Judul: Analisis keragaman genetika manggis berdasarkan karakter  fenotipe dan marka molekuler mikrosatelit pada empat sentra produksi di pulau Jawa
Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis keragaman genetik manggis berdasarkan marka molekular mikrosatelit pada empat sentra produksi manggis yaitu Leuwiliang, Kaligesing, Puspahiang, dan Wanayasa. Penelitian kontruksi marka mikrosatelit dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Hortikultura, Departeman Bioproduksi Tanaman, Universitas Ibaraki Jepang pada september 2008-Februari 1009. Analisis makra mikrosatelit dilaksanakan di Pusat Kajian Buah Tropika (PKBT) IPB dan Pengamatan lapangan di empat produksi manggis di Jawa pada September 2009-Februari 2010

Judul: Analisis keragaman morfologi tanaman manggis (Garcinia Mangostana L.) dari empat sentra produksi di Bali
Abstrak: Mangosteen population has been reported performed apomixis reproduction, lead to assumption genetically homogen. Early studies showed that there were variation among mangosteen population. However the variation could be originated from environment variation. To elucidate genetic variability among mongosteen population in more detail seedling from Purworejo, Purwakarta, Leuwiliang and Trenggalek where grew at same environment in Bogor. The objective of this study is to analysis variability among mangosteen population from Purworejo, Purwakarta, Leuwiliang and Trenggalek. The studies was carried out in the origin of population for morphological character and at Bogor for seedling performance since February 2003 to July 2003. The plant material for this study were ten parent trees from each production centre and ten fruits from each trees, subsequently their seed used for seedling at Bogor. Obtained data analyzed by using homogenity of variance test (Bartlet test) and was continued with Tukey's Studentized Range Test. The plants in seedling were arranged in Completely Randomized Design consisted of four treatment with 10 replications. The result of this study was showed the homogenity variance in leaf weight, leaf area indeks, leaf length, leaf width, fruit weight, seed weight, number of seed. In seedling all character that observed had homogen variance. The analysis of mean morphological character showed that Trenggalek might had the best condition for mangosteen growth. Plant from Trenggalek showed the highest mean in leaf length, leaf width, plant height and number of leaf. All character that observed in seedling had high heritability. Comparison with other study in 2002 and 2001 showed that population had the same result in homogenity variance, was performed that leaf area index, leaf length, leaf width, plant height and number of leaf had homogen variance. It showed that mangosteen population probably had a stable response to enviromental influence

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
