Abstract. Nilawati TS, Surakusumah W, Annisya V. 2015. Land suitability for endemic plants in Kiara Payung Biodiversity Park, West Java. Nusantara Bioscience 7: 112-117. According to Bappenas data (2003), there are 38.000 species of plants, 55% of which are endemic, in Indonesia. However, in Indonesia, there is severe environmental deterioration which may cause extinction of endemic plants. One way to solve the environmental degradation is by conducting ex situ conservation, such as the establishment of Kiara Payung Biodiversity Park in Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia. The aim of this research was to determine land suitability of the park for plantation of endemic plants of West Java, Bouea macrophylla, Blumeodendron tokbrai, and Pterospermum javanicum, based on climatic and edaphic factors using GIS Arcview software. The climatic and edaphic data were taken from the field, and then they were overlaid in land unit maps with other parameters of every endemic plant species in West Java based on literature review. All data were interpreted based on land evaluation method by matching process. The results showed that the endemic plants B. macrophylla and P. javanicum are not suitable to be planted in Kiara Payung Biodiversity Park, while B. tokbrai is suitable to be planted in the entire blocks 5, 6, and 7 and part of blocks 2,3,4 and 8 of this park.

Abstract. Mohammadi MF, Najafi A, Ahmadlo F. 2015. Using the Analytical Network Process (ANP) based on BOCR Model to select the most suitable region for forestation with almond species. Nusantara Bioscience 7: 118-127. Forestation is the answer not only to the growing demand for timber and wood fiber, but also to the problem of deforestation. Forests in arid and semi-arid regions are in the specific conditions because of being in short of water and soil nutrition. Therefore, protection and rehabilitation of these forests is of very important due to its environmental condition as well as selecting suitable species for forestation. Considering all aspects of forestation in an effort to improve forest practices requires an approach that addresses multiple criteria and incorporates a wide range of data. After that, the approach should provide a framework to evaluate both quantitative and qualitative criteria. In this study, the Analytical Network Process (ANP) is utilized to evaluate four existing sites for forestation with Almond (Amygdalus scoparia) in Markazi province, central of Iran. The ANP framework helps forest managers to prioritize all the alternatives and criteria with respect to each other and developing their corresponding preferences. This study is an analysis of the environmental, social-economic, and sustainability-genetic diversion context of forestation with the goal of making forest practices more sustainable. The results indicate that Risk and Cost priorities are more important in making decision (0.53, 0.47), compared to Benefits and Opportunities (0.29, 0.25). The final synthesis of the system shows that Sarabadan (B site) is the best choice among four potential regions which were evaluated for forest plantation based on judgment’s comparisons.

Abstract. Johan O, Ginanjar R, Priyadi A. 2015. Coral health levels of wild ornamental coral in East Belitung waters, Indonesia. Nusantara Bioscience 7: 133-138. The distribution of coral diseases has been reported in waters having coral reef in the world including Indonesia, but there had been no report from East Belitung, Indonesia. This study was conducted on 25 March 2014 and on 26-27 April 2014 in nine locations, offshore of Belitung, namely in the Islands of Memperak, Bakau, Buku Limau, Pesambung, Muranai, Sembilan, Berlian, Tempuling, and Gresik. The objective of this study was to distinguish the levels of ornamental coral health due to infection and other coral health compromises. Data were collected using line transect method to estimate coral cover condition and using belt transect method to estimate coral disease prevalence. The results showed that the Black Band Disease (BBD), White Syndrome (WS), and Skeleton Eroding Band (SEB) were the main diseases, while the coral health compromisers were competition among coral, algae, sedimentation and pigmentation response. This is the first report of SEB disease from East Belitung, while other diseases have been found frequently. The prevalence of diseases was categorized as normal, and so, no management intervention is needed.

Abstract. Orabi SA, Talaat IM, Balbaa LK, Abdalla AE. 2015. Influence of pyridoxine and spermine on lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) plants. Nusantara Bioscience 7: 139-143. Two pot experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of pyridoxine and spermine (each at 50, 100 and 200 mg/L) on plant growth, essential oil yield, and its main constituents. All treatments significantly promoted plant height, fresh and dry mass (g/plant) of Cymbopogon citratus L., especially 100 mg/L spermine which mostly recorded the highest increments in total nitrogen, total phosphorous and total potassium mainly in the second cut, followed by 200 mg/L pyridoxine. Total phenols, essential oil % and oil yield recorded the maximum increments with spermine treatments followed by pyridoxine. Treatment of lemongrass plants with 100 mg/L spermine gave the highest relative percentage of citronellol (51.20%). Oxygenated compounds recorded the highest value (89.70%) with 200 mg/L spermine treatment, while the maximum non-oxygenated ones resulted from the untreated plants (13.65%). All treatments under study significantly affected the scavenging ability of the natural antioxidants of the plant extract towards the stable free radical DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-hydrate). Application of spermine at the concentration of 100 mg/L recorded the highest increment in phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) enzyme activity (µg/g F.wt.).

