Abstract

Species distribution models (SDMs) have been used across continents and taxonomic groups to guide field surveys and improve detection efficiency. In several studies, SDM-guided approaches achieved Area Under the Curve values between 0.90 and 0.976, with some reports documenting the discovery of new populations (e.g., 4 of 8 species or 5-16 additional sites) and time savings of up to 70% compared with unsystematic surveys. One study noted that Gaussian Process models operated 70 times faster than an alternative estimation method. Additional work indicates that SDMs narrow survey areas and enhance cost effectiveness, particularly when environmental layers and robust occurrence data support model development. These studies show that, when applied with methods such as Maxent and ensemble approaches, SDMs offer a viable alternative to direct field surveys for locating wild species over large areas. Limitations arise when data quality or model specification is insufficient, suggesting that careful design remains essential for reliable outcomes.

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.

Abstract

Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. is one of the species of Asteraceae which is potential as medicinal. Propagation of the species could be conducted by vegetative, so the plant genetic variability is narrow. Genetic variability could be increased by somaclonal variation through callus culture. There is no report on in vitro regeneration from callus culture, although this method could assist further genetic improvement of plants. In this experiment, different concentrations of 2,4- D (0.1 ; 0.3 ; 0.5 mg L -1 ) singly or combination with BA (0.1 ; 0.3 and 0.5 mg L -1 ) were evaluated for callus induction and several concentrations of BA (0 ; 0.1; 0.5 and 1.0 mg -1 ) combination with kinetin (0.1 and 0.3 mg-1) were observed for ability of callus formed shoots. The results showed that the best media for callus induction was 0.5 mg L -1 2,4-D + 0.5 mg L -1 BA. This treatment produced friable callus structure, no roots and yellowish white. Callus regeneration was obtained on the combination of 0.1 mg L -1 BA. + 0.1 mg L -1 kinetin and 0.1 mg L -1 BA + 0.5 mg L -1 kinetin but the percentage was still low. Keywords: G procumbens {Lour.} Merr, induction, regeneration, calli, in vitro
