Judul: Ekspresi Gen Trypsin Inhibitor Sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) yang Sehat dan Terserang Hama Boktor
Abstrak: Sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) merupakan salah satu jenis cepat tumbuh yang kayunya banyak dimanfaatkan sehingga sering dibudidayakan terutama di Pulau Jawa. Adanya serangan hama penggerek batang boktor (Xystrocera festiva Thombs) terhadap sengon menyebabkan kerugian yang besar karena dapat menurunkan kualitas kayu dan menurunkan nilai jual kayu sengon. Secara alami tanaman sengon memiliki gen ketahanan terhadap serangan hama boktor, salah satunya adalah trypsin inhibitor. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membandingkan tingkat ekspresi gen trypsin inhibitor pada kambium pohon sengon resisten dan terserang hama boktor secara kuantitatif dengan teknik Quantitative Real Time PCR. Gen target yang digunakan yaitu trypsin inhibitor (TI) dan gen Actin sebagai internal kontrol dirancang dari analisa data transkriptom sengon. Data Threshold cycle (CT) yang diperoleh kemudian dikuantifikasi menggunakan metode comparative CT method (2 -ΔΔCT). Hasil kuantifikasi menunjukkan tingkat ekspresi gen trypsin inhibitor pada ketiga sampel sengon resisten yaitu sebesar 1.90, 2.20, dan 2,85 sedangkan sengon terserang boktor sebesar 4.07, 2.05, dan 4.08. Rata-rata ekspresi gen trypsin inhibitor pada sengon terserang hama boktor lebih tinggi dibandingkan sengon yang resisten. Kata kunci: Falcataria moluccana, Trypsin Inhibitor, Quantitative Real Time PCR, Sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) is highly demanded fast growing tree species which leads to the increasing sengon cultivation especially in Java. Boktor pest (Xystrocera festiva Thombs) decrease the quality of sengon wood, causing a high loss due to lower selling price of the log. Naturally sengon has resistance gene to defend itself from boktor pest attacks, and one of these genes is trypsin inhibitor. This study aimed to comparing the level of trypsin inhibitor gene expression in sengon’s cambium that is resistant and attacked by boktor pests. The analysis of gene expression level was carried out using the Real Time PCR technique. Primers of trypsin inhibitor (TI) gene as the target gene and Actin gene as the internal control were designed from sengon’s transcriptomic data analysis. Threshold cycle (CT) that obtained then quantified using comparative CT method (2 -ΔΔCT). Quantification results showed that the expression level of trypsin inhibitor from three resistant samples are 1.90, 2.20, and 2,85 while in sengon attacked by boktor are 4.07, 2.05, and 4,08. The average trypsin inhibitor gene expression in sengon attacked by boktor pest was higher than resistant ones. Keywords: Falcataria moluccana, Trypsin Inhibitor, Quantitative Real Time PCR

Judul: Ekspresi Gen HSP 70 pada Sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) Resisten dan Terserang Hama Boktor
Abstrak: Pohon sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) merupakan salah satu pohon serba guna yang ada di Indonesia. Keberhasilan pembangunan hutan tanaman sengon dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor pembatas pertumbuhan, salah satunya adalah ketahanan terhadap serangan hama dan penyakit tanaman. Jenis hama yang paling umum diketahui adalah serangan hama penggerek batang (Xystrocera festiva Thombs.) atau sering dikenal sebagai boktor atau uter-uter. Secara alami tanaman sengon memiliki gen ketahanan terhadap serangan hama boktor, salah satunya yaitu gen Heat shock cognate 70 kDA protein (HSP 70). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji tingkat ekspresi gen HSP 70 secara kuantitatif terhadap kambium pohon sengon resisten dan sengon terserang hama boktor melalui teknik Real Time PCR. Nilai referensi yang dipilih berupa level ekspresi housekeeping gene menggunakan gen Actin 1 dan gen target menggunakan gen HSP 70, melalui perhitungan ΔCt = Cttarget gene – Cthousekeeping gene. Hasil menunjukkan gen HSP 70 lebih besar terekspresi pada sampel resisten dibandingkan dengan sampel terserang boktor., Sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) is one of the most multipurpose trees in Indonesia. The success of sengon plantation forest development can be influenced by several growth limiting factors, one of these is resistance against pest and disease. The most common type of pest known is stalk borer (Xystrocera festiva Thombs.) or often known as boktor or uter-uter. Naturally, sengon plants have genes for resistance to boktor, one of them is the Heat shock cognate 70kDA Protein (HSP 70) gene. The study aims to test the expression of a gene HSP 70 in a quantitative manner against the cambium trees resistance and sengon attacked by boktor through Real Time PCR technique. The reference level selected housekeeping gene expression in the form of using genes Actin 1 and gene HSP 70 is used, trought calculation ΔCt = Cttarget gene – Cthousekeeping gene. Results showing that genes of HSP 70 greater expression in samples of resistance than infested by boktor.

Judul: Metrik Einstein (Anti-) Self-Dual Berdimensi Empat dengan Metode Cartan
Abstrak: Gravitational field equation can be formulated in differential forms (differential geometry), which describes gravity as a manifestation of the curvature of space-time. Curvature of space-time is characterized by a metric that satisfies the gravitational field equation. With differential forms it can be formulated the (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation, which is a modification of the Cartan structure in (anti-) self-dual basis. Calculation of (anti-) self-dual metric with (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation is simpler than the calculation using Christoffel symbols.
