Judul: Peningkatan Produksi Benih Jagung Hibrida melalui Optimalisasi Populasi dan Rasio Tetua Jantan Betina
Abstrak: Attempts to increase seed yield of hybrid corn has been done, but the results have not been satisfactorily achieved. Researches should be done in various aspects such as row ratio of parents, planting density, optimum days to harvest and influence of climatic factors (sunlight and rainfall), season and agroecology. The aim of study are to obtain optimum plant population and rasio of male to female parents for increasing seed yield of hybrid corn and to study seed quality of Bima 3 and STJ-01 varieties. The seeds used in the research were parents of Bima 3 (Nei90008 line as female, Mr14 line as male) and STJ-01 (Bima 5 variety as female, Nei9008 line as male). The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications (replications was nested in factor of parent ratio). The first factor was male to female parent ratio (1:4, 1:5 and 2:6) and the second factor was plant population (66 667 plants/ha, 83 333 plants/ha and 90 000 plants/ha). Combined analysis of variance was performed to understand the effects of both factors and their interactions. The results showed that plant population did not significantly affect plant height of Bima 3 and STJ-01 parents, ear height of Bima 3 and STJ-01 female parents, leaf area index of STJ-01 female parent, number of ear of Bima 3 female parent, ear weight of Bima 3, and seed yield of Bima3 and STJ-01. The effect of parents ratio was significant for seed yield of Bima 3 and STJ-01. The highest seed yield of Bima 3 variety was achieved at parent ratio 1: 5 (1.43 tons/ha) and the highest seed yield of STJ-01 was achieved at parent ratio 1:4 (3 tons/ha). Seed quality of Bima 3 variety was better than that of STJ-01. The seedling growth of Bima 3 was more simultaneous more tolerant to drought based on germination percentage and speed of germination and more tolerant to salinity based on the number of green leaves.

Judul: Performance Evaluation and Power Yield on  11 Hybrids Sweet Corn Genotypes (Zea mays saccharata. Sturt) Breeding Results of IPB University
Abstrak: Informasi keragaan dan daya hasil diperlukan dalam merakit varietas unggul baru. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi keragaan dan daya hasil jagung manis hibrida harapan IPB. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2022 sampai Februari 2023 di Kebun Percobaan Leuwikopo, Dramaga, Bogor, Jawa Barat. Penelitian terdiri dari satu faktor yaitu genotipe sebanyak 13 genotipe jagung manis hibrida. Penanaman dilakukan menggunakan rancangan kelompok lengkap teracak dengan 3 ulangan dari 20 tanaman per satuan percobaan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan keragaan dan daya hasil antar genotipe jagung manis hibrida IPB dan varietas jagung manis pembanding. Genotipe berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap semua karakter yang diamati, kecuali diameter batang dan anthesis silking interval. Genotipe SB.13B X SM.9.3A.1 dan SB.5.1B.3B X T.13.1.8 memiliki beberapa keunggulan pada karakter seperti produktivitas, bobot tongkol tanpa kelobot, dan anthesis silking interval yang setara atau lebih baik dari varietas pembanding. Kedua genotipe hibrida harapan IPB ini memiliki produktivitas berkisar 19,04-20,42 ton per hektar sedangkan varietas pembanding berkisar antara 21,06-23,71 ton per hektar. Bobot tongkol tanpa kelobot kedua genotipe IPB berkisar 257,33-261,85 gram sedangkan varietas pembanding berkisar antara 249,13-253,53 gram., Information about performance and power yield of sweet corn is needed in assembling new superior varieties. This research aims to evaluate the performance and power yield of the expected hybrid sweet corn from IPB. The research was conducted from December 2022 to February 2023 at the Leuwikopo Experimental Garden, Dramaga, Bogor, West Java. The research consisted of one factor, which was the genotypes of 13 hybrid sweet corn genotypes. Planting was done using a randomized complete group design with three repetitions where each experimental unit consists of 20 plants. The results showed that there were differences in performance and power yield among the genotype sweet corn hybrids of IPB and comparison sweet corn varieties. Genotype had a very significant effect on all the characters that observed, except stem diameter and anthesis silking interval. The SB.13B X SM.9.3A.1 genotypes and SB.5.1B.3B X T.13.1.8 genotypes had several advantages of characters such as productivity, ear weight without husk, and anthesis silking interval which were equal or better than the comparison varieties. Genotypes SB.13B X SM.9.3A.1 and SB.5.1B.3B X T.13.1.8 had productivity ranging from 19.04 to 20.42 tons per hectare while comparison varieties ranged from 21.06-23.71 tons per hectare. The ear weight without husk of genotypes SB.13B X SM.9.3A.1 and SB.5.1B.3B X T.13.1.8 ranged from 257.33 to 261.85 grams while comparison varieties ranged from 249.13-253.53 grams.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
