Judul: Vigor daya simpan dan vigor kekuatan tumbuh benih pada beberapa genotipe cabai (Capsicum annuum L.)
Abstrak: Chili peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of commercial vegetables which has high economic value in Indonesia. The research was aimed to study the storability period and vigor of nine genotypes of chili pepper seeds through salinity stress and drought stress. The experiment of accelarated aging was using chemical method through methanol (20%) soak period i.e 1, 2 and 3 hour. The genotype number 307 (Bhaskara F1) has highest storability (VDS) based on dry weight of normal seedlings (BKKN) 3.99 mg, 2.77 mg and 1.29 mg, germination percentage (DB) 7.45%, 4.67% and 2.08%, speed of germination (KCT) 3.17% etmal-1, 1.93% etmal-1 and 1.14% etmal-1, and seedling growth rate (LPK) 1.32 mg, 1.54 mg and 1.20 mg. The experiment of sub optimum condition through salinity stress was using NaCl concentration treatment that is 2500, 3750 and 5000 ppm. The genotype number 293 (SKB 27) was elucidated as the most tolerant genotypes to salinity stress through dry weight of normal seedlings 5.15 mg, 5.06 mg and 4.67 mg, germination percentage 68.52%, 57.58% and 53.94%, speed of germination 16.60% etmal-1, 14.30% etmal-1 and 14.00% etmal-1, and seedling growth rate 1.48 mg, 1.54 mg and 1.47 mg. Experiments vigor chilli pepper seeds to drought stress was using PEG 6000 at -1.0, -1.5 and -2.0 bar. The genotype number 307 (Bhaskara F1) was elucidated as the most resistance genotypes to drought stress through dry weight of normal seedlings 5.07 mg, 5.02 mg and 4.69 mg, germination percentage 60.84%, 60.81% and 56.59%, speed of germination 16.04% etmal-1, 15.13% etmal-1 and 13.88% etmal-1, seedling growth rate 1.52 mg, 1.51 mg and 1.49 mg and the length of radicle (PR) 2.20 cm, 1.46 cm and 1.81 cm.

Judul: Viabilitas Benih Cabai (Capsicum annuum L.) pada Beberapa Tingkat Kemasakan Buah dan Genotipe
Abstrak: This research used six open pollinated chilli genotypes, namely Anies 1, Anies 2, Seloka 1, Seloka 2, Seloka 3, and SSP were tested in 5 different fruit maturity levels, namely 32, 35, 38, 41, and 44 days after anthesis (DAA). This research used 3 different group of branches, namely the first branches (branches 2-5), second branches (branches 6-7), and third branches (branches 8-9). Physiological maturity is determined by seed viability, vigor and dry seed weight. This study showed the highest values of viability and vigor occured at the level of maturity 44 DAA. The highest viability had germination (DB) on average 84.17% and the highest vigor had vigor index value (IV) on average 20.83%. Germination value was high, and the value of the vigor index was low. Seeds dry weight had started to increase at 38 DAA for all genotypes and remained stable until 44 DAA. The highest seed dry weight indicated that seeds were physiologically mature. Quantitative characters of fruits and seeds were not significantly correlated to the value of IV and DB. The value of IV and DB in first branches was not different with second branches, but most of the quantitative characters of fruits and seeds at first branches were different with second branches.

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
