Judul: Rootstock Selection and Grafting Compatibility of Physic Nut (Jatropha curcas L.) to Increase Drought Stress Tolerance and Productivity.
Abstrak: Tujuan umum penelitian ini adalah menyeleksi calon batang bawah yang toleran cekaman kekeringan, dan teknik penyambungan yang memiliki kompatibilitas tinggi untuk mendapatkan bahan tanaman kombinasi sambungan yang memiliki produktivitas tinggi dan toleran cekaman kekeringan. Penelitian ini terdiri atas lima percobaan., The general objective of this experiment was to obtain rootstock tolerant to drought which support high productivity of scion, and high compatibility grafting techniques. The study consisted of five experiments. The objective of the first experiment was to determine rapid, accurate, and simple selection method of Jatropha rootstock candidates to drought stress.

Abstrak: Grafting in physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) is an effective methode to improve plant yield by combining distinc rootstock and scion in other to grow better and high yield under marginal land. The aim of the study was to find the best combination of graft compatibility between Jatropha curcas accessions to improve yield under marginal land especially on acid soils. The experiment was conducted in polybag using compeletely randomize design with three factors. The first factor was four J.curcas accessions (B3, J2, JB, and S1) as rootstock. The second factor was two J.curcas accessions (IP3A and IP3P) as scion. The third factor was the type of soils i.e. Sawah Baru Andosol soil (M1) and Jasinga podzolic red yellow (M2). The parameters were observed consist of scion elongation, stem diameter, number of leaf, number of branch, root and shoot dry weight, flowering and yield. The result showed that growth parameters except number of branch were not influenced by the type of soil. Succesfully of grafting were 95.1 percent. It was determined by compatibility of rootstock and scion. In general, scion elongation, stem diameter, root dry weight and shoot dry weight significantly determined by rootstocks. Rootstocks of JB, B3, and S1 showed higher growth rates than rootstocks J2. Anatomical observation indicated that graft union formation in IP3A slower than IP3P. While, flowering and yield were determined by accession of scion. Percentage of flowering in IP3P and IP3A in all combinations with rootstocks were 100% and 25% respectively. It can be concluded that JB/3P, B3/3P, S1/3P, J2/3P, B3/3A, and S1/3A were the best and potencial combinations to improve yield on acid soils.

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.
