Abstrak: This study aims to obtain information on the performance of agronomic characters and yield components of sorghum F8 lines, to conduct yield trials of 17 F8 lines derived from a cross between Numbu x UPCA S1 in acid soils and to identify lines that have better yield than the parental lines. This study was conducted from March to August 2013 at the Experimental Field of BPTP Lampung, District Natar, South Lampung. The plant material used is 17 strain of sorghum varieties from crosses F8 Numbu as female parents and UPCA S1 as the male parent. The results of analysis of variance showed that the strain are not significantly different in harvesting time and weight of panicles but were significantly different to the character of stem diameter, number of leaves, flowering, seed / panicle weight and weight of 1000 seeds, as well as highly significant and a positive for plant height and panicle length. Positive correlation and highly significant was shown by panicle length with seed / panicle weight and weight of 1000 seeds. The N/UP-4-8, N/UP-48-2, N/UP-118-7, N/UP139-1, N/UP-139-5, N/UP-159-9 dan N/UP-166-6 strain are strain that have seedpanicle-1 weight larger than average strain evaluation

Judul: Keragaan Galur-galur Harapan Sorgum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) di Tanah Masam, Jasinga
Abstrak: This research was aimed to obtain information on performance of sorghum IPB breeding lines under acid soil conditions. The research was conducted at Cikopomayak, Jasinga, Bogor from March to August 2013. The experimental design used was Randomized Complete Block Design with genotype as the treatment. The plant materials used were 17 strain of sorghum IPB breeding lines, Numbu and UPCA S1 as check varieties. The results showed that there were significantly different among genotypes evaluated for leaf number, flowering time, panicle length and thousand of grain weight. Leaf number, plant height, diameter of stem positively correlated with biomass weight. Plant height, diameter of stem, biomass weight and thousand of grain weight positively correlated with grain weight panicle-1. The IPB breeding lines showed comparable grain weight panicle-1 to the check varieties. Yield potential of N/UP-4-3, N/UP-82-3, N/UP-118-7, N/UP-124-7, N/UP-139-1 dan N/UP-139-5 strain were better than UPCA S1 in range 3–4 ton ha-1.

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.
