaCl given at three days before planting and twenty-one days after planting. The data of anatomy and physiology was taken at forty-five days after planting. The production data was taken when soybean plants turned brown. The result indicates that salinity affects anatomy characteristic of leaf, higher the salinity increasing epidermis thickness and the density of stomata and trichomes. Salinity affected the content of chlorophyll a and b. Higher the salinity increased the content of chlorophyll a and b. Salinity did not affect soybean production. Based on this study Mahameru cultivar is resistant to salinity up to 200 mM NaCl. The benefit of this research help to enhance national soybean production with utilization coastal land for soybean planting Mahameru cultivar.
