Abstract

Annonaceae is one of the most important and economically valuable plant families in Malesia region. Taxonomical studies could contribute to further utilization and conservation of the studied taxa. Due to their importance, an update in the morphological characters and taxanomical position of Annonaceae is required. This study aims to characterize the taxonomical position and relationships of 24 species belongs to the family Annonaceae found in the Purwodadi Botanic Gardens. In this work, we reported the taxonomical position and the phenetic clustering of 24 Annonaceae species collected from the Purwodadi Botanic Garden, East Java, Indonesia. The taxonomical study was performed based on morphological and phenetic approach where 81 characters (leaves, stem, and flower) were used in the analysis. A dendogram was produced following the scoring of the character using statistical program PAST ver. 3.0. (Hierarchial Cluster Analysis using Jukes Cantor Similarity approach). The  dendogram showed clear separation between members of sub-family Annonoideae and Malmeoideae; however Alphonsea javanica and Sageraea lanceolata were not grouped into their respective tribe or sub-family. Further studies are required to evaluate these taxonomical separations. Overall, from the 24 studied species, we found that they grouped into 2 sub-family (Annonoideae and Malmeoideae), 3 tribes (Annoneae, Miliuseae, and Uvarieae), and 13 genus (Alphonsea, Annona, Desmos, Fissistigma, Miliusa, Mitrephora, Orophea, Polyalthia, Popowia, Pseuduvaria, Sageraea, Stelechocarpus, dan Uvaria).

Abstract

Indonesia has an abundant biodiversity of natural resources, one of which is phylloplane fungi. This abundant phylloplane mold needs further investigation to utilize its potential as an antagonistic agent. This study aims to prove the existence and to determine the types of phylloplane fungi species found on the leaf surface of pacing tawar (sweet ginger or crepe-ginger) plants, to analyze and determine the level of diversity and dominance of phylloplane, and to determine the types of phylloplane fungi species that have the antagonistic ability of the phytopathogenic mold Fusarium oxysporum. This research method includes isolating crepe-ginger phylloplane fungi using a contact plate, isolates purification, macromorphological and micromorphological identification, diversity and dominance index calculation, and antagonist test using a dual culture method. This study used a descriptive analysis research design. The isolation results obtained 57 species of crepe-ginger plants leaf phylloplane molds consisting of eight genera (Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Curvularia, Fusarium, Mucor, Penicillium, and Trichoderma). The results of the diversity index calculation with a value of 2.02 showed that the diversity of phylloplane fungi was moderate. The result of the dominance index calculation, with a value of 0.1521, shows no tendency for phylloplane fungi species to dominate. The results of the antagonist test showed that 15 isolates could antagonize the F. oxysporum with an inhibitory proportion of up to 82% obtained from T. viride isolates with code FD5B3.2

Abstract

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium infection transmitted Anopheles sp. One of the obstacles in malaria control is the variation of Anopheles sp. Species which have various characteristics and behaviour, so it’s very important to understand the species of Anopheles sp. with aim to develop the disease control program. This study was conducted in Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta, one of the malaria endemic areas in Indonesia. Data collection of Anopheles sp. species diversity was carried out through landing collection inside and outside people’s homes at 18.00 - 06.00 WIB. Observations of abiotics factors in the habitat of Anopheles sp. larvae was carried out around the landing collection location. The result of research conducted in the Samigaluh, Kalibawang, and Pengasih Sub-Districts showed that the most common species found was Anopeheles vagus. The dominance of Anopheles vagus occurred in the Kalibawang and Pengasih dictricts, while in the Samigaluh Sub-Districts it became the second most among other species. Measurement of abiotic factors in the habitat of Anopheles sp. larvae through the parameters of temperature, air humidity, pH DO of water shows that the location where the larvae were found can support larval breeding and growth. That can be a factor in the large population of Anopheles sp., especially Anopheles vagus, which is a known vector of malarias based on research and its vectorial capacity.

Abstract

Thyroid diseases in pregnant women pose a significant challenge for physicians, affecting 1.2% of pregnancies. Untreated conditions can lead to obstetric complications and fetal development disorders, including placental abruption, preeclampsia, preterm birth, and fetal death. This research aims to compare levels of thyroid hormones with female sexual hormones such as estrogen and progesterone due to the change in their levels and to establish the relationship between BMI and (T3 and T4) every third during pregnancy. The research included measuring thyroid hormones that include the hormones triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). These hormones are associated with female sexual hormones, including progesterone and estrogen, during the three trimesters (first, second, and third). The findings showed that TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) levels in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy were significantly different from those in the control group, while the results showed that arose significantly for both hormonal T3 and T4 at all three stages of pregnancy as compared to control at a significant level (p?0.05). According to the results, body mass index (BMI) increased significantly during pregnancy, with the third trimester experiencing the greatest increase compared to the control group. The third trimester of pregnancy experienced the biggest increase in female sex hormones compared to the control group, with levels of estrogen and progesterone peaking during these three trimesters (p?0.05). During the three pregnancy periods, progesterone and estrogen demonstrated a significant and opposite connection with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) compared to the control group (p?0.05). The research aims to investigate the impact of pregnancy trimesters on thyroid and sexual hormones and the need for improved diagnosis and treatment, especially in the first three months of each phase.

