Judul: Variability of Panicle Morphological Characters and Yield of  Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in the F4 Generation.
Abstrak: Sorgum merupakan tanaman pangan penting kelima di dunia. Morfologis malai diduga mempengaruhi hasil sehingga dilakukan upaya untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dengan persilangan. Penelitian bertujuan menginfomasikan keragaman karakter malai dan hasil sorgum populasi F4 serta mengidentifikasi genotipe yang berpotensi hasil lebih baik dari tetua, dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari-Juli 2021 di Kebun Percobaan leuwikopo dan Laboratorium Pemuliaan Tanaman IPB. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah rancangan augmented- RKLT faktor tunggal berupa genotipe terdiri 40 genotipe uji hasil persilangan Kawali-Pahat dan 5 genotipe pembanding diulang 4 kali. Hasil analisis ragam menunjukkan genotipe berpengaruh nyata terhadap beberapa karakter. Genotipe 4, 32, 56, 57, 66, 67, 120, 126, 129, 133 dan 140 berpotensi untuk dikembangkan karena memiliki keragaan karakter agronomi, komponen hasil dan morfologi malai yang unggul. Karakter tinggi tanaman, lebar daun, bobot biomassa basah dan bobot 1000 butir dapat dijadikan sebagai karakter seleksi karena memiliki nilai heritabilitas yang tinggi dan koefisien keragaman genetik yang sedang sampai luas., Sorghum is the fifth most important food crop in the world. Morphology of panicle can be correlated to grain yield. Efforts have been made to increase productivity hybridization. The study aimed to obtain information on the genetic variabilty of panicle character and yield of sorghum in the F4 population and also identify genotypes that have better yield potential than parents. The experiment was conducted at Leuwikopo Experimental Farm and plant breeding laboratory IPB from February to July 2021. The experimental design used is Augmented Design-RCBD one factor, this genotype consists 40 genotypes of sorghum F4 from crosses Kawali-Pahat and 5 comparison varieties in 4 replications. The results of variance analysis showed that genotype had a significant effect on several characters. Genotype number 4, 32, 56, 57, 66, 67, 120, 126, 129, 133 and 140 have the potential to be developed into varieties because of superior performance of agronomic characters, yield components, and the morphology of panicle characters. Characters of plant height, width leaf, stover weight and weight of 1000 seed can be used as selection characters because of high heritability value and moderate to broad genetic variability coefficient.

Judul: Variability of Agronomic Characters and Potential Yield of F8 Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) Population from Cross of Numbu × Samurai 2
Abstrak: Pengembangan varietas unggul sorgum diperlukan untuk mendapatkan varietas sorgum yang memiliki produktivitas tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keragaman karakter agronomi dan menguji daya hasil 29 galur F8 sorgum hasil persilangan varietas Numbu × Samurai 2 serta mengidentifikasi galur yang memiliki potensi hasil lebih baik dari varietas pembanding. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kebun Percobaan Muara, Bogor pada bulan Agustus sampai November 2023. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah rancangan kelompok lengkap teracak augmented dengan genotipe sebagai perlakuan. Genotipe yang digunakan terdiri dari 29 galur sorgum (F8) hasil persilangan Numbu × Samurai 2, serta 3 varietas pembanding (Bioguma 1, Kawali, Soper 6 Agritan). Galur F8 ditanam tanpa ulangan, sedangkan 3 varietas pembanding diulang sebanyak 3 kali. Hasil analisis ragam menunjukkan genotipe berpengaruh nyata terhadap beberapa karakter. Heritabilitas pada genotipe uji memiliki nilai yang rendah hingga tinggi berkisar 0,05-0,88. Hasil analisis korelasi menunjukkan bahwa bobot biji per malai berhubungan erat dan positif terhadap karakter tinggi tanaman, panjang daun, lebar daun, diameter batang, bobot malai basah, bobot malai kering, bobot 1000 butir, bobot brangkasan, bobot batang, dan nira. Diperoleh 10 galur terbaik yang berhasil terseleksi yang memiliki komponen hasil tinggi sehingga potensial dikembangkan sebagai varietas sorgum pangan., The development of superior sorghum varieties is needed to obtain high productivity sorghum varieties. This study aims to analyze the diversity of agronomic characters and test the yield of 29 F8 sorghum lines resulting from crossing the Numbu × Samurai 2 varieties and identify lines that have better yield potential than comparison varieties. The research was conducted at the Muara Experimental Garden, Bogor from August to November 2023. The experimental design was arranged in an augmented randomized complete group design with genotype as the treatment. 29 genotypes from Numbu × Samurai 2 of F8 population and varieties Bioguma 1, Kawali, Soper 6 Agritan as check was used in this research. The F8 line was planted without repetition, while the 3 comparison varieties were repeated 3 times. The results of analysis of variance showed that genotype had a significant effect on several characters. Heritability for the test genotypes had low to high values ranging from 0.05-0.88. The results of the correlation analysis showed that seed weight per panicle was closely and positively related to the characteristics of plant height, leaf length, leaf width, stem diameter, wet panicle weight, dry panicle weight, 1000 grain weight, stover weight, stem weight, and sap. The 10 best selected lines have high yield components so that they have the potential to be developed as food sorghum varieties.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
