Community structure analysis is one way to describe and assess the environmental quality of an ecosystem. One part of environmental biotic that make up mangrove water ecosystems is bivalves. The mangrove area in the Pangkajene river estuary has become one of the bivalve habitats, which has been widely used by the community. Research on the bivalve community structure of the mangrove area in the Pangkajene river estuary was conducted in April - June 2019, which aims to get an overview and assess the environmental conditions of the mangrove area in the Pangkajene river estuary based on the bivalve community structure. The research place was divided into three stations, each station was divided into two sampling areas, and in each sampling area six sampling points were placed. Sampling was carried out using a 50 x 50 cm plot method. Community structure limits calculated include density, diversity index, uniformity, dominance, and dispersion, as well as measurement of water parameters including pH, Organic C, and substrate texture. The results showed that the composition of bivalve community types consisted of 19 species included in 12 families. The dominant type is Saccostrea sp. with a density of 15.11 ind / m2 (Cr 50.77%). The species diversity index value ranges from 0.91 - 1.91 with an average of 1.50, which indicates the level of diversity of bivalves is relatively low. The Bivalvia community uniformity index includes the unstable criteria and the level of dominance index includes the stable community criteria, with a uniform distribution pattern.

Hyptis capitata is a plant in the family of Lamiaceae used to prevent wound infection and as an antidote for food poisoning by the Bentian people, a local tribe in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Of the plants in the Lamiaceae family, the biological activities and phytochemical studies of H. capitata are less reported. This work aims to investigate the phytochemicals and biological activities of H. capitata grown at two locations in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Leaves of H. capitata collected from location 1, Samarinda (coded by HSM), and location 2, West Kutai areas (coded by HWK), were macerated using ethanol. The biological activities of the plant were evaluated in terms of antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, and cytotoxicity against Artemia salina, while phytochemicals were analyzed by qualitative and quantitative tests. The results showed that leaf extract of H. capitata contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates, and coumarins. HSM possessed higher phenolic and flavonoid content than that of HWK. HWK displayed more antimicrobial activity against the test microorganisms particularly P. acnes (29%), S. sobrinus (49%), S. aureus (51%), and E. coli (45%). HSM showed more radical scavenging activity in 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (IC50 13.69 μg/ml) and superoxide (IC50 65.11 μg/ml) tests. Brine shrimp lethality test showed no toxicity of H. capitata leaf extracts. The results displayed that H. capitata collected from the two locations showed good antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The results suggested that the biological activities and phytochemicals of H. capitata were affected by the environment where the plant was collected. A study into deep analysis of the effect of light intensity, temperature, soil nutrition, and predatory risks to the biological activity and phytochemicals of the plant is required.

A decrease in the area of soybean farming has an effect on reducing soybean production from year to year so that it has not been able to meet the needs of national soybean consumption. Land suitability assessment is an effort to be able to optimize land use. In the process of assessing land suitability manually, it is considered inaccurate. The purpose of this study was to determine the land suitability class for soybean plants. The land suitability classification system used is the FAO land suitability classification classified at the sub-class level. Land suitability evaluation uses a matching system, as well as comparing the characteristics of land with plant growing community formulated in the technical evaluation of land guidelines for agricultural commodities. In the matching process Leibig's minimum law is used to determine the limiting factors that will affect the suitability of the class and sub-class of the land. Requirements for growing plants become kiteria in conformity evaluation. The results showed that the limiting factors of land suitability for soybean plants that had to be improved were temperature, rainfall, soil texture, C-Organic, N-Total and P-Available soil. The limiting factor of temperature and soil texture cannot be improved so that the marginal fit class (S3) on actual land suitability remains marginal fit (S3) in terms of potential land suitability.

Star fruit is a non-seasonal fruit that can be harvested three to four times a year. One possible way to process a star fruit is to make it into sorbet. Additional ingredients such as sugar and lime juice will help improve the quality of star fruit sorbet. The purpose of this study was to acquire the best formulation of honey star fruit sorbet by adding sugar and lime juice and to find out the effect of different concentration of sugar and lime juice on the level of predilection, physical traits, level of vitamin C, and antioxidants activity. This study consisted of two phases; the production of lime essence in phase one and the making of star fruit sorbet in phase two as the main study. The result of best formulations selected based on organoleptic test of panellists’ level of predilection were formulation of 150 g sugar + 30 g lime, 90 g sugar + 60 g lime, and 120 g sugar + 60 g lime. Analysis of variance results indicated different formulation of star fruit sorbet had significant effect (P<0.05) on colour, flavour, aroma, and overall but showed no difference on the texture of star fruit sorbet. Overall, the best formulation was 150 g sugar + 30 g lime juice with overrun score of 23.52%, pH 4.20, sugar content of 26.85 oBrix, melting time of 43.16 minutes, vitamin C content of 0.968 mg, and antioxidant activity of 320.86 ppm.

