Judul: Pengaruh Frekuensi Aplikasi CaCl2 Prapanen Terhadap Kualitas Dan Daya Simpan Buah Tomat
Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh frekuensi aplikasi penyemprotan CaCl2 terhadap kualitas dan daya simpan buah tomat. Hipotesis yang diajukan ialah peningkatan frekuensi aplikasi CaCl2 prapanen dapat meningkatkan kandungan kalsium buah tomat sehingga proses senesen dapat diperlambat.

Judul: Pengaruh Pemberian Cacl2 Pra-Panen Terhadap Perubahan Kualitas Tomat Segar
Abstrak: Tomat merupakan komoditas hortikultura yang rentan terhadap kerusakan. Aktivitas metabolisme yang masih berlanjut mengakibatkan kehilangan dan penurunan kualitas buah. Pemberian nutrisi prapanen yaitu CaCl2 diharapkan dapat memperbaiki kualitas buah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi dan waktu penyemprotan CaCh prapanen terhadap kualitas buah tomat.

Judul: Identifikasi Molekuler Kompleks Spesies Himantura uarnak (Batoidea: Dasyatidae) di Indonesia.
Abstrak: Stingrays are one of the cartilaginous fish, apart of sharks and skates, and one of Indonesia's fishery resources. Almost of elasmobranch fishes are economically important fish. The refined products and live specimens of this fish are a lot of traded. Himantura uarnak, H. undulata and H. leoparda are stingray species in Himantura and Dasyatidae family, which are the most popular stingrays in Indonesia waters. The stingrays are major target species were used as a consumable product and trading products. Levels of species diversity of cartilaginous fish in Indonesia are very high, and also Indonesia is listed as one of the countries that use elasmobranch resources the highest in the world. Generally, this study aims to identify each species of H. uarnak species complex through molecular approaches. While specifically, this study aims to estimate the evolutionary process of species divergence and to determine the relationship between species. The methods were used in this study included field sampling, sample collection, and specimen identification, collection of genetic samples, analysis of genetic samples and data analysis . Size polymorphism nuclear DNA markers (intron EPIC) were used. Polymorphism alleles translated into genotypes and alleles frequency of five introns loci. The results of Bayesian analysis and Correspondence Analysis (CA) produced informative diagram of the population structure showed 4 different clusters. Cluster 1 and 4 were H. leoparda, Cluster 2 indicated as H. undulata and the Cluster 3 was H. uarnak. Cluster 1 was a variant of Cluster 4, in this time called as H. leoparda var.1. Separation of four clusters according to nuclear DNA need to be proved by mitochondria DNA maker by cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and cytochrome b (cyt b). Molecular approaches were using mitochondrial DNA gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and cytochrome b produced 4 main groups (Group I, II, III and IV). Both of these molecular approaches showed each individual of groups were in consistent clade and the main group. Hence the H. uarnak species complex in Indonesian waters were divided into 4 main groups, and each was a particular species. The Group I and IV were the two group species that have been released as H. leoparda and Group I was H. leoparda var. 1 identified as cryptic species. Group II was one individual who grouped as H. undulata. Group III was one of other group that identified as H. uarnak and in accordance with the morphological characteristic through spotting pettern. Morphological approach to identified the stingrays of Himantura uarnak species complex clearly less accurate than the molecular approaches. Morphological approach should not be used to identify a species complex in stingrays without helped by other approaches.
