Judul: Keragaman genetika tiga kultivar kelapa genjah berdasarkan penanda molekuler random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
Abstrak: Informasi keragaman genetika dari populasi kelapa koleksi plasma nutfah sangat dibutuhkan untuk usaha konservasi dan perakitan kelapa unggul. Sampai saat ini informasi keragaman genetika dari koleksi kelapa lokal yang dimiliki masih sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keragaman genetika antar dan dalam kultivar kelapa Genjah Oranye Sagerat (GOS), Genjah Kuning Bali (GKB), dan Genjah Kuning Nias (GKN) menggunakan penanda molekular Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD).

Judul: Keragaman genetik kelapa genjah jombang berdasarkan  penanda RAPD (Random Amplified PoIymorphic DNA)
Abstrak: Information of genetic diversity in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is necessary to support the breeding programs and germplasm conservation efforts. RAPD is molecular marker can provide to enhance the efficiency of early selection for time consuming of coconut breeding. The objective of this research was to study the genetic diversity of Jombang dwarf coconut populations grown at Pakuwon and Mapanget Coconut Research Station (BALITKA) and at Jombang, and to identify RAPD markers of Genjah Merah Jombang (GMJ), Genjah Kuning Jombang (GKJ), Genjah Hijau Jombang (GHJ), and Genjah Coklat Jombang (GCJ) populations. DNA was amplified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and ten random decamer primers. 92% of RAPD markers were polymorphic. Genetic diversity of coconut population in BALITKA was higher than that in Jombang. Genetic diversity within GMJ, GKJ, GHJ, and GCJ populations was 15, 15, 19, and 16% respectively, but among populations was 20%. 750 bp band has been identified from DNA bulk of GCJ coconut using OPA 18 primer. This DNA fragment need to be analyzed further whether could be used as spesific marker for GCJ coconut population.

Judul: Adsorption of Cu(II) using synthetic Zeolite from coal fly ash
Abstrak: Fly ash and synthetic zeolite synthesized from coal fly ash had been used to investigate the adsorption of Cu2+ synthetic solution. Optimation studies of adsorption process was performed batch system in central composite design with three parameters, pH, contact time, and concentration of adsorbent. The optimum condition for adsorption process for fly ash and synthetic zeolite were found at pH 5.5 and 4, contact time 83 and 58 minutes, and adsorbent concentration at 150 and 90 mg/50 mL solution respectively. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied. The Langmuir models fits best the equilibrium isotherm data. The optimum fly ash and zeolite synthetic adsorption capacities were 4,11 mg/g and 60,97 mg/g respectively. The kinetics data were tested using a pseudo first-order and a pseudo second-order Lagergren equation. Kinetics data correlated well with the pseudo second-order kinetics model. Thermodinamic study indicated that adsorption process was spontaneous and accompanied by an increase in entropy and decrease in Gibbs energy. The decreasing of adsorption capacity of Cu(II) by both fly ash and synthetics zeolite were influenced by the coexisting ions Pb(II) or Mn(II), although there were increasing of the total adsorption capacity.
