Citrus is popularly known as the source of beneficial and essential nutrients for human health, including vitamins. The current review revealed the content of multivitamins, not only vitamin C but also vitamins A, B, and E that are not widely acknowledged within Citrus. Numerous Citrus genotypes contain vitamin C, with the grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) being the richest, and citron (C. medica) the poorest. Vitamin A in the form of β-carotene, α-carotene, and β-cryptoxanthin is commonly found within Citrus, especially in several colored flesh species such as grapefruit, mandarin (C. reticulate), and orange (C. sinensis). In terms of vitamin B, orange and grapefruit are proven to contain B-complex, including thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), inositol (B8) and folate (B9). Vitamin E in the form of α-tocopherol was detected in leaf kaffir lime (C. hystrix) and orange (C. sinensis), lemon (C. limon), mandarin (C. reticulate), and tangerine (C. nobilis) fruit. This review summarizes the nutritional content of Citrus; Citrus contains not only vitamin C but also other vitamins beneficial to human health, therefore Citrus consumption is highly recommended.

The fish feed waste and litters are organic matter that can be a source of nutrients for plants. This study is aimed to determine the growth and production of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) treated with wastewater from hard-lipped barb culture of several population densities. The research was carried out from April through June of 2020 at the greenhouse of the Agrotechnology Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Djuanda University, Bogor, Indonesia. The controlled study used a randomized block design with one factor, wastewater from fish population density of 10, 20 and 30 per 21 L of water, and AB Mix as a control. Plants treated with the AB Mix were significantly superior to those plants treated with the hard-lipped barb farming wastewater, demonstrated by taller plants, more and larger leaves, larger stem diameter and leaf area, longer roots, greater fresh and dry weight, as well as a higher leaf nitrate content. The aquaculture wastewater at the tested fish density in this study did not support optimal growth of lettuce, so lettuce production is still very low compared to those grown with the AB mix.

Priming is a physiological technique of hydration of seed to improve metabolic processes before germination to accelerate germination and seedling growth under normal and stress conditions. This research is aimed to study the pretreatment using ultra-fine bubble (UFB) water to increase viability and vigor of seeds before planting (pre-planting) and during storage (pre-storage). This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Seed Quality Testing, IPB University, Indonesia. The research consisted of two experiments, i.e., UFB water priming to increase viability and vigor of bean seeds and its storability after priming. The first experiment was arranged using a completely randomized design with a combination of seed lot treatments (L1: initial germination percentage (GP) about 80%, L2: initial GP around 70%, and L3: initial GP around 60%) with priming (P0: no priming/control, P1: soaked in distilled water for 60 minutes, P2: distilled water for 120 minutes, P3: 8 ppm UFB water for 60 minutes, P4: 8 ppm UFB water for 120 minutes, P5: 20 ppm UFB water for 60 minutes, P6: UFB water 20 ppm for 120 minutes). The second experiment was arranged using a nested design with the main factor being the condition of the storage room and priming as the second factor nested in the main factor. The storage room condition factors consisted of KM: room conditions (temperature 28±5˚C, RH 73±7%) and AC: air-conditioned room (18±2 ̊C, RH 61±7%). The priming factor consisted of two levels, namely P0: without priming and P1: priming with 20 ppm UFB water soaked for 120 minutes. The results showed that priming treatment with UFB water 20 ppm for 120 minutes as a pre-planting treatment can increase the viability of bean seeds, particularly for seeds with low initial viability, and primed bean seeds with an initial viability of approximately 80% were able to retain their viability for 16 weeks of storage in an air-conditioned room.

Pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi Krap & Greg.) is a legume that is usually used as a cover crop, bio mulch in fruit and vegetable plantations, ornamental plants, and animal feed. Pinto peanut has many benefits; through the symbiosis with rhizobacteria they can fix nitrogen, as ground cover can reduce the risk of landslides, inhibit weed growths, and is a source of nectar for bees. Arahcnis pintoi can be propagated vegetatively or generatively, but generative propagation is hard to conduct in the tropics because it takes a long time for the plants to produce seeds. Our study was conducted to determine the effect of GA3 application on seed production of A. pintoi. The experiment was arranged in a single factor randomized complete block design with GA3 concentration of 0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 ppm. An orthogonal polynomial test was conducted to determine the effective concentrations for GA3 on seed formation and seed viability. Harvested seeds were stored for 1 month, then sown on sand medium; the seeds were soaked in 1% KNO3 solution to break seed dormancy prior. Our study showed that the GA3 effective concentration range from 130.69 ppm to 137.16 ppm, indicated by the increase the number of flowers at 105, 120, 135, and 150 DAT up to 28.59% compared to control. GA3 at 126.80 ppm can also increase the number of harvested pods by 18.16%. The effect of GA3 on vegetative growth was shown by the increase in the growth of new individual plants concentration, i.e. 53.25 new individual plant with GA3 application of 141.88 ppm.

Abiu is a species introduced into Indonesia from the tropics of the Amazon and has been developing for several years. Information on the characteristics of the abiu plant are still limited compared to other introduced fruit species. This research aims to identify the characteristics of the abiu plants in two locations in the Bogor region, West Java, Indonesia. The research was conducted at Balumbang Jaya village, the sub-district of Dramaga, the village of Mekarsari, the sub district of Cileungsi, Bogor, West Java. Further observation was conducted at Post-harvest Laboratory and Micro Technic Laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture IPB. The field study was conducted in January to July of 2018. This research was descriptive and no treatment was applied on the plant samples. Sampling was done randomly with as many as 15 plants at each location. Observations and measurements were conducted on the number of branches, leaves and flowers on 10 samples per plants. The results showed that there is morphological diversity of flowers and leaves at the two locations. The length, width, and weight of leaves and flowers in Balumbang Jaya were larger than those in Mekarsari. Different environments may contribute to the diversity of abiu leaves and flowers in the two locations.

Phytophthora colocasiae Raciborski, an Oomycete phytopathogen, has been known for several decades as the causal agent of the most infectious and devastating disease of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott, known as taro leaf blight (TLB). Investigations were conducted in a screenhouse to determine the effects of fruit extracts of Citrus aurantifolia and Xylopia aethiopica on the incidence and severity of TLB. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized design with three replicates. Healthy taro seedlings obtained from the National Root Crops Research Institute (NRCRI), Umudike, were planted in plastic pots (5000 cm3) containing sterilized soil enriched with poultry manure. The plant extracts were applied as foliar spray on taro leaves with manually operated hand sprayer at 7 weeks after planting and continued at four days intervals for a period of 28 days. Positive check was maintained with the fungicide Ridomil (a.i. mefenoxam) applied at the rate of 0.67 mg.ml-1 while zero concentration in distilled water served as negative control. Data were subjected to one-way analysis of variance and means were separated using F-LSD. Results showed very high reduction of disease with plant extracts (P < 0.05) and Ridomil compared to the control. Citrus aurantifolia juice was more efficient in reducing the incidence and severity of TLB compared to X. aethiopica extracts and was highly significant (P< 0.05). The overwhelmingly fungitoxic effects of C. aurantifolia and X. aethiopica extracts on P. colocasiae as expressed in the reduction of disease suggests that these extracts can serve as alternative bio-fungicide for the control of TLB. Hence, further studies under field conditions are required to reestablish their efficacy.

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is a perennial species originating from sub-Saharan Africa. Cowpea has long been cultivated in Indonesia and is classified as a species tolerant of drought and acid soil. Cowpea shows its adaptation to acidic soil (pH = 4.83) by being able to produce 50% to 60% of the seed weight under optimum conditions. This enhances the potential of cowpea to be used and developed as one of the current food options. This research was carried out to optimise of cowpea productivity by studying the relationship between the source and sink of cowpea. This research was conducted from December 2020 to March 2021 at the Cikabayan experimental station, Bogor Agricultural University. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized block design. Four cowpea varieties were evaluated, “Albina”, “Arghavan”, and “Uno”. The measured parameters consisted of photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, plant growth rate, the net assimilation rate of the number of pods, pod weight, number of seeds per pod, dry seed weight, the weight of 100-seeds, and productivity. The cowpea varieties did not show significant differences in the rate of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, plant growth rate, and net assimilation rate. Photosynthesis rate in the three cowpea varieties ranged from 29.20 to 31.77 mol. m⁻².s⁻1 at 50% flowering, and from 17.01 to 19.79 mol.m⁻².s⁻1 at the first harvest. The three cowpea varieties in this study showed no differences in their source-sink capacity and productivity.