Environmental conditions caused by air pollution are so large that it impacts on changes in the ecosystem that affects all aspects of human life. Climate change is caused by increasing greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere because the Earth's atmosphere receives more carbon than it releases. This study aims to determine the potential of biomass and carbon uptake in mangrove stems in Pohorua village, Muna Regency. The research is quantitative descriptive, sampling using the Point Center Quarted Method (PCQM) technique measured around the height of the chest height mangrove tree (DBH). Data analysis was performed using an allometric equation in which each mangrove plant has a specific gravity. Carbon uptake found in mangroves stored in the roots, stems and leaves of mangrove plants, the results of the study showed that mangroves can absorb carbon quickly.

Rice Oryza sativa L is a staple food crop, and its seeds are the most important component part of the agronomic trait of the cereal crop, rich in nutrient and of economic value to human and even livestock. But, it is often threatened by various abiotic and biotic conditions that reduce the yield, because of high incidences of infectious disease agents and non-pathogenic conditions respectively. Pyramiding of the requisite resistance and tolerance genes into single elite high yielding variety of rice, confers wider spectrum of stress management, resulting to development of single multiline variety of rice. Marker-assisted selection utilizes DNA marker-linked primers for blast resistant gene (RM8225; Piz , RM6836; Piz , Pi2 , Pi9 ), bacteria leaf blight (RM224; Xa-4 , RM122; xa-5 , RG136; xa-13 , RM21; Xa-21 ) and drought tolerance (RM236; qDTY 2.2 , RM520; qDTY 3.1 , RM511; qDTY 12.1 ) in pedigree, backcross and recurrent selection breeding methods. The objectives are to create awareness on the environmental safety of host-resistance, significance of single multiline resistance variety, effect of the interaction of stress conditions and associated simple sequence repeat (SSR) linked markers.

Lentil and chickpea are important winter legumes of Nepal. The experiments were carried out to evaluate the agronomic performance of lentil and chickpea genotypes at research field of Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Bhagetada, Doti, Nepal during winter seasons of 2012 and 2013. The 16 lentil genotypes were evaluated in both years whereas 20 and 14 genotypes of chickpea were evaluated in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results showed that both lentil and chickpea genotypes indicated differences for their morphological traits namely plant height, flowering, maturity, pods/plant and grain yield. The combined analysis of trials over years showed that lentil genotype namely Black Masuro produced the highest grain yield (790 kg/ha) followed by LG 12 (746 kg/ha) and ILL 3111 (747 kg/ha), respectively. Similarly, chickpea genotypes namely ICCX 840508-31 produced the highest grain yield (953 kg/ha) followed by ICCX 840508-40 (911 kg/ha) and BG 372 (850 kg/ha), respectively. It is suggested that the superior genotypes derived from these experiments could be further evaluated in farmers’ fields before making recommendation for general cultivation

The pooled analysis of the results showed that the highest grain yield was produced by Ganesh-1 (4830 kg/ha) followed by KKT-POP (4408 kg/ha), KKT-14 (3952 kg/ha) and MGU-08 (3913 kg/ha, respectively. From this study, Ganesh-1, KKT-POP, KKT-14 and MGU-08 could be preferable choice for cultivation in Jumla district of Nepal.","PeriodicalId":14981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biology & Biotechnology","volume":"24 1","pages":"35-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81472434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is a cereal and staple food crop of over half of the world’s population. Blast, bacteria leaf blight and drought stresses affect yield of rice drastically ranging from 1-100% loss depending on the severity of disease and water deficit condition. Resistance and tolerance high yielding varieties of blast (Putra1) and drought (MR219 IR99784-156-137-1-3) respectively and also IRBB60 (bacteria leaf blight) were used. The research considered the genetic inheritance of the new improved lines and their interactions. Pedigree breeding method was used to develop two single, double and three-way (and reciprocal) crosses through marker-assisted selection. Southern blot analysis was used to determine success of introgression of resistance/tolerance genes/QTLs and selection, also validated by phenotyped results. Agro-morphological and yield parameters of the various populations were analysed. The results indicated levels of significant differences amongst and between treatments for non-drought stress (NS) and reproductive drought stress (RS) and their interactions. There were significant variation among parents and improved lines on some traits in NS treatment, but RS significantly affected parameters of DF, FFG, YM and most especially the susceptible parent, while the improved lines were tolerant. Significant interactions was recorded (P≤0.05) between treatment and variety (Trt*Var.) on PL, T, FFG and GLW. Cluster analysis and PCA of relationship among the 9 traits in the two treatments revealed that each of single, double and three-way (and reciprocal) crosses had good lines either under NS and RS.
