Judul: Insertion of phytase gene into genome of sugarcane cultivars, regeneration, expression and acclimatization
Abstrak: Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is one of the important crops grown in marginal land in Indonesia. Phosphorus (P) is critical to the growth and development of plant in the marginal land. P is stored in plant as phytic acid (myo-inositolhexakisphosphate). Phytic acid is hydrolyze by the activity of phytases, so it needs phytase gene insertion from other source. Genetic transformation of sugarcane holds promise to provide enough P during period of rapid cell division and growth of plant.

Judul: Optimasi Transformasi Eksplan Tebu menggunakan Gen P5CS melalui Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Abstrak: Genetic transformation is one of the attempt in generating sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) that are tolerant to drought stress. P5CS gene has a role in prolin biosynthesis, the amino acid that accumulating in water stress condition. Transformation of a P5CS gene construct into plant cells in conjunction with regeneration for transgenic plantlets should develop sugarcane tolerant to drought stress. The aim of this research is to generate drought-tolerant sugarcane through optimization transformation which includes the strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a good source of sugarcane eksplant and varieties. This study was done through verification of IBRIEC (Indonesian Biotechnology Research Institute for Estate Crops) P5CS gene collection A. Tumefaciens transformation (Wang 2006), sugarcane explants transformation (Sain 1994) and sugarcane transformant regeneration. Verification of P5CS gene collection was PCR analysed by specific primers P5CS full lenght. PCR and gel electrophoresis showed a single band agarose and the same size of 2.4 kb with positive control. It is convinced that the P5CS gene has been isolated and transformed into A. tumefaciens. IBRIEC collection P5CS genes in plasmid pBI121 were arranged in a recombinant construct of PBI-P5CS transformed into A. tumefaciens strain GV3101, LBA4404 and AGL1. Recombinant constructs PBI- P5CS from Vigna aconitifolia (V. aconitifolia) successfully transformed into cell A. tumefaciens were grown with appropriate antibiotics. Strain GV3101 and LBA4404 used 50 ppm kanamycin and rifampicin respectively, while antibiotics were added in AGL1 strain is 50 ppm kanamycin, rifampicin and ampicillin respectively. The existence of P5CS gene in A. tumefaciens was tested by observing the growth of transformed colonies in media selection and colony PCR analysis using specific primers P5CS full lenght. The results showed that A. tumefaciens transformants were grown in selection media. PCR and gel electrophoresis analysis showed a single band agarose and same size of 2.4 kb with positive control. This showed the success of the transformation A. tumefaciens and used to explants sugar cane transformation. Sugarcane explants used in this research was included calli grown in solid medium, embryogenic calli and somatic embryos with MS medium derived from Temporary Immersion System (TIS) culture with three varieties Kidang Kencana, PS 881 and PS 891. Co-cultivation medium used solid MS medium with acetosyringon in room temperature for two days. Transgenes selection was done in solid MS with antibiotics 50 ppm kanamycin and 500 ppm cefotaxime. Explants were not transformed cultured in MS media as positive control negative control while planted in the media selection. Observation of sugarcane transforman in selection media was calculated the percentage growth in 16th weeks and 32th weeks. The existence of P5CS gene in transgenic shoots was tested with GUS histochemical assay, PCR using conserved regions of specific primers P5CS and NPTII. GUS histochemical test for the presence of P5CS gene constructs showed positive results in the presence of blue staining. DNA amplification showed that expected bent size at 1.2 kb and 700 bp for primers NPTII. The results of this examination proved that both transgenes were inserted in the sugarcane genomes. The test results are stable sugarcane transformants through histochemical GUS test and PCR analysis showed stable transformants sugarcane. Growth

Judul: Analisis faktor dan model persamaan struktural unyuk pengujian model bipolaritas dan dualitas
Abstrak: Perilaku sosial merupakan fenomena yang menarik untuk diamati. Fred Kerlinger, seorang peneliti yang tertarik dengan masalah-masalah sosial, mengamati · perilaku Sistem Liberalis dan Sistem Konservatifpada 530 guru di Texas dan North Carolina [Kerlinger, 1986]. Kerlinger menemukan suatu fenomena dimana masyarakat cenderung menganggap bahwa kedua sistem tersebut adalah dua ha! yang bertolak belakang. Pendapat inilah yang kemudian dikenal sebagai Model Bipolar. Selain itu ada pendapat lain yang mengatakan bahwa kedua sistem merupakan dua ha! yang berdiri sendiri-sendiri dan saling terpisah. Pendapat ini kemudian dikenal sebagai Model Dualitas. Permasalahannya adalah menentukan mana diantara kedua model tersebut yang lebih tepat dalam menjelaskan fenomena yang ada. Hal inilah yang membuat Kerlinger melakukan perbandingan terhadap kedua model dengan cara melakukan pengujian terhadap kedua sistem dengan menggunakan data berupa korelasi variabel­variabel observasi yang mewakili kedua sistem tersebut. Proses pengujian dilakukan dengan menggunakan dua metode analisis, yaitu : Analisis Faktor dan Model Persamaan Struktural. Hasil dengan Analisis Faktor menunjukan bahwa Model Dualitas lebih tepat dalam menjelaskan fenomena yang ada. Hal ini juga didukung oleh Model Persamaan Struktural.