Abstract. Partasasmita R. 2015. The role of frugivorous birds in the dispersal of shrubs in submontane tropical forest, West Java, Indonesia. Nusantara Bioscience 7: 144-148. Shrubs are widely distributed, from lowland to mountainous area. Submontane forest zone is one of many ecosystem types rich in many species of shrub. The success of plant growth and establishment depends on the role of the seed dispersal agents. This study of shrub seed dispersal by frugivorous birds has been conducted in tea plantation area of Panaruban, Subang, West Java. To get seeds trapped in feces, samples of feces were collected from birds trapped in mist nets and from fecal dropped count method. The study sites were tea plantation which had been neglected for five years and bush in a secondary forest nearby. The results showed that seeds of 7 species of shrub were found in the feces of six species of frugivorous birds trapped in mist nets and one species of bird from fecal dropped count method. Based on feces analysis, of the seven shrub species, Clidemia hirta was dispersed mostly by Dicaeum trigonostigma, and then by Pycnonotus aurigaster. Sambucus javanica was mostly dispersed by Pycnonotus goiavier and Scissirostrum dubium. The germination rate of seeds collected from feces was 1.43-5.71% higher than that of seeds which had not passed through the bird’s digestive tract.

Abstract. Zulfiyah, Anggarwulan E, Sari SLA. 2015. Extraction and application of coloring agent of shrubby morning glory leaves (Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa) as dye in batik Nusantara Bioscience 7: 160-165. Natural dye is natural materials whose production is influenced by environmental factor. Natural material content affects the quality and intensity of products’ color. Shrubby morning glory (Ipomoea carnea Jacq. subsp. fistulosa (Mart. ex Choisy) D.F. Austin) has potency as a natural dye since it contains high tannin. The objective of the research is to determine the difference of tannin contents in the extract of shrubby morning glory leaves grow in field or rice field, and also the quality of batik’s color by using dyes extracted from these leaves using fixators iron sulphate (FeSO4), alum (Al2(SO4)3), and calcium oxide (CaCO3). Soil conditions observed are: soil texture, pH, nitrogen content (N), organic materials content, C-organic content. Data of the soil quality are analyzed descriptively. The result of fastness test is analyzed by Kruskal Wallis test and continued by Mann Whitney test with the significance rate of 95%. Data of tannin level are analyzed by t test-independent. The result of the study shows that the leaves of shrubby morning glory from rice-field contain high tannin, which is 1.52%. This type of soil is more fertile than field soil, with better soil texture, pH, N level, organic level, and C-organic. The fastness test shows that using extract shrubby morning glory dye which contains higher tannin is better. Batik’s dyeing using the extract of the plants growing in rice field with fixator of sulfate iron (FeSO4) has the best fastness.

Abstract. Anggarwulan E, Mudyantini W, Asiyah IJ. 2015. Chitosan treatment and storage temperature in the retardation of fruit ripening of red guava (Psidium guajava). Nusantara Bioscience 7: 153-159. Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a thin-skinned tropical fruit which is easy to ripe and rot. The objective of the study is to determine the effect of chitosan coating and storage temperature in restraining the ripening of guava and also to the combination of treatments which could be longest to lengthen its storage period. This study uses Completely Randomized Design, with two factors. The first factor is chitosan concentration of 0, 1, 2, and 3%, while the second factor is the storage temperature in 16°C and 28°C with three repetitions during four weeks. The quality of Psidium guajava which is observed during the storage is weight-loss, water content, fruit texture, reducing sugar content, vitamin C content, pigment rind (chlorophyll and carotenoid), respiration rate, and ethylene content. The treatment of chitosan concentration and the storage temperature of 16oC are able to maintain the fruit hardness, vitamin C content, and chlorophyll content; meanwhile, it shows a decrease in weight-loss, reducing sugar, respiration rate, and ethylene content. The combination of chitosan treatment of 3% with a temperature of 16°C is able to maintain the quality and to lengthen the storage period of Psidium guajava up to four weeks.

Abstract. Roslim DI, Pratiwi TN, Herman. 2015. Agronomic characters and heritability of the third generation of Kampar mung bean lines (Vigna radiata). Nusantara Bioscience 7: 166-170. Kampar district is one of the mung bean producing areas in Riau Province, Indonesia. The low productivity of Kampar mung beans can be enhanced by doing plant selection in each generation to yield an expected superior line. The research aims to determine the agronomic character and heritability of third generation of Kampar mung bean lines. This research was conducted from October to December 2014 in the experimental garden of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Riau, Pekanbaru, Indonesia. It used nine lines of mung beans and five replicates with the Completely Randomized Design as design of experiments. Agronomic characters observed included plant height, number of productive branches, flowering time, 90% of harvesting time, number of pods per plant, weight of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, seed weight per plant, weight of 100 seeds, pod color, and seed luster, Analysis of data uses analysis of variance (ANOVA) and if further significant differences are found, Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) will be carried out. The results showed significant difference for all the characters studied. All agronomic characters observed showed high heritability values, ranging from 0.92 to 0.98. G3 lines produce the highest number of pods per plant and highest number of seeds per pod and have small-sized seeds. G5 line has heaviest weight of pods per plant and heaviest weight of seeds per plant and they are in the criteria for medium-sized seeds. G1 lines’ seeds are classified as large seeds which are more superior to seeds of other lines. Therefore, lines of G1, G3, and G5 have the potential to be continued in the next generation because it is likely to contain potential sources of genes to get the superior Kampar lines mung bean.
