Abstract

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a plant that has high economic value. Water availability is a challenge in cultivating tobacco plants. Drought can affect plant physiology, reducing the metabolic rate and productivity of tobacco plants. Urea fertilizer contains nitrogen as a macronutrient, which plays a role in vegetative growth and water absorption in drought stress. This research aims to study the resistance response of tobacco to varying conditions of water availability and nitrogen fertilizer application. The water availability treatment provided includes 100%, 75% and 50% of the field capacity. Variations in the dose of nitrogen fertilizer were 0.6 g; 1.2 g; and 1.8 g/polybag. This research was conducted using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The parameters measured were resistance responses including H?O? content and antioxidant enzyme activity such as SOD, CAT, and APX. The results showed that the more severe the drought, the higher the H?O?  levels. The plant resistance mechanism is indicated by the activity of the antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT, and APX, despite the fluctuating values observed during the experimental period. The application of nitrogen fertilizer at doses of 0.6 g, 1.2 g, and 1.8 g/polybag showed no significant differences in the physiological responses of the plants. As a result, a dose of 0.6 g/polybag can be recommended as an agronomically and economically efficient.

Abstract

The vulnerability of mangrove habitats to environmental changes driven by anthropogenic activities and climate change is a critical concern for sustainable ecosystem management. This study assesses the vulnerability of mangrove habitats along the coastal area of Biak Timur District, Papua, using the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) method. The CVI integrates five key variables: coastline profile, duration of tidal inundation, maximum tidal inundation height, salinity, and substrate type. Coastline profile data were derived from a decadal analysis (2013–2023) of shoreline changes. Tidal inundation duration and height were obtained through tidal data analysis, while salinity and substrate data were collected through field surveys and laboratory analyses. Each variable was scored and weighted within the CVI framework. The results indicate that the mangrove habitat in Biak Timur is in the "high vulnerability" category, with a CVI score of 5.69. This suggests a significant susceptibility to degradation from environmental changes, particularly those caused by human activities and climate change. Effective management should focus on minimising anthropogenic impacts and promoting sustainable use of mangrove resources.

Abstract

The genus Tor (Cyprinidae) comprises highly diverse freshwater fishes widely distributed in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. However, information on Tor species in several regions remains limited. This study aimed to identify Tor species from Telaga Rambut Monte, Blitar, using morphological analysis and molecular approaches based on COI DNA barcoding. Fish were collected through purposive sampling at depths of 1–2 m, and fin tissues were preserved in ethanol for DNA extraction. PCR amplification employed LCO1490 and HCO2198 primers, with sequence analysis conducted using BLAST and the BOLD System. Phylogenetic reconstruction applied Neighbour-Joining and Maximum Likelihood methods under the Kimura 2-Parameter model, supported by p-distance analysis with MEGA, Clustal X, BioEdit, and ABGD. Morphological characterisation confirmed the specimens as Tor tambra. COI gene amplification produced a 477 bp sequence, which showed 92% genetic similarity to the reference T. tambra. The phylogenetic tree revealed a distinct clade with a high bootstrap value (96%), clearly separating T. tambra from other congeners. Integrating morphological and molecular data provides robust evidence confirming the presence of T. tambra in Telaga Rambut Monte. This research represents the first study combining genetic identification, morphological analysis, and phylogenetic reconstruction of T. tambra from this locality. The findings contribute to understanding freshwater fish biodiversity in Indonesia and provide important baseline information on the distribution of local fish resources.