A field experiment was conducted at Fogera Northwest Amhara region to study the morphological traits to variability in 20 upland rice varieties, consisting of nine NERICA and eleven parents. The data were collected from ten randomly selected plants of each plot (plant height, panicle length, culm length, flag-leaf length, number of spikelet per panicle, number of grains per panicle, number of filled grains per panicle, numbers of fertile tillers per plant, yield per plant) and from plot bases (days to heading, days to maturity, grain-filling period, thousand-seed weight, biomass yield, grain yield, and harvest index). The results of the principal component analysis showed that four components account for 76.7% of the total variation, giving a clear idea of the structure underlying the variables analysed. Cluster analysis using un-weighted Pair Group Method using Arithmetic Average linkage (UWPGMA) classified the twenty varieties into five distinct groups. The maximum inter-cluster distances were; recorded 8.05 between cluster I & V, 6.67 between cluster I and IV; and 5.5 between Cluster I and III, indicating that the possibility of high heterosis if individuals from these clusters are cross bred. The results of the principal component analysis were closely in line with those of the cluster analysis. This study has provided useful information, on evaluation of genetic diversity of rice varieties and will indicate the way, how plant breeders screen out large populations and to develop new breeding protocols for rice improvement.

The results of the principal component analysis were closely in line with those of the cluster analysis. This study has provided useful information, on evaluation of genetic diversity of rice varieties and will indicate the way, how plant breeders screen out large populations and to develop new breeding protocols for rice improvement.","PeriodicalId":33751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tropical Crop Science","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80273470","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}

Rapeseed-mustard is an important oilseed species with high nutritional and economic values; it’s popularity increases due to its diverse uses. Ten genotypes of rapeseed-mustard and two sowing dates were evaluated in a split plot design with three replications. Our study demonstrated that sowing dates and genotypes greatly influenced the growth parameters, yield, and it contributing characters. BARI sarisha-16 had the highest yield (1613 kg.ha-1) whereas Binasarisha-9 yielded the lowest yield (840 kg.ha-1). All the yield contributing characters was superior in the earlier (10 November, S1) sowing date than the 24 November (S2), demonstrated by the highest grain yield (1120 kg.ha-1) which was 10 % higher than the seed sown on 24th November (S2) (1025 kg.ha-1), and better higher vegetative growth. These results affirmed that the yield contributing traits resulted the higher seed yield. In most of the studied characters, the higher phenotypic variances were observed than that of its genotypic variances. The significant positive correlation with grain yield were found in plant height, number of primary branches/plants, number of siliqua/plants, siliquae length, number of seed per siliquae, days of 50% flowering to maturity and 1000 seed weight. Therefore, based on the yield and the related traits, BARI sarisha-16 can be used for further utilization.

Photosynthesis rate plays a significant role in plant growth and development. A study was conducted to determine the best methods to grow sago planting materials from sago suckers. Photosynthesis rate, stomatal density, intercellular CO2 concentration, stomatal conductance, transpiration, sugar and starch content of the sago leaves from different methods of planting was determined. The field experiment was carried out at the Cikabayan Experimental Station from January 2020 to February 2021; the leaf morphology was conducted at the Microtechnical Laboratory and Testing Laboratory of the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University, Bogor, Indonesia. The treatments for the sago seedlings were immersion of the bare-rooted seedlings in water, immersion in water with media mix in polybags, transplanted to media mix in polybags, and immersion of bare-rooted seedlings for 4 weeks in water followed by transplanting to media mix in polybags. The study was arranged using a single factor a completely randomized block design, and quantitative data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2013 and the SAS. Stomatal density and photosynthetic rate were not significantly different between treatments. In contrast, the sugar content of immersed seedling without polybags for one month followed by transplanting to polybag had the best growth compared to those from other treatments, both at the nursery phase and post-transplanting phase. All planting methods resulted in good quality planting materials. At the nursery phase, sago seedlings immersed in water method grew the best; at the post-transplanting phases seedlings immersed bare-rooted for one month followed by transplanting to polybags grew better than those with other treatments
