Abstract

Global challenges such as hunger, malnutrition, and environmental degradation highlight the urgent need for a system-based understanding of the relationships among agriculture, food security, and nutrition. This review examines the interconnected nexus of these domains, emphasizing agriculture’s role not only in food production but also in shaping dietary quality and nutritional outcomes. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature, the paper synthesizes evidence on how agricultural intensity influences food availability, access, and utilization, and how nutrition outcomes, in turn, affect agricultural productivity and long-term sustainability. Major constraints, including climate change, weak policy integration, socioeconomic inequalities, and postharvest losses, are analyzed to categorize key barriers to nutrition-sensitive and sustainable food systems. The review further evaluates emerging approaches for nutrition-oriented agricultural development, including agroecological practices, biofortification, climate-smart agriculture, and integrated value chain strategies. Case-based and policy-oriented insights demonstrate the value of cross-sectoral collaboration and systems thinking in addressing complex food system challenges. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by strengthening linkages among food production, health, and consumption. Overall, the review supports a holistic farm-to-function framework as a foundation for building resilient, equitable, and nutrition-focused food systems while identifying critical research and policy gaps for future work.

Abstract

Genotypic performance in rice is significantly influenced by environmental heterogeneity, necessitating multi-location evaluation to identify adaptive and stable upland rice lines. This study evaluates the uniformity, adaptability, stability, and yield potential of five breeding lines (G1–G5) and five released varieties across two contrasting island environments: Jambi (Sumatra) and Mataram (Nusa Tenggara), from June to December 2024. A randomized block design is employed, and data are analyzed using ANOVA, DMRT, correlation analysis, phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation, and broad-sense heritability. Significant differences are detected among genotypes for all traits except filled-grain weight, with G2 exhibiting the highest yield per plot. All traits are significantly affected by location, indicating a strong environmental influence, while genotype and environment contributed independently to trait expression. Correlation patterns are generally consistent across locations, with the strongest association observed between yield per plot and grain weight. The majority of traits exhibit broad phenotypic and genotypic variability (87.5%), and 66.7% of the evaluated traits show high heritability, suggesting substantial potential for genetic improvement. Based on performance, lines G2 (white rice) and G5 (red rice) are recommended for further development and cultivation in upland rice ecosystems in Indonesia.

Abstract

Phenology is the study of periodic plant development influenced by environmental conditions. The thermal unit approach is a common concept to measure the effect of temperature on phenology. This study aimed to identify bunch phenology in 70 Angola accessions of the IOPRI collection using the thermal unit concept. The research was conducted at the Angola Germplasm Collection Garden, Adolina Seed Garden, North Sumatra from January 2017 to December 2022. Observations of bunch development were made on 70 trees every 10 days. Climate observations were made using the Automatic Weather Station Davis Vantage Pro II, including rainfall, air temperature, humidity, and wind speed.The study results revealed that among 70 Angola accessions, the thermal unit (oC days) required from the first leaf appearance to physiologically ripe bunches ranged from 4.980 to 6.450 oC days, with a time span of 409 to 530 days. Among these accessions, Accession AGO054/33-2 stood out as the one with the shortest development period, requiring only 409 days from the first leaf to physiologically ripe fruit. Accession AGO54/33-2 also showed lower heat accumulation compared to other Angola accessions, while Accession AGO105/18-27 required the highest heat accumulation. Statistical analysis indicated significant differences in thermal unit values among the accessions.

