Abstract

Herbicides that have less impact on non-target crops are better suited for weed control. The use of a commercial glyphosate-based herbicide (Roundup®) is a farmer's choice for controlling these weeds. The negative effects of glyphosate residues on cultivated crops, environment and human health have led farmers to switch to use bioherbicides. Ketapang (Terminalia catappa L.) leaves have been studied having the potential as bioherbicide but their effects on non-target plant have been less studied. This study aimed to examine the effects of Roundup® and Ketapang leaf extract on germination and chlorophyll content of cayenne pepper as non-target plant. This experimental study was conducted using completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 replications. Cayenne pepper was sown for 14 days. Parameters observed were germination, morphology, weight, and chlorophyll content of cayenne pepper sprouts. The data were analyzed using SPSS ver. 16 and tested with One-Way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis tests at p-value of 0.05 depended on parametric assumption tests. There were significant differences between the Roundup® solution treatment with the control on all parameters (germination parameters, weight, and chlorophyll content of cayenne pepper sprouts) (p<0.05). The effect was getting worse seen in cayenne pepper seeds given high doses of Roundup® solution. On the contrary, there were no significant differences between the treatments of the aqueous extract of Ketapang leaves with the control on all parameters (p>0.05), except the vigor index. There were morphological changes in the radicle and root of cayenne pepper sprouts exposed to them. Rotted radicles were highly visible in Roundup®-exposed sprouts.

Abstract

Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq.; Loranthaceae) is a shrub parasitic on various host tree species. This species is often used for herbal medicinal ingredients by local communities based on the spesies of host tree. The morphological characteristics of D. pentandra are important to study because their adaptation to different host trees may resulting population of ecotypes. This study aims to determine the variation of D. pentandra accession characters on different host tree species based on morphological characters and to determine morphological phenetic relationships between accessions. Besides studies of D. pentandra accessions in Yogyakarta Province have never been conducted in full. Sample collection (accession) of D. pentandra was conducted for various host tree species from various locations, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruit. Morphological characterization and scoring of each accession were conducted to create a similarity matrix using the Jaccard Coefficient formula. Based on the similarity matrix between OTUs and the UPGMA algorithm, it can be formed into a dendrogram. The results showed that the morphological variations of D. pentandra were found in phyllotaxis, leaf thickness, petiole length, number of stomata density per field of view, flower color, crown tube length, corolla lobe length, petal length, stamen : corolla lobe ratio, fruit color, and seed color. The population of D. pentandra in Yogyakarta can be divided into two groups, D. pentandra which has alternate and opposite arrangements in phyllotaxis. The accession dendrogram of D. pentandra in Yogyakarta was divided into five clusters starting from a similarity index of 0.089 to 0.952. Thus, the diversity of morphological variations of D. pentandra on host trees is high.

Abstract

Plectranthus (Lamiaceae) is a popular ornamental plant all over the world. The study of the genus Plectranthus in Java was considered complete after the publication of Flora of Java Vol. II. Many authors, however, have reported the presence of numerous alien species on the island in recent years. The aim of this research is to provide current information on Plectranthus in Java, particularly the newly recorded alien species. The study was carried out using the free exploration method in the provinces of Banten, Jakarta, West Java, and East Java. We reported the first occurrence of P. verticillatus (L.f.) Druce in Java in this paper. The species is a succulent herb native to Southern Africa that has grown in popularity as an ornamental plant throughout the world. It is a newly discovered alien species to the Alien Flora of Java. The species appears to have escaped cultivation, with spontaneous populations found in Jatihandap and Cipadung, both in Bandung City. We also reported that P. verticillatus is the only member of Plectranthus found in Java in a recent taxonomic study. There is a description, photographs, botanical illustrations, and a brief discussion.

Abstract

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt) is commonly cultivated by people in the forests of Moluccas Islands. This plant grows well on relatively infertile soil types. This is presumably due to the presence of symbiotic microbes in the root of nutmeg. The research aimed to isolate, characterize and test the potential of Actinomycetes from rhizosphere of nutmeg. Soil sample were taken from the nutmeg forest in Ambon Island. The Actinomycetes isolation using humic acid vitamin, continued with yeast malt agar (YMA) media. The testing of antibacterial and antifungal activities using YMA media, while cellulolytic activity, phosphate solubilizing, and xylanolytic activity using carboxyl methyl cellulose, Picovskaya agar, and birchwood agar or oat spelt xylan agar. A total of 12 isolates of Actinomycetes were isolated and dominated by Streptomyces with various types of aerial mycelia. The substrate mycelium looks brown and cream, while the aerial mycelium looks white and gray. These isolates had the highest inhibitory power against Escherichia coli and Fusarium oxysporum with indexes of 16.5 mm and 16.0 mm, respectively. The other isolates have the ability of cellulolytic, phosphate solubilizing, and xylanolytic with indexes 3.26, 3.87, and 1.2, respectively. The Actinomycetes isolates that were found can be used as starter to improve the biofertilizer formula for nutmeg.

