Judul: Mitochondrial DNA Gene Organization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Naja siamensis
Abstrak: Naja siamensis is one of Asiatic cobra in the Family of Elapidae, known as a cryptic snake. It has many morphological variations that lead to misidentification. Misidentification can cause the wrong concept in developing antivenom types due to high snakebite cases occur in Thailand. Thus, an accurate species identification using a molecular approach is crucially required. Mitochondrial DNA has been used widely in snake molecular studies. These studies were aimed to determine the arrangement of the N. siamensis partial mitochondrial genes using reptile-oriented primers and to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among other species of Asian cobra. DNA extraction was carried out based on the standard DNA salting-out protocol and was conducted by bioinformatics analysis using BLASTn and MEGA 6 software. Gene annotation was performed against N. kaouthia complete genome. A total of 3121 bp of N. siamensis mtDNA genes were sequenced consisting of partial of six regions: 16S rRNA, ND1, tRNA-Ile, CRII region, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Gln, and COI genes. The mtDNA gene organization of N. siamensis was predicted to has a similar pattern with the common Elapidae mtDNA gene organization. This study showed that there is a monophyletic form in Naja genus and N. kaouthia is the closest species with N. siamensis based on partial 16S rRNA and ND1 gene.

Abstrak: Spitting cobra (Naja sputatrix Boie 1827) has been harvested and traded in local and international market, yet there was still no suficient data concerning its population and habitat. The main purposes of this research was to analyze the trading system, demographic parameters, morphometry and habitat characteristics of spitting cobra in East Java Province. The actors involved in the trading systems functioning as harvesters, collector, sub agen, agents, and also domestic users which likely had no allegiance between them and very much influenced by the market. Morphometrics measurement of the speciments, showed that male snakes had a longer bodysize compare to females, SVL were 999,2 cm and 998,9 cm respectively,which 81,90% of total harvested speciments were adult spitting cobras. The females dominated the harvested population of all trade actors, up to 90,54%, this might be an effect of harvesting pattern where the harvesters conducted catching outside the nests. Such pattern would be a threat for the population of the snake. Spitting cobras had no habitat preference and could easily adapted with different kinds of environment.

Abstrak: Penanganan pasca panen mempunyal peranan penting untuk mencegah terjadinya kerusakan produk pertanianlperkebunan. Salah satu usaha yang dilakukan adalah pengeringan. Petani di tingkat pedesaan lebih banyak memilih pengeringan dengan penJemuran, mengingat cara ini lebih mudah dilakukan dan biaya lebih murah. Pemanfaatan efek rumah kaca sekarang ini sudah mulai dikembangkan. Sebagai pengganti kaca, altematif bahan yang dapat digunakan sebagai penutup bangunan adalah plastik. Penggunaan plastik ini diharapkan dapat menekan biaya pembuatan dan mudah didapati dipasaran.