Abstract

Shallots (Allium cepa L.) are among the most important vegetable crops commonly cultivated in Indonesia. Anthracnose disease, caused by Colletotrichum sp., is a major constraint in shallot production, causing yield losses of up to 50% or more. Sustainable approaches for suppressing anthracnose disease using plant-based fungicides developed with nanotechnology seem promising. This study aimed to evaluate and determine the effective concentration of Anredera cordifolia (binahong) leaf nanoextract combined with chitosan nanoparticles (chitosan NPs) in controlling the in vitro growth of Colletotrichum sp. and reducing anthracnose disease on shallot plants. Chitosan nanoparticles and binahong leaf nanoextract were evaluated individually and in combination under in vitro and greenhouse conditions, including comparisons with acetic acid and mancozeb treatments. The results indicated that the application of chitosan NPs, both alone and in combination with binahong leaf nanoextract, was effective in suppressing the in vitro growth of Colletotrichum sp. The treatment consisting of 500 ppm chitosan NPs combined with 250 ppm binahong leaf nanoextract resulted in a 66% reduction of anthracnose disease on shallots, which was comparable to the mancozeb application.

Abstract

Modifying and enhancing crop resilience is not enough to combat the effect of worsening climatic conditions. Crop managers (farmers) should also gain resilience in order to sustain crop productivity under the evolving climate. Hence, a survey study was conducted in Bantuanon, Lantapan, Bukidnon involving 10 yam (Dioscorea alata L.) farmers to assess the cultural management practices employed in ‘Baligonhon’ yam during dry season cropping. Purposive sampling was used to identify the respondents. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered through interview and collection of crop specimens. Based on the results of the study, the set of cultural management practices employed in ‘Baligonhon’ yam varies across yam farmers. Similarly, production volume (yield per hectare), yield per plant and anthocyanin content differed across yam farmers. This indicates potential influence of variable cultural management practices employed. Nonetheless, there are specific and unique cultural management practices during dry season cropping that potentially favor production volume and anthocyanin accumulation. These include the use of heavier minisetts (>100 g) as planting material, longer growth duration (8 MAP) and installation of water impounding. Results of this study can be used as baseline information to formulate recommendations on appropriate cultural management practices to stabilize ‘Baligonhon’ yam production while maintaining its anthocyanin content in times of water scarcity.

Abstract

In rapidly urbanising tropical landscapes, small sections of forest on campuses provide space for the protection of biological variety, learning in the field and the observation of ecological systems. For this study, researchers measured the variety of tree species plus the arrangement of the community within the UCS Forest at UiTM Puncak Alam, Malaysia. To collect data, five squares measuring 20 meters by 20 meters were placed along a line that started at a random point. When the researchers found woody plants, they counted the individuals, measured the width of the trunks at the height of a person's chest and determined the species - looking at physical forms, pictures, and also books. By using richness, Shannon-Wiener diversity, Simpson diversity & Pielou evenness, the researchers measured how many species were present and how they were distributed. As part of the examination of the community structure, the study also included rank abundance analysis, clustering with the Bray-Curtis method, heatmaps, indicator species analysis, as well as non-metric multidimensional scaling. There are 146 woody individuals in the records, and those plants belong to 73 species and 28 families. In each square, the number of species is between 17 and 27, or the Shannon-Wiener diversity values are between 2.69 and 3.26. If one looks at the Simpson diversity values of 0.89 - 0.96 and the Pielou evenness values of 0.87 - 0.99, it is clear that no single species is much more numerous than others; the distribution is balanced. By using multivariate analyses, the researchers found that the squares contain different groups of plants, which shows that the area is not uniform. Due to the results, the UCS Forest likely has a level of tree variety that is not low, and the area is a useful place for the campus to protect nature plus study ecology.

Abstract

The Husk Tomato (Physalis angulata L.) has been valued as a medicinal plant due to its rich secondary metabolites. These compounds include physalins, which exhibit antitumor activity; withanolides, recognized as potent anti-inflammatory agents; and other components such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, and carotenoids. Despite its therapeutic potential, the commercial utilization of P. angulata remains limited by inconsistent fruit quality. This review summarizes current knowledge on Indonesian P. angulata germplasm, focusing on its botany, growth characteristics, genetic diversity, and metabolite profiles. Previous reviews mainly discussed botanical and pharmacological properties, whereas this review emphasizes Indonesian germplasm diversity and breeding perspectives. We critically evaluate several breeding strategies aimed at improving fruit quality, including the utilization of genetic resources, hybridization, mutation breeding, polyploidization, and in vitro techniques. Furthermore, we highlight the application of genetic engineering, particularly the overexpression of the squalene synthase (SQS) gene, suggesting that this approach could efficiently enhance the biosynthesis of squalene derivatives, such as physalins and withanolides. By evaluating the achievements and challenges of these strategies in P. angulata and other Solanaceae species, this review offers a roadmap for future research, aiming to maximize fruit quality and unlock the extensive biopharmaceutical applications of the Indonesian Husk Tomato.

