Abstract

Ten lettuce varieties are analyzed for antioxidant activity, total phenolic, nitrate, and nitrite contents, and the effects of harvest maturity and cold storage in selected varieties are determined. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content (TPC) are the highest in Red Oak, Red Coral, Red Rapids, and Grand Rapids; intermediate in Green Oak, Green Cos, and Frillice Iceberg; and the lowest in Butterhead, Mini Green Cos, and Head lettuce. Nitrate content is the highest in Red Coral, while the other 9 varieties have comparably lower contents. Nitrite content is inadequate and does not differ with variety. Harvest maturity of 45 days after transplanting (DAT) produced the highest antioxidant activity and TPC, much higher in Red Bowl and Red Butterhead varieties than in Mini Green Cos, Butterhead, Frillice Iceberg, and Green Big Bowl varieties. Storage at 8oC for 21 days has no remarkable effects on antioxidant activity, TPC, nitrate, and nitrite contents. Stored Red Bowl lettuce has higher antioxidant activity and TPC than Butter-head and Green Big Bowl varieties. Nitrate content decreases at the end of storage, while nitrite content is below 1 mg/kg FW during the entire storage period, regardless of variety.

Abstract

Rice stem borers (RSB) cause the same damage symptoms and occur through the season and time. During the off-season for rice, these stem borers are not well-known. The research aims to determine the effect of fallowing rice on the presence of rice stem borers and their parasitoids, the potential for RSB infestation, and their parasitoid on subsequent rice seedlings in nurseries at Karawang Regency, West Java. Several variables are observed, including the number of rice stem borer larvae on stubbles, egg masses, the percentage of parasitized eggs, and the number of adults of rice stem borer in nurseries. The results show that species of rice stem borer on the fallow rice are Scirpophaga incertulas and Sesamia inferens. The population of S. incertulas is significantly higher on long rice fallow. The height of the paddy stubble at the two locations is not very different. However, the infested stubble in the short fallow period is higher than those in the long fallow. Eggs of S. incertulas whose high percentage hatched and parasitized, are primarily found in nurseries of areas with long fallow. There are three species of parasitoids identified.

Abstract

Pesticides are increasingly used to deal with crop-disrupting organisms. However, only 1% are on target, and the rest threaten agricultural ecology. This research aims to study the effect of Sub-bituminous coal (SC) on the change of negative charge activity (NCA) on two types of land, namely secondary forest (SF) and pesticide-contaminated horticultural land (HL-P). Two studies respectively used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications on two land types and five doses, namely: A = control or 0 t/ha [0 g SC/500 g soil]; B = 10 t/ha [2.5 g SC/500 g soil]; C = 20 t/ha [5.0 g SC/500 g soil]; D = 30 t/ha [7.5 g SC/500 g soil]; and E = 40 t/ha [10 g SC/500 g soil]. The results show that the effect of 40 t/ha SC can increase NCA on the surface of soil colloids (ΔpH) by 43% in SF and 23% in HL-P. The effect of 40 t/ha SC on the two types of land has a significant effect on increasing pH H2O, EC, CEC, and OM composition, respectively, by 0.70; 0.04 dS/m; 44.30 cmol(+)/kg and 7.60% in SF and 0.33; 0.01 dS/m; 26.89 cmol(+)/kg and 3.00% in HL-P, compared to the control.

Abstract

Tana Luwu area owns a relatively high diversity and production potential of sago, but it has not yet been managed optimally. This study aims to identify and analyze the diversity of morphological characteristics and the production of various sago accessions in Tana Luwu. Based on morphological characteristics, the sago palm in Tana Luwu is divided into two groups by the presence of thorns on the rachis and petioles. The presence of thorns has the largest coordinate axis angles, representing a higher diversity distance than other morphological characteristics. Some accessions show very high production potential, with a total production of 476.66 kg per dry tree starch. The average sago production in the six accessions is 276.40 kg per dry tree starch. Accessions with a yield potential > 200 kg per dry starch are observed in Kapa, Uso, Kasimpo, and Sabbe. Therefore, sago in these accessions is potentially developed to obtain superior varieties. Two significant morphological characteristics that contribute to sago production are stem height (r = 0.73) and the number of leaves (r = 0.78).

Abstract

The success rate of explant morphogenesis in plant breeding using tissue culture techniques is frequently plagued by browning due to the oxidation of phenolic compounds. The cumulated amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) drives the oxidation of phenolic compounds. Melatonin is reported to take a part in modulating the regulation of antioxidant gene expression, reducing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and enhancing the efficacy of tissue culture. This study aims to determine the optimal melatonin concentration on the efficiency of plantlet regeneration and expression of the antioxidant resistance gene in rice callus. This study utilizes rice TN1, Gogo Niti II, Ketan Hitam, and Cigeulis cultivars. Melatonin at 0, 10, and 15 µM concentrations is supplemented in plantlet regeneration media. Rice antioxidant-related genes, Mn-SOD, Cu/ZnSOD, Cytosolic APX, CAT, GPOD, OsAPX, and OsCATA, expressed after melatonin supplementation. Melatonin concentration at 10 µM generates the highest expression of all tested genes in TN1 compared to other varieties. The cumulated amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) shows that Melatonin has the potential to increase the proportion of plant regeneration in Cigeulis (90.48%) and Ketan Hitam (91.67%) varieties with a concentration of 10 µM and in TN1 (94.44%) and Gogo Niti II (80%) at a concentration of 15 µM.

