Abstract

The soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the important sources of vegetable protein and agricultural commodities in Indonesia, but its productivity is uncertain due to various factors, one of which is the availability of water. Low water availability in the growing environment can cause soybean plants to suffer from drought stress. Giving hydrogen peroxide to plants experiencing drought stress in optimum concentration can increase the plant's oxidative defense system. This study aims to determine the effect of treatment on the vegetative growth of Argomulyo variety soybean plants. The study used a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) design with 2x4 treatment and 5 replications. The parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, and fresh dry weight of the root canopy at the level of water availability 100% and 35% field capacity by spraying hydrogen peroxide concentrations of 0 mM, 0.5 mM, 1 mM, and 2 mM. The results were analyzed by ANOVA and DMRT test with a significance level of 0.05. The level of water availability influences plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, and fresh dry weight of the root canopy. The results show a 100% water availability level has a higher yield. Keywords: soybean, hydrogen peroxide, stress, growth

Abstract

Animal behavior is a response to external environmental conditions through detection by certain senses. Changes in physical factors in the environment before the earthquake (magnetic field anomaly) also influence the expression of specific behavioral changes in birds, namely the flight activity. However, scientific explanation of changes in orientation or direction of flight before the earthquake was not yet available. This article aims to describe the mechanism of bird's biological response to changes in the magnetic field before the earthquake. This study is a literature review. The results of theoretical synthesis explain that birds use magnetic receptors and light receptors that recognize changes in the magnetic field before the earthquake followed by an increase in the amount of intracellular calcium ions. Abnormal amounts of calcium stimulate the formation of more ATP which activates the function of actin and myosin, therefore muscle cells experience a bathmotrope effect expressed in the form of changes in flight direction.

Abstract

Writing this paper aims to introduce the king's wooden tree (Koompassia excelsa) to the general public, as the background of this writing because North Sumatra especially in the Tangkahan Langkat forest has one tree with a height of almost 88 meters with very large roots and very hard wood, but not much people know it, this can happen because of lack of exposure and lack of publicity both directly and with the mass media. The method used in this study is the Exploration Method and directly record the sample during the trip. The area observed in the data collection process is 40 hectares divided into 2 regions, namely Region A (15 Hectares) and Region B (25 Hectares). The purpose of this study is to explain that the Koompasia excelsa species is an original species called Timber The king and saw its abundance in the Gunung Leuser Tangkahan Langkat Forest which is adjacent to the Natural Protection Forest of Bukit Barisan National Park in North Sumatra. Based on the results of research in the Gunung Leuser National Park Forest area, North Sumatra it can be concluded that the tualang tree can be found in lowland habitats with altitudes reaching 350 m above sea level and slope rates varying from 40-60. The dominance of species and associations is one of the factors that influence the adventure habitat, but that does not mean that other species do not influence the adventure habitat, such as altitude, soil type, and species of animals that have not been observed and analyzed further. In addition, it is necessary o carry out an inventory of adventurers to estimate the population in North Sumtatra, so that if there is a decline in population, conservation status can be improved.

Abstract

This study aims to determine variations in the expression of ZDS and LCYb enzymes encoding several types of yellow tubers. Cassava used, namely Carvita 25, Nangka and Mentega 2 (yellow bulb) and Menti (white bulb) were used as controls. The target enzyme coding genes (ZDS and LCYb) in cassava were identified in an online database, Phytozome using the BLAST method. Design and primary analysis for the target genes was carried out using online software, OligoAnalyzer and PCR. The expression of the target enzyme coding gene was analyzed using the Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR) method. The BLAST results in the cassava genome in the Phytozome database showed that the enzymes ZDS and LCYb in cassava were encoded by two genes. The primary optimization results showed the primary annealing temperature for the LCYb enzyme coding gene was 55 ° C. The ZDS primers were not amplified after several replications, so that only the LCYb enzyme coding gene was selected for qualitative gene expression analysis using RT-PCR. A positive control in the analysis of gene expression is the housekeeping gene, PP2A. Electrophoresis results of PCR products (RT-PCR) showed negative results (no DNA bands were detected) in all samples from both yellow and white tuber samples and its housekeeping gene. This is possible from the low quality of RNA used in cDNA synthesis.
