Judul: Pengisian Gabah Beberapa Varietas Padi pada Periode Cekaman Kekeringan Berbeda dalam Sistem Sawah
Abstrak: Rice, the main crop in Indonesia, is facing many problems in its development which is an issue of drought. Effect of drought on rice causes puso and decreases productivity. The objective of this research is to study the response of several varieties of rice grain filling at four different periods of drought. This research was conducted at the University Farm IPB, Babakan, Sawah Baru, Dramaga, Bogor, on land under Polyethylene roof from October 2011 until June 2012. The treatment design Randomized Completely Block Design with Split plot design of two factors. The first factor is period of drought treatments as main plots consist of four standards: dried at 3 weeks after tranplanting (MST) (K3); dried at 6 MST (K6); dried at 9 MST (K9) and control (K0) (without drying). Varieties as a subplot consist of eight standards are: IR-64, Ciherang, IPB 3S, Way Apo Buru, Jatiluhur, Menthik Wangi, Silugonggo and Rokan. Periods of drought affected grain weight and grain number of plant. Varieties affected number of husk of plant. 1000 grain weight was affected by periods of drought stress, varieties and interaction of both.

Judul: Seleksi padi hibrida terhadap kekeringan untuk pengembangan di lahan sawah tadah hujan
Abstrak: The objective of the research was to determine method and character for early selection of rice to drought and to obtain drought tolerant hybrid rice genotypes to be used further in rainfed lowland. Experiments were conducted from April 2011 until July 2012 at Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, IPB and BB Biogen greenhouse Cimanggu, Bogor, at Babakan Experiment Station, IPB, Bogor, and at irrigated lowland, Cikembar, Sukabumi, and rainfed lowland, Gantar, Indramayu. The study consisted of seven experiments. The results showed that: (1) Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 could detect and differentiate the response of hybrid rice genotypes to drought stress in both germination and seedling stage. The use of 25% PEG 6000 in the seedling stage could detect early hybrid rice genotypes tolerant to drought and have a compatibility with grouping of genotypes tolerant to drought based on yield criteria in the field. Variables of root dry weight, shoot dry weight and leaf dryness score were to detect hybrid rice genotypes tolerant to drought at seedling stage. (2) Genotypes BI485A/BP12, BI485A/BP15 and BI559A/BP15 under drought stress conditions decreased root length less (17.6 - 26.9 percent) than the IR64, the sensitive check variety (33.6 percent). Their grain weight, harvest index and grain yield (2.82, 2.58 and 2.72 ton ha-1) were higher than other genotypes. Moreover they were earlier to harvest, shorter in grain filling period and had sensitivity index to drought ≤ 0.50. Hybrid genotype tolerant to drought i.e BI599/BP15 under drought stress conditions had less stomatal density, maintained higher leaf relative water content, and contained non-structural carbohydrates in stem, sheath and leaf less than other genotypes. Genotypes BI485A/BP12, BI485A/BP15 and BI559A/BP15 were tolerant to drought and potentially could be developed for rainfed lowland; (3) The yield of these genotypes under irrigated lowland were not significantly different from those of Ciherang and Hipa 7 (i.e. 5.63, 6.87 and 6.30 ton grain ha-1, respectively). BI599A/BP15 genotypes under severe drought at rainfed lowland yielded 0.90 ton grain ha-1, whereas Hipa 7 and Limboto reached 0.34 and 0.29 ton grain ha-1, respectively.

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