Abstract

Kotadjawa, located on the west coast of Lampung, directly faces the Indian Ocean. Lithified calcareous sedimentary beds are prevalently outcropped along this coastline. These beds likely belong to the Simpangaur Formation, which may be associated with the paleocoastal depositional environment and tectonic uplift of the Indian Ocean. Therefore, we investigated the paleontological record, focusing on foraminifera as potential indicators of the paleoenvironment. This study aimed to identify, record, and calculate the relative abundance of benthic foraminifera in the sedimentary beds of Kotadjawa, Lampung. The samples were prepared via chemical treatment of 10% H2O2 for 48 hours. Our results revealed a diversity of benthic foraminiferal fossils within the sedimentary rock. Notably, 11 benthic foraminifera genera were fossilized in the observed outcrop: Textularia (18.4%), Sigmoilopsis (16.5%), Rectobolivina (15.4%), Uvigerina (15.5%), Nodosaria (14.5%), Elphidium (11.5%), Lenticulina (7.7%), Hormosina (6.8%), Bolivina (6.8%), and Globobulimina (5.8%). These results suggested that the sedimentary beds exposed in our study area ranging from the foreshore to the deep ocean floor ecosystem. This suggests that a sediment mixing event, possibly triggered by a paleocatastrophic event, influenced the deposition of these beds. This study provides new insights into marine paleoenvironmental conditions and paleocatastrophic events along the west coast of Lampung, Sumatra.

Abstract

The Bogor Botanical Garden (BBG) is a pivotal center for plant research and conservation, boasting a diverse collection of over 12,000 individual plants spanning various species. However, among the plant collections at BBG, some of them have the potential to be invasive. Therefore, this study aimed to uncover the plant collections at BBG with invasive potential and analyze the distribution of one of the most dominant collections, Epipremnum pinnatum (L.) Engl. The method employed in this research involved a literature review to identify which plant collections have invasive potential and a vegetation analysis on the distribution of E. pinnatum within BBG. Additionally, ANOVA analysis and regression models were employed to explore the relationship between environmental factors and E. pinnatum abundance. Results revealed that BBG hosted 78 potentially invasive plant species, with E. pinnatum comprising 28 individuals. Spatial analysis indicates a clustered distribution of E. pinnatum, influenced by seed dispersal mechanisms, environmental factors, and biotic interactions. Correlation analysis links soil pH, soil moisture, and canopy cover to E. pinnatum distribution. Canopy cover demonstrates a significant positive correlation with E. pinnatum abundance, suggesting its importance in providing favorable microclimates for growth. Regression analysis further supports canopy cover as a predictor of E. pinnatum presence. However, while a strong statistical association was observed, causal relationships require further investigation. This study underscores the complexity of ecological dynamics in BBG and emphasizes the need for comprehensive research to define underlying mechanisms driving plant distributions and interactions.

Abstract

Bactrocera is a pest that is detrimental to citrus farming. Bactrocera attacks cause developmental disorders in citrus fruit, including changes in fruit color (black spots appear from Bactrocera infection) and premature rot. Bactrocera also has a symbiotic relationship with Liberibacter asiaticus which causes Citrus Vein Phloem Degeneration (CVPD) disease which attacks phloem tissue in citrus plants. Bactrocera pest control was carried out by combining plants that have the potential to be used as biocides, namely kitolod, papaya, and lemongrass plants. This combination was used to switch the habits of fruit farmers who previously used synthetic pesticides to control pests.   Natural biocides are expected to have the same effectiveness as synthetic pesticides, but leave no residue on cultivated plants. A combination biocide from the three plants was made using the maceration method to obtain an infusion from each plant. Before being tested on Citrus plantations, an assay was carried out using an olfactometer to determine the effectiveness of the biocides. The research revealed that the combination of these three plants has the potential to be used as a natural biocide without leaving residueand causing damage or other developmental disorders to citrus plants.

Abstract

Spatholobus is a genus that belongs to the Fabaceae that is known to contain various bioactive compounds and distributed across Asia, including Indonesia. However, exploration of Spatholobus in Indonesia is still rare. Therefore, DNA barcoding is used to support the exploration and conservation of Spatholobus in Indonesia. However, there is no universal marker that can be used across all plant species. In addition, there are still few studies related to DNA barcoding within the genus Spatholobus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rbcL, matK, and intergenic spacer psbA-trnH regions in silico that can be used as DNA barcodes for the genus Spatholobus. This study began with a sequence search on the NCBI database including the rbcL, matK, and intergenic spacer psbA-trnH genes   in the genus Spatholobus and Phaseolus coccineus as the outgroup. Each sequence was then aligned with ClustalW. Then, a phylogenetic tree was constructed using the Maximum-Likelihood (ML) with 1000× bootstrap. As a result, the rbcL, matK, and psbA-trnH regions can be used as markers for DNA barcoding in the genus Spatholobus with different specifications. The rbcL and matK can be used to distinguish Spatholobus at the genus level, while the psbA-trnH can be used to distinguish Spatholobus at the species level.

Abstract

Carica (Vasconcellea pubescens A.DC.) is a mountain papaya species with limited distribution in Indonesia, found in the Dieng Plateau, Central Java. Carica is well utilized by the Dieng Plateau community based on its local knowledge system. The decline of local knowledge is increasingly worrying, necessitating documentation efforts through ethnobotanical studies. This study aimed to examine the appreciation of the local community of the Dieng Plateau towards Carica ethnobotany. This study was descriptive research employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches, with interview techniques. The study was conducted in three Dieng Plateau villages: Dieng, Sembungan, and Karangtengah villages. The 30 respondents were selected by purposive and snowball sampling. The research instruments included interview guides and questionnaires. Appreciation was analyzed descriptively with a quantitative approach using a Likert scale. The results showed an excellent appreciation for preserving Carica in the surrounding environment (97.3%), while there was a low appreciation for using Carica to treat certain diseases (38%). Based on age, the elderly category showed the best appreciation for Carica utilization. Appreciation as a practice of local knowledge in the management and utilization of Carica can contribute to the conservation of Carica in the Dieng Plateau.
