Judul: Pengaruh aspek hidrotermik terhadap susut kualitatif, mutu mikrobiologi dan teknologi dalam penyimpanan kedele
Abstrak: Penyimpanan adalah salah satu tahap kegiatan pas­ca panen selain penanganan (handling) dan peningkatan daya guna atau pengolahan (processing). Kegiatan pe - nyimpanan terutama ditujukan untuk pengamanan dalam arti pencegahan, penghindaran atau pengurangan kerugian dengan daya seoptimal mungkin. Penyimpanan pangan bagi sesuatu negara adalah mutlak karena keamanan dan kecukupan pangan, stabilitas harga, stabilitas POLEKSOS HANKAM (Politik, Ekonomi, Sosial dan Pertahanan Keamanan) bahkan kemantapan dalam diplomasi luar negeri bergantung pada stok pangan nasi­onal. Pada tingkat petani peranan penyimpanan penting untuk benih, pengamanan hasil, memperoleh keuntungan, cadangan untuk paceklik, pemupuk modal, dan secara ti - dak langsung merangsang kenaikan produksi. Selama penyimpanan, kualitas kedele .mengalami pe -nurunan dimana sering terjadi susut, baik susut kuanti­tas maupun susut kualitas. Makin lama penyimpanan, ma­kin besar pula susut yang terjadi. Untuk menekan susut selama penyimpanan, terutama penyimpanan jangka panjang diperluf<an metoda penyimpanan yang lebih baik.

Judul: Shelf  Life of Soybean Seed (Glycine max) with Pre-Storage Treatment at Different Storage Temperatures
Abstrak: Kualitas benih sangat penting dalam produksi kedelai. Mutu benih dapat menurun pada saat penyimpanan, pemanenan, pengangkutan, dan penyimpanan di gudang. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh perlakuan pra simpan terhadap mutu dan daya simpan benih kedelai. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari sampai Agustus 2023 di Laboratorium Penyimpanan dan Pengujian Mutu Benih Departemen Agronomi dan Hortikultura, Fakultas Pertanian, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Penelitian dilakukan dengan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) Split-plot dengan tiga ulangan. Petak utama adalah suhu simpan yaitu suhu AC (15 - 19℃) dan suhu kamar (26 - 28℃). Anak petaknya adalah perlakuan pra simpan yaitu: kontrol, cuci – jemur, jemur, oven dan fungisida. Kadar air benih pada penyimpanan suhu kamar dan AC hingga 6 bulan setelah simpan masih dibawah 11%. Suhu simpan secara umum tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap viabilitas, vigor dan kesehatan benih kedelai. Serangan cendawan Aspergillus banyak ditemui pada penyimpaanan benih kedelai. Perlakuan fungisida mampu mempertahankan daya berkecambah 80% hingga bulan setelah simpan. Perlakuan fungisida menunjukkan adanya potensi sebagai pra perlakuan penyimpanan benih kedelai. Benih tanpa perlakuan kehilangan daya berkecambah dibawah 80% pada 3 bulan setelah simpan, sedangkan pada akhir penyimpanan hanya 67%. Perlakuan jemur dapat dijadikan sebagai alternative untuk melindungi benih dari serangan cendawan dengan daya berkecambah lebih dari 80% hingga 5 bulan simpan dan pada 6 bulan simpan memiliki daya berkecambah 74. Penelitian ini menunjukan adanya potensi perlakuan fungisida sebagai perlakuan pra penyimpanan benih kedelai., The seed quality is crucial for soybean production. Seed quality can decrease during storage, harvesting, transportation and werehouse storage. This study aimed to identifiy the effect of seed treatment on the quality and storability of soybean seeds. The research was conducted from February to August 2023 at the Seed Storage and Quality Testing Laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Bogor Agricultural University. The research was arranged in a split plot design and a completely randomized design with three replications. The main plot was temperature, that is air conditioning temperature (15-19℃) and room temperature (26-28℃). The subplots was subjected to seed treatment: control, rinse-drying, drying, oven and fungicide. Seed moisture at at both temperatures was under 11% until six months after storage (MAS). Generally, storage temperature does not significantly affect seed viability, vigor, or health. Aspergillus infection was the dominant fungus in soybean seeds during storage. Fungicide treatment maintained a germination percentage of approximately 80% at 6 MSA. Otherwise, the control lost germination under 80% at 3 MSA, and at the end of storage, the germination percentage was approximately 67%. Drying treatment could be an alternative to protect the seed from fungal infection, with a germination percentage of more than 80% at 5 MSA and 74% at 6 MSA. This finding shows the potential of fungicide treatment as a pra treatment for soybean seed storage.

Judul: The isolation and molecular identification of papillomavirus in macaca fascicularis and macaca nemestrina at animal facility of primate research centre – Bogor Agricultural University.
Abstrak: Cervical cancer is still regarded as a major cause of death in women world wide, hence research on papilloma viruses, their drugs and vaccines for the prevention are still continued. Papilloma virus is a DNA virus of the family papillomaviridae. Papilloma virions have no sheath, the diameter of 55 nm, and icosahedral capsid. The virus multiplies in the cell nucleus and causes chronic latent infection. The virus genome has a circular form, 8 kbp in length with 8 open reading frames. The genome is divided into early (E) and late (L) genes. The E gen synthesizes 6 E proteins, namely E1, E2, E4, E5, E6 and E7, which are linked into the process of viral replication and oncogenes. Meanwhile, the L gene synthesizes 2 proteins, the L1 and L2, which are related to the formation of the capsid (Hakim 2010). In order to obtain the best result of the cancer research, it is highly requested to obtain appropriate animal model that reflect aspects of human disease. Non-human primates have high similarity with humans, both in terms of the evolution of the genetic, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and organ systems, as well as in cancer genes. Non-human primates of the genus Macaca is a genus with the highest distribution worldwide, from Japan to Afghanistan. So far, there are 22 species are included in the genus Macaca. Originally rhesus monkeys or M. mulatta are widely used for biomedical research, but since the Indian government imposed a ban on importing these animals, then Macaca fascicularis (Long-tailed Macaque, cynomolgus) and Macaca nemestrina (Pig-tailed Macaque), which has high population in Southeast Asia, began to be used as research animal. Various medical aspects related to both species are commonly studied by many researchers as an animal model for human diseases. This study is using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and nucleotide tracking to identify papillomavirus tipes that infect the genital tract of Macaca fascicularis and Macaca nemestrina, which is kept in breeding facilities of Primate Research Center, IPB. The analysis of nucleotide sequences were performed using the Clustal W 2.1 and 5.1 Mega program. The establishment of phylogenetic tree using neighbor joining with 1000 times bootstrap repetition. The results showed that the papillomavirus that infect Macaca fascicularis was 32.7% (78/238) and Macaca nemestrina 12% (4/31). Both species were infected by Macaca fascicularis papillomavirus (MfPV) tipe 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9, belongs to the genus Alpha papillomavirus with homology of 80 - 100%. Papilloma virus that infected the pig-tailed macaque was the same tipe of papillomavirus that infected the cynomolgus with similarity between 82% - 99% based on L1 region. To further explain the tipes of papilloma viruses that infected the pig-tailed macaque, it is necessary to identify the entire genome of the virus. To determine the tipe of the virus, it requires the identification of a more complete nucleotide sequence. It is interesting because papillomavirus that infected the pigtail macaques has 76% homology with the HPV tipe 52. This is the first report on the incidence of papillomavirus infection in the pigtail macaque genome that further analysis
