Abstract

Above ground biomass (AGB) is all living organic matters above the soil including stem, seed and leaves. This study aimed to estimate the individual clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and it’s above ground biomass using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in the Agroforestry area in Paninggahan, West Sumatra. This study used a photogrammetry method to calculate trees and estimated the AGB. We detected 257 numbers of trees based on aerial image analysis and observed 270 after we validated on ground check in the field. The result was slightly different between estimated AGB from UAV and observed AGB from our ground validation. The estimated AGB was 5.9 ton/ Ha where the surveyed AGB was 5.6 ton/Ha. The difference between estimated AGB and observed AGB was 0.3 ton/Ha.

Abstract

The an annual herbaceous tropical plant which is one of the species of the genus Tacca from the Dioscoreaceae family is Tacca chantrieri. T. chantrieri has a unique inflorescence morphology like that of a bat. The people of Southeast China and Thailand have used by T. chantrieri rhizome as traditional medicine because the methanol extract contains secondary metabolites such as diarylheptanoids, pseudofurostan, withanolide, taccalonolide, and saponins. To maintain its sustainability, it is necessary to propagate T. chantrieri by using in vitro culture techniques such as callus culture. The purpose of this study was to determine the response of T. chantrieri leaf callus formation and to determine the optimal concentration with various concentrations of 2,4-D and BAP in vitro. This study used a completely randomized design consisting of control treatments, 1 and 2 mg L-1 2,4-D and concentrations of 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0 2,4-D combined with 3 mg L-1 BAP. The observations were made for 60 days after planting. The results showed that the concentration of 1.5 mg L-1 2,4-D + 3 mg L-1 BAP affected the percentage of live explants and the percentage of callus formation by 100% respectively, and the time of callus appeared 18.75 days after planting.

Abstract

The Mentawai archipelago is situated to the west of mainland Sumatra and is part of the West Sumatra province. The Mentawai people are indigenous to this archipelago and are well known for their traditional healing practices performed by their Sikerei healers. Only a few studies on the traditional plant medicines of the Mentawai people have been published, which mostly suggest that Zingiberaceae is one of the most widely used families. This study examines the indigenous knowledge of Zingiberaceae by the Mentawai people living in Siberut. Field surveys were undertaken at four locations in the island where the Sikerei healers were interviewed directly to obtain information about medicinal treatments using plants from the Zingiberaceae family. Voucher specimens were collected, dried and deposited at the Herbarium of Andalas University (ANDA), Padang, West Sumatra. The study suggests that at least 32 Zingiberaceae species are used in the Mentawai’s traditional medicines. The floristic aspects, the plant part used, and the type of disease treated are discussed.

Abstract

Coffee is a drink that is very popular with the people of Indonesia and in other countries. Coffee has many benefits but on the other hand, coffee can also damage health, the dangerous content in coffee is caffeine and cafeeic acid. The effect of coffee consumption is still a matter of controversy, one of which is the effect on the kidneys because the kidneys are the main excretory organ for removing metabolic waste from the body. The kidney is the second organ after the liver, which is most often the target of damage by chemicals. This study aims to determine the effect of multilevel doses of white coffee on the histological picture of rats' kidneys. This research is a completely randomized design study with four 4 treatments and four 4 replications. Consists of K (distilled water), P1 (0.36 ml), P2 (1.08 ml) and P3 (2.16 ml). The results of this study showed that macroscopic observations of the administration of white coffee civet coffee solution with different doses showed that the kidneys looked normal. It is characterized by the shape of the kidney like a pea and brownish-red in color. The P0 group was significantly different from the P1, P2, P3 groups. The P1 group was significantly different from the P0 group and the P2 group, P3. The P2 group was significantly different from the P0, P1, and P2 groups. The P3 group was significantly different from the P0, P1, and P2 groups. This study concluded that white coffee in multilevel doses affects the histopathology of kidneys in rats.

Abstract

Tacca chantrieri belongs to the family Taccaceae has black flowers and has a long filiform that looks like a bat. T. chantrieri contains phytochemicals in the form of spritosol saponins used as traditional medicine by the people of China and Thailand. The amount of land clearing, forest exploitation and habitat destruction resulted in a reduction in the number of T. chantrieri, so T. chantrieri was propagated to maintain its sustainability. One way that can be used is the in vitro culture technique, namely callus culture. Callus culture is an early stage of in vitro culture technique where this stage aims to produce and multiply callus cells. The purpose of the study is were to determine the effect of different sucrose concentrations on callus induction from T. chantrieri leaf explants and determine the best sucrose concentrations for callus culture from T. chantrieri leaf explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media. This study used a single factor completely randomized design (CRD), namely sucrose concentrations 0 g/l, 10 g/l, 20 g/l, 30 g/l, 40 g/l, 50 g/l with five replications. The results of this study showed that the administrations of sucrose with different concentrations on MS media had an effect on increasing callus induction in Tacca chantrieri leaves. The best sucrose concertations for callus induction of Tacca chantrieri leaves was the addition of 40 g/l sucrose at 20 days after planting, 60 % callus formation percentage, callus formed in the form of compact callus and produce yellow-white callus. Keywords: Tacca chantrieri, sucrose, callus, Murashige and Skoog.
