Judul: Controlled Deterioration Test untuk Menguji Ketahanan Benih Kacang Hijau (Phaseolus radiatus L.) terhadap Kondisi Cekaman Kekeringan.
Abstrak: The research was conducted from February to April 2012 at the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, Agronomy and Horticulture Department, Bogor Agricultural University. This research consist of three experiment. The first experiment was to determine the tolerance of five varieties of mungbean seeds to drought using PEG 6000 with different levels of osmotic pressure ( 0, -0.5, -1, -2, and -3 bar). The second experiment, determining the seed vigor of five mungbean seed lots using controlled deterioration test (CDT) with condition of temperature was 45°C, the seed moisture content were 20%, 22%, 24%, 26% and the deterioration time were 0 h, 24 h, 48h, 72h. The experimental design that used was randomized complete block design with two factor. The third experiment was to determine the relationship between the results of first experiment with the second experiment results. The third experiment also could show the effectiveness of the CDT method in testing the resistance of mungbean seeds against drought stress. Based on the observations of the variable results, it was obtained that the -1 bar PEG 6000 had capability of selecting seeds that were resistant and not resistant to drought. The result of the second experiment was CDT conditions that can be used to test for seed vigor were 20%/48 hours and 22%/24 hours. Correlation analysis between the variables in the -1 bar PEG 6000 with CDT on two conditions CDT (20%/48 hours and 22%/24 hours) showed significant correlation to the normal germination percent(r= 0.61 and 0.58) and speed germination(r= 0.62 and 0.59 ).

Judul: Determining Seed Storability of Mung Bean Seeds (Vigna radiata) Based on Seed Viability Before Storage
Abstrak: Kacang hijau (Vigna radiata) merupakan salah satu komoditas penting di Indonesia. Mutu benih kacang hijau yang sampai ke tangan petani, sangat menentukan keberhasilan produksi. Benih yang disimpan pada ruang terbuka akan mengalami penurunan viabilitas benih dengan cepat sehingga daya simpan benih perlu diketahui untuk memastikan ketersediaan benih yang bermutu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menetapkan daya simpan benih kacang hijau dengan menggunakan suatu peubah viabilitas atau vigor. Penelitian dilaksanakan mulai dari Januari 2023 hingga Agustus 2023 di Laboratorium Penyimpanan dan Pengujian Mutu Benih, Laboratorium Biologi dan Biofisika Benih, serta Laboratorium Uji Mutu Fisiologis, Departemen Agronomi dan Hortikultura, Fakultas Pertanian, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Penelitian dilaksanakan selama 6 bulan periode simpan dengan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) faktor tunggal yang terdiri dari 10 lot berupa varietas yaitu Vima 1 (a), Vima 2, Vima 3 (a), Vima 4, Vima 5, Vimil 1, Vimil 2, Kutilang, Vima 1 (b) dan Vima 3 (b). Pengamatan sebelum simpan meliputi pengamatan uji daya hantar listrik (DHL), uji pemunculan radikula (RE), uji pengusangan cepat (AAT), indeks vigor (IV), dan kecepatan tumbuh (KCT). Pengamatan saat benih disimpan meliputi pengamatan pada kadar air (KA) dan daya berkecambah (DB) yang diuji setiap bulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya penurunan viabilitas benih kacang hijau yang disimpan pada ruang simpan terbuka (suhu 27,329,5 oC dan RH 6173%) dan disimpan dalam kemasan plastik polypropylene 0,8 mm dengan kadar air awal 7,1510,01%. Penetapan daya simpan benih dapat dilakukan dengan menguji daya berkecambah benih kacang hijau sebelum benih disimpan (x) dengan persamaan y = 0,1950x - 13,05, untuk y = daya simpan (bulan). Metode ini dapat digunakan pada penyimpanan jangka pendek untuk tujuan komersial., Mung beans (Vigna radiata) are one of the important commodities in Indonesia. The quality of the mung bean seeds that reach the hands of farmers is crucial to the success of the harvest. Seeds stored in open spaces will experience rapid decrease in seed viability, so the storage capacity of seeds needs to be known to ensure the availability of quality seeds. This research aims to determine the storability of mung bean seeds using a viability or vigor variable. The research was carried out from January 2023 to August 2023 at the Seed Storage and Quality Testing Laboratory, Biology and Biophysics Seed Laboratory, and Physiological Quality Testing Laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, IPB University. The research was carried out for 6 month storage period using a single factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 10 lots of the variety, namely Vima 1 (a), Vima 2, Vima 3 (a), Vima 4, Vima 5, Vimil 1, Vimil 2, Kutilang, Vima 1 (b), dan Vima 3 (b). Observations before storage included observations the electrical conductivity test, radicle emergence test (RE), accelerated aging test (AAT), vigor index, and growth rate. Observations when seeds were stored included observations on moisture content and germination capacity which were tested every month. The results showed a decrease in the viability of mung bean seeds stored in open storage (temperature 27.329.5 oC and RH 6173%) and stored in 0.8 mm polypropylene plastic packaging with an initial moisture content of 7.1510.01%. Determining seed storability can

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