Abstract

Brain is an organ to control our activities, such as human consciousness, emotional, and movement. It was controlled by amygdala and cerebral cortex as the parts of the brain. Many things that can bring over it. Bee venom (BV) is known as traditional medicine and probably can sway the brain. The objective of this study was to determine the dose of BV that causes excessive neuronal cells death, especially in the amygdala and cerebral cortex. About 15 white male mice Deutsch Denken Yoken (DDY) strain were divided into control group and the treatment group. BV was administrated intraperitoneally for two weeks with multilevel doses, that was 1.88 mg/kg, 3.76 mg/kg, 5.6 mg/kg, and 7.48 mg/kg. Brain tissue isolation was performed three days of the last administration by using perfusion method. Morphological sectioned of brain tissue (amygdala and brain cortex) was stained by hematoxylin-eosin (HE). The results indicated that the BV inclined to affect neuronal cells death in the amygdala and cerebral cortex. Based on the study, the highest doses (7.48 mg/kg) of BV caused the highest neuronal cell death.

Abstract

Preventing the action of pancreatic lipase is believed to be an effective method for treating obesity. Pancreatic lipase inhibitor act by suppressing the activity of pancreatic lipase, leading to a decrease in lipid absorption. Kombucha is a traditional fermented drink believed to have numerous health benefits, including as anti-obese. It can be produced using a range of substrates, such as butterfly pea flowers. The aim of this research was to investigate the inhibiting activity of kombucha made from butterfly pea flowers towards pancreatic lipase. The fermentation parameters monitored in this study included changes in cell density (OD600), the dry weight of the kombucha mushroom, pH, reducing sugar content, and the % titratable acid. The total phenol and total flavonoid content were also analyzed before and after fermentation. The inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase of butterfly pea flower kombucha was presented as an IC50 value. The findings indicated that as fermentation progressed, the pH level and amount of reducing sugar decreased while the % titratable acid, cell density (OD600), and dry weight of the kombucha mushroom increased. The phenol and flavonoid content of butterfly pea kombucha was found to be greater compared to that of butterfly pea infusion, with respective levels of 0.040 mg GAE/g and 0.017 mg QE/g. This study confirms that butterfly pea flower kombucha has the ability to inhibit pancreatic lipase in vitro with an IC50 value of 162.83 μg/mL. Compared to butterfly pea flower tea infusion, butterfly pea flower kombucha has been found to be more effective in inhibiting pancreatic lipase. Thus, butterfly pea flower kombucha might be a promising candidate for being developed as an agent for combating obesity.

Abstract

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) is part of the family Brassicaceae which has an annual-herbaceous habitus and is counted as a popular vegetable commodity in Indonesia so it has a high-demand market. To fulfill the demand market can be done by hydroponic cultivation and biofertilizer application. Application of biofertilizer which contains inoculant microorganisms can support plant growth with increased availability of nutrients in planting medium and neutralized salinity stress effect. Salinity stress is indicated by the high concentration of Na+ and Cl- ions in plants resulting in toxicity and osmotic stress which will inhibit plant growth. This study aimed to determine the effect of various dosages of biofertilizer on plant growth and productivity with plant height, leaf number, cortex thickness, metaxylem diameter, and ascorbic acid levels as parameters. This research used cow urine base biofertilizer containing nitrogen (N), phosphate (P), kalium (K), and calcium (Ca). There are a few treatments: negative control, positive control, biofertilizer treatment 40 mL, 80 mL, and 120 mL dosage, and salinity treatment by applying NaCl 5000 ppm 10 mL/system. As the result showed on 120 mL biofertilizer dosage has the highest mean of plant height and leaves number, and 80 ml biofertilizer dosage treatment has the highest average of cortex thickness and metaxylem diameter, but the various dosage of biofertilizer treatment did not have a significant effect on ascorbic acid levels increase. Growth in plants given biofertilizer is higher than the plant growth that grew in the negative control treatment. It can be concluded that the application of biofertilizer can support the growth of B. juncea L. in the hydroponic system under salinity stress.