Abstract

Agro-morphological characterization of maize is a preliminary tool for identifying genetic diversity and documenting morphological differences. The study aimed to characterize and determine the genetic diversity of 20 local accessions based on 21 qualitative and 10 quantitative traits. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at Lamjung Campus, using a complete randomized design with four replications. The frequency distribution for the qualitative traits highlighted high variability in silk and brace root anthocyanin coloration, kernel color, kernel row arrangement, uppermost ear shape, and kernel surface shape. Shannon-Weiner diversity index (H’) indicated the maximum diversity in kernel color (1.52) and the lowest diversity in stem color (0.46). Chi-square test showed that 5 qualitative traits exhibited significant variation: shape of the uppermost ear (14.8 **), stem color (9.8**), stay green (5*), tassel type (5*) and kernel color (11.2 *). These traits with significant variation are more under genetic control, serving as important phenotypic markers for distinguishing maize accessions and have potential for use in breeding programs. UPGMA clustering grouped accessions into four clusters based on quantitative traits with cluster II showing superiority. The significant variation among the maize confirms vast genetic diversity, emphasizing the usefulness of local collection in maize breeding program.

Abstract

The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst.) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), is a secondary pest that commonly attacks products in storage warehouses. Plant-based insecticides derived from local knowledge, such as those used by the Dayak tribe. The use of Shorea macrophylla by the Dayak tribe offers an environmentally friendly approach to pest control. This study was conducted to evaluate the insect repellent activity of the fumigant extract of S. macrophylla with ethyl acetate solvent against T. castaneum. This study consisted of five treatment concentrations, the treatment concentrations used were 30 μL, 60 μL, 90 μL, 120 μL, and 150 μL. Observations were made at six different times, ranging from 60 to 360 minutes. Each treatment was repeated five times and arranged with a Randomized Block Design. The repellent test was carried out using a Y-Tube olfactometer. The results showed that the repellent index increased with increasing concentration and exposure time. After 360 minutes of exposure, the lowest repellent index was 9.4% at a concentration of 30 μL, while the highest percentage was 65.8% at a concentration of 150 μL. This study shows the potential of S. macrophylla extract with ethyl acetate solvent as a botanical pest repellent that is quite effective in repelling T. castaneum.

Abstract

Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L.), an underutilized tropical legume, is valued for its nutrient content and anthocyanin-rich purple pods. Genetic improvement is critically needed for superior varieties, yet a fundamental understanding of target trait inheritance, especially pod color in advanced generations, remains limited. This study investigated pod color segregation patterns, gene number, and gene action in F3 and F4 winged bean populations. Using 46 F3 and 79 F4 individuals from a green-podded (PLB 2.3) x purple-podded (MDM 1.2) cross, qualitative data were analyzed using Mendelian ratios and chi-square tests. Results consistently showed a 13 green: 3 purple pod color segregation ratio in both F3 and F4 populations, indicating control by two gene pairs with dominant-recessive epistasis. Chi-square tests confirmed good fit for this model in F3 (X2 =0.06, p=0.8) and F4 (X2=0.40, p=0.5−0.7). This robust pattern confirms inheritance stability; the purple phenotype (aaB_) is expressed only when the inhibitory gene is homozygous recessive ('aa') and the color-forming gene is dominant ('B_'). These findings provide crucial genetic insights, facilitating targeted breeding for superior purple-podded winged bean varieties, and suggest F2 analysis might not be strictly necessary for initial genetic inference of this trait due to the observed consistency in advanced generations.
