Judul: Potensi Trichoderma spp. Sebagai Agens Hayati dalam Pengendalian Ganoderma sp. yang Menyerang Tanaman Sengon
Abstrak: Sengon (Falcataria mollucana) is one of the forestry plant that widely developed by the community of Indonesia farmers especially in Java Island. Nowadays, sengon is widely planted with a monoculture system, therefore emerging many serious problems in silvi-culture. One of the serious problems was attacked by the pathogenic fungi, Ganoderma sp., which mainly caused root rot diseases. This research was aimed to investigate the ability of Trichoderma spp. in controlling the in vitro growth of Ganoderma sp. and to evaluate the capability of T. harzianum in inhibiting the growth of Ganoderma sp. on sengon timber substrate at greenhouse. This research was carried out in three experimental stages as follow: stage 1: study the growth activity of Ganoderma sp.; stage 2: study the inhibition activity of Trichoderma spp. towards the growth of Ganoderma sp. and stage 3: control the growth of Ganoderma sp. on Sengon timber substrate at greenhouse. Our results showed that the growth rate of Ganoderma sp. was expert on PDA and MEA medium each 12 days and 14 days incubation, respectively. Afterwards, the petridish was full of the Ganoderma sp. mycelium after 14 days incubation. In this study, the average value of the growth of Ganoderma sp. on PDA medium (7.09 mm day-1) was significantly differs to the growth of Ganoderma sp. on MEA medium (5.41 mm day-1). Besides of that, the fastest growth of Trichoderma spp. was shown by T. pseudokoningii such as 38.14 mm day-1 and significantly differs to T. viride, 27.71 mm day-1 and T. harzianum, 26.31 mm day-1. Based on antagonistic test, T. harzianum exhibited the best inhibition to Ganoderma sp. on PDA medium up to 74.19% and significantly differ to T. pseudokoningii 59.37% and T. viride 41.36%. Similarly on MEA medium treatment T. harzianum exhibited the best inhibition to Ganoderma sp. up to 73.00% and significantly differ to T. pseudokoningii 60.22% and T. viride 51.58%. The inhibition growth of Ganoderma sp. on sengon timber substrate at greenhouse showed that after 1 week, there was a decreasing growth of Ganoderma sp. mycelium when the sengon timber was submerged (Xt1) and obtained the highest value of inhibition up to 1.12 cm on sterile soil treatment + T. harzianum, whilst on sterile soil treatment without T. harzianum, there was an increasing growth of Ganoderma sp. mycelium up to 0.67 cm. Likewise, after 2 weeks of sengon timber submersion (Xt2) on sterile soil treatment + T. harzianum there was a decreasing growth of Ganoderma’s mycelium up to 2.41 cm, whereas on sterile soil treatment without T. harzianum, there was an increasing growth of Ganoderma sp. mycelium up to 1.22 cm.

Judul: Potential of Biological Agents in Controlling Ganoderma sp. in Sengon Stands on Post Mining Land, North Kalimantan
Abstrak: Reklamasi menggunakan tanaman sengon pada lahan PT. Pesona Khatulistiwa Nusantara masih rentan terhadap serangan hama dan penyakit. Jenis penyakit yang umum ditemukan pada tanaman sengon adalah penyakit busuk akar merah yang disebabkan oleh cendawan patogen Ganoderma sp. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh agens hayati yaitu, cendawan Trichoderma sp. dan cendawan JakabaBHP01 dalam menghambat pertumbuhan cendawan Ganoderma sp. serta menganalisis pengaruh waktu dalam proses penghambatannya. Uji antagonis dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kultur ganda antara cendawan patogen dan cendawan antagonis pada media Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). Perlakuan pengaruh waktu dilakukan dengan dua cara : a) penumbuhan Ganoderma sp. dan cendawan antagonis secara bersamaan dan b) menumbuhkan terlebih dahulu Ganoderma sp. selama 7 hari sebelum diuji daya hambatnya terhadap