Judul: Amplifikasi Gen Bar dan Gen Hpt Terkait Stabilitas Padi Mutan Serta Evaluasi Karakter Agronominya
Abstrak: Transposon Ac / Ds system containing an activation tagging constructs serves to develop a mutant plant that will produce changes in phenotype. This study aims to amplify the bar and hpt genes related to the stability of the mutant rice transposon Ac/Ds and observe the changes in phenotype based on the agronomy characters. Rice plant materials used for the study were six mutant T2 rice lines IR.64 (total 214 plants) and IR64 wild type rice as a control. The DNA of mutant plants was isolated and then amplified by PCR technique using primers specific for the bar and hpt genes. The results showed that the bar and hpt genes in the rice plant IR.64 mutant T2 with size were ± 700 bp and ± 600 bp. Evaluation of agronomic characters showed there were changes in these characters of mutant rice lines IR64 generation T2 that probably caused by the transposon insertion element containing 4x enhancer.

Judul: Analisis Molekuler dan Fenotipe Galur Padi Transgenik IR64 Generasi T3 yang Mengandung Penanda Aktivasi untuk Toleransi Kekeringan
Abstrak: Activation tagging transgenic rice cv. IR64 had been developed by introducing a construct of activation tagging transposon Ac/Ds. Phenotipic character associated with drought stress tolerance of the transgenic rice lines have not been analyzed. This study aimed to evaluate T3 generation of activation tagging transgenic rice lines cv. IR64 to drought stress treatment. The methodology of study consisted of several steps including germination of samples seeds, screening the seedling with drought strees treatment, molecular analysis of the rice lines identify hpt and bar genes, and observation of agronomic character. Results of study showed that there were 34 out of 84 plants that tolerant to drought stress. A total of 23 plants of tolerant plants were detected carrying only bar gene after PCR analysis and indicated that the plants were stable mutants. Generaly, compared to the non-transgenic plants, there were changes in several agronomic parameters of transgenic rice plants cv. IR64 T3 generation. A total of nine plants increased of its height, six plants had a faster harvesting time, and 21 plants had higher weight of 100 seeds compared by non-transgenic plants.

Judul: Beberapa aspek anatomi alat sirkulasi ruang dada kancil
Abstrak: Telah dilakukan penelitian dengan menggunakan 10 ekor kancil dewasa jantan dan betina dengan tujuan untuk menge- tahui beberapa aspek anatomi alat sirkulasi di dalam ruang dada, meliputi jantung, pembuluh darah yang keluar dan ma- suk jantung serta ukuran-ukuran jantung. Kancil merupakan ruminansia terkecil di dunia, hidup di daerah tropika India, Thailand, Malaysia dan Indonesia bagian barat. Hewan ini dilindungi dan mempunyai prospek yang baik untuk hewan penelitian maupun dibudidayakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berat jantung rаta-rata adalah 0.69% dari berat rata-rata kancil. Dan ini mirip pada jantung kuda dan anjing. Bentuk jantung lonjong seperti halnya ruminansia. Demikian pula letaknya di dalam ruang dada seperti pada ruminansia dengan adanya Ligamentum sternopericardiacum. Di dalam ventrikel kanan membersit sebuah Musculus (M.) papillaris dari dindingnya dan tiga sampai empat Musculi (Mm.) papillares dari Septum interventriculare. Hanya dua buah Mm. papillares yang berukuran besar dibersitkan dari dinding ventrikel kiri. Percabangan Arteri (A.) coronaria sinistra lebih dominan dari pada A. coronaria dextra. Sedangkan A. sub clavia sinistra dicabangkan langsung dari aorta di dorso- caudal pembersitan Truncus (Tr.) brachiocephalicus…