Abstract

Concerns over the negative impacts of climate change on ecosystems and human life have entered a new phase where many hypothetical views are fast becoming realities. Presently, the rampaging effect of climate change is, in theory, causing ecological catastrophes, and it is being felt at an alarming scale worldwide. As an important ecological niche, the soil ecosystem hosts a diversity of microbiomes and macrobiomes and affords a soil-plant-microbes ecological continuum. Also, it supports essential ecological processes meant to promote life-sustaining habits. However, changes in plant diversity due to increasing greenhouse effects, anthropogenic activities, and global warming have severely impacted the stability of soil microbial communities and interactions, particularly the soil-plant-microbe interaction. A good understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the plant-soil-microbial interactions, the complexity of the soil microbiome, ecosystem adaptability to climate change-induced stresses, and niche functionality of microbiota is necessary for the empirical impact assessment of climate change on soil microbial behaviors. Moreover, the soil system parameters and the various ecological services affected need to be further studied to identify opportunities that could assist the quest to mitigate the debilitating effects of climatic change in the soil ecosystem and sustainable food security initiatives.

Abstract

Fruit flies are an economic important of pest on horticultural crops. One of the commodities that are affected much due to fruit fly attack is salacca var. pondoh. The number of fruit flies attacking salacca increased from 2018 to 2021. The aims of the research was to study the population dynamics in salacca orchards in relation to climate factors and host plants. The research was conducted from July 2022 to May 2023 in salacca orchards that are members of the Salacca Farmers Association Mitra Turindo in Wonokerto, Turi, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The methods were counting the number of fruit flies trapped in three observation groups with different levels of sanitation and host plants around salacca orchards. Descriptive and arithmetic methods were used to determine the pattern of population oscillation among the three observation groups and differences in sanitation levels and host plants around the salacca orchards. The result showed that population fluctuations of Bactrocera spp. in salacca orchards were correlated with rainfall and relative humidity and less correlated with temperature and wind speed. Fruit fly abundance was lower in salacca orchards with better sanitation and fewer host plants around the salacca orchard.

Abstract

The ecosystem's biodiversity and soil microorganisms are impacted by the increasing use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which causes soil acidity and limits the sustainability of agricultural output. The majority of microbial functions in acidic soil are inhibited because of decreasing nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition as well as diminishing bacterial and fungal growth and reproduction.  In light of these growing concerns, the use of microorganisms as bio fertilizers is a recommended as alternative agricultural practice. Recent times have brought about a change in the paucity of study on yeasts and their ability to safely boost plant growth. Numerous works on bacteria have been made available. The primary objective of the study is to highlight the widespread application of yeasts in sustainable agricultural practices to promote plant growth in acidic soils. All of the advantages that yeasts provide may contribute to the growth of plants. Therefore, a thorough investigation into yeasts may be fruitful and offer a sustainable means of boosting agricultural yields that are necessary in acidic soil.

Abstract

Soil acidity is one of the main factors limiting the growth and sustainable production of oil palm in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of various exogenous compounds on improving fruit growth and oil yield of palm oil grown on Ultisol. The experiment employed three treatments which were arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatments were: 1-MCP (0, 100, 200, and 300 ppm), CaCl2 (0 and 50 ppm) and NAA (0 and 200 ppm). Application of Ca2+, NAA and 1-MCP either single or in combination improved fruit growth and oil yield by increasing almost all variables, except the number of bunches, bunch weight and fruit set. The 100 ppm 1-MCP + 50 ppm Ca2+ + 200 ppm NAA treatments showed the highest oil-to-dry mesocarp content. To get the highest oil to bunch (OB), the combination of 100 ppm 1-MCP + 200 ppm NAA; 50 ppm Ca2+ + 200 ppm NAA, and a single treatment of 50 ppm Ca2+ were very promising to be utilized.

Abstract

Two different melon cultivars, Canary and Vietnamese non-sweet melons, are used to compare the fruit's sweetness levels. The results indicate that the Canary melon is much sweeter than the non-sweet melon. The transcript levels of the sugar metabolism genes, including Cucumis melo ACID INVERTASE 2 (CmAIN2) and SUCROSE SYNTHASE 1 (CmSUS1), are examined in two fruit tissues. PCR using cDNA and the electrophoresis assays indicate that the CmAIN2 and CmSUS1 primer sets are specific, and only one band of PCR product is obtained from all tested samples. The quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) assay is applied to compare the transcript levels of the CmAIN2 and CmSUS1 genes in fruit tissues of the Canary and the Vietnamese non-sweet melons. Consistent with the sweetness levels, the CmAIN2 and CmSUS1 transcript levels are higher in the Canary melon than those in the non-sweet melon. These results imply that the local sugar metabolism in the fruits may also play an essential role in determining fruit sweetness. In addition, practically, the transcript levels of the CmAIN2 and CmSUS1 genes can be accessed and used to predict the sweetness of melon fruits early.