cendawan antagonis. Hasil uji antagonis menunjukkan bahwa Trichoderma sp. dan JakabaBHP01 dapat menghambat pertumbuhan patogen dengan waktu peletakkan yang dilakukan bersamaan. Hasil penghambatan tertinggi pada Ganoderma sp. A1 adalah perlakuan dengan menggunakan Trichoderma sp. dengan persen penghambatan sebesar 95,63% dan pada Ganoderma sp. A2 perhambatan tertingginya juga dengan perlakuan Trichoderma sp. yaitu sebesar 98,74%. Mekanisme penghambatan pada Trichoderma sp. adalah mekanisme kompetisi dan pada JakabaBHP01 adalah mekanisme mikoparasitisme., Reclamation using sengon plants on PT. Pesona Khatulistiwa Nusantara was still vulnerable to pest and disease attacks. The type of disease commonly found in sengon plants was red root rot disease caused by the pathogenic fungus Ganoderma sp. This research aims to analyze the influence of biological agents, namely, the fungus Trichoderma sp. and the JakabaBHP01 fungus in inhibiting the growth of the Ganoderma sp fungus. and analyze the influence of time in the inhibition process. The antagonist test was carried out using a double culture method between pathogenic fungi and antagonist fungi on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media. The influence of time was treated in two ways: a) growing Ganoderma sp. and antagonistic fungi simultaneously and b) grow Ganoderma sp. for 7 days before testing its inhibitory power against antagonistic fungi. Antagonist test results showed that Trichoderma sp. and JakabaBHP01 can inhibit the growth of pathogens with simultaneous laying times. The highest inhibition results on Ganoderma sp. A1 was a treatment using Trichoderma sp. with percent inhibition of 95.63% and in Ganoderma sp. A2 also had the highest inhibition with Trichoderma sp. namely 98.74%. Inhibitory mechanisms in Trichoderma sp. was a competition mechanism and in JakabaBHP01 it was a mycoparasitism mechanism.

Judul: Warna bulu kucing ras Persia : variasi pola warna dan pewarisannya
Abstrak: Kucing Persia merupakan kucing ras yang paling umum dijumpai di Indonesia. Kucing Persia memiliki bulu yang panjang dengan variasi warna bulu yang sangat beragam. Perkawinan yang lebih terarah sangat perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas genetik warna dan pola warna bulu kucing. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari variasi warna dan pola warna bulu kucing Persia yang terdapat di Indonesia, yang dilakukan di kantor pusat Cat Fancy Indonesia mulai bulan Oktober 2000 sampai Januari 2001. Data yang digunakan merupakan data pedigree kucing Persia yang tercatat di Cat Fancy Indonesia dari tahun 1997 sampai Oktober 2001 yang terdiri dari 187 jantan dan 258 betina, selain itu juga dilakukan pengamatan langsung kepada tiga penyayang dan breeder kucing yang ada di Bandung. Secara umum tercatat 104 penyayang dan breeder kucing ras di Indonesia, 74,04% terdapat di Jawa Barat dan sisanya (25%) terdapat di daerah Jakarta. Jumlah kucing Persia yang lahir di Indonesia adalah 387 kucing (87,16%), yang terdiri dari 163 (42,12%) jantan dan 224 (57,88%) betina. Jumlah kucing Persia yang diimpor ke Indonesia adalah sebanyak 57 (12,845%) yang terdiri dari 23 (40,35%) jantan dan 34 (59,65%) betina. Jumlah kucing Persia yang terdapat di Jawa Barat (84,14%) lebih banyak dibanding jumlah kucing Persia yang ada di Jakarta (14,86%). Secara umum warna bulu cream (9,01%) dan pola warna solid (34,01%) memiliki persentase tertinggi. Warna cream merupakan warna dilusi dari warna merah (red) yang dapat dihasilkan dari berbagai macam kombinasi warna bulu yang dimiliki tetua sebelumnya, sebagai contoh dari perkawinan tetua yang memiliki warna bulu cream dengan red smoke. Perkawinan antara tetua yang memiliki warna dan pola warna bulu yang tidak murni dapat menghasilkan turunan yang memiliki warna dan pola warna bulu yang bervariasi.
