Optimasi Sistem Regenerasi Dan Transformasi Padi Varietas Elit Indonesia

New ricevariety can be generated by means of transgenic approach.Transgenic rice researches have been conducted in manyinstitutions worldwide using Japonica, Indica, and Javanicavarieties. The most cultivated rice in Indonesia is Indica.Indica type is known to have low responsive tissues inculture and transformation media when compared toJaponica rice. This research activity is aimed to optimizeregeneration and transformation systems of the Indonesianelite rice varieties, so that good method can be achieved tobe used in the generation of transgenic elite rice varieties ofIndica type. The research consisted of two activities:regeneration and transformation optimizations in varieties ofDodokan (upland rice) and Inpari 6 (irrigated rice).Immature embryo was used as the explant in this research.The optimization studies used 2 types of media, NBH (N6salts and vitamins, cassamino acid 0.5 g/l, L-proline 0.5 g/l,sucrose 20 g/l, D-glucose 10 g/l, 2.4-D 2 mg/l, NAA 1 mg/l, BA1 mg/l, agarose Type I 5.5 g/l) and NBH-M (N6 macro salts,B5 micro salts, and vitamins, 0.3 g/l cassamino acid, 3 g/l Lproline,20 g/l sucrose, 3 mg/l 2.4-D, 1 mg/l NAA, 1 mg/l BAP,5.5 agarose Type I), 2 types of regeneration media, R1 (MSbase media and vitamis, 0.3 g/l glutamine, 30 g/l sucrose, 2mg/l kinetin, 1 mg/l NAA, 3 g/l phytagel) and R2 (MS basemedia and vitamins, 2 g/l cassamino acid, 20 g/l sucrose, 30mg/l sorbitol, 2.5 mg/l kinetin, 0.25 mg/l NAA, 3 g/l phytagel).Optimization transformation of Indonesian elite rice varietiesused developed an empty plasmid pCAMBIA 1301 containinghpt gene. The transformation was conducted using twotypes of co-cultivation media, K1 (N6 macro salts, B5 microsalts, and vitamins, 0.5 g/l cassamino acid, 0.5 g/l L-proline,20 g/l sucrose, 10 g/l glucose, 2 mg/l 2.4-D, 1 mg/l NAA, 1mg/l BAP, 0.1 mM acetosyringone) and K2 (N6 macro salts,B5 micro salts, and vitamins, 0.5 g/l cassamino acid, 0.5 g/l Lproline,20 g/l sucrose, 10 g/l glucose, 2 mg/l 2.4-D, 1 mg/lNAA, 1 mg/l BAP, 0.2 mM acetosyringone). The resultsshowed that Inpari 6 could form embryonic calli in NBHmedia and further regenerated well in R1 media (13.8%).The co-cultivation media K1 generated more selected calliwhich then generated green plant of young embryocompared to K2. Inpari 6 showed higher regeneration ratesafter transformation (3.6%) compared to Dodokan (0%).Molecular analysis showed that all 11 transformants (Inpari6) tested contained the hpt gene. These results are expectedto support the development of transgenic Indica ricegeneration in Indonesia

Perbaikan Padi (Oryza Sativa L.) Varietas Ciherang Untuk Sifat Umur Genjah Dan Produksi Tinggi Menggunakan Marka Molekuler* [Improvement of Ciherang Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Variety for Early Maturity and High Production Trait Using Molecular Marker]

The improvement of rice (Oryza sativa L.) Ciherang variety for early maturity and high production traits was carried out by Marker Assisted Backcrossing (MAB) method using Nipponbare as donor parent. The foreground selection of Hd2 gene was laid on flanking markers of RM1362 and RM7601 in QTL region. The selection process of F1 to BC2F2 plants were based on molecular markers and agronomic characters. The BC2F3 plants were challenged to bacterial leaf blight to know their resistance in this hybridization. The results indicated that the foreground and background selection were not sufficient as selection tools therefore they would be more accurate if assosiated with agronomic characters. Four selected lines derived from Ciherang x Nipponbare crossed (BC2F3 plant # 283, 307, 373, and 462) could be promising lines with early maturity and high productioncompared to Ciherang. Selected BC2F3 lines flowered earlier than original Ciherang up to 7-10 days, while the yield increasing was 3.55 to 9.2% higher based on weight of filled grains/plant, and from 3.58 to 19.39% higher based on the number of filled grain/plant. However, all of BC2F3 lines were not resistant to bacterial leaf blight attack

Identification of Lava Domes in Pangkajene Caldera, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract\ud \ud From the western to southern part of Pangkajene area, a number of rising topography are shown on plain morphology in the Walanae Depression. This topography anomaly in the surrouding plain morphology which composed of volcanic products is interpreted as lava domes. This study aims to identify morphology and lithology of the lava domes in Pangkajene caldera. Based on field data, and analyses of topographic map and SRTM image, it is defined that geomorphological units of the Pangkajene Paleovolcanic consist of: 1) Pyroclastic mountains, 2) Lava-flow hills, 3) Lava domes, and 4) Alluvial plain. The lava domes lining in form of cone-shape hills from northwest to southwest. Geomorphological process developed is denudation which indicated by the irregular surface of the domes. Lithology of the lava domes include andesitic lava (Bulu Loa) and trachytic lava (Bulu Allakuang, Bulu Batulappa and Bulu Watangpulu). In some places among the trachytic lava domes, volcanic necks are exposed which intrude ignimbrites such as at Bulu Tinebbang, Bulu Kunyi and Bulu Batualong. Petrographic analysis on trachyte indicates porphyritic and trachytic textures which consists of feldspar phenocrysts (oligoclase, orthoclase, sanidine) biotite and hornblende; and groundmass (glass and feldspar microlites). The formation of the lava domes is in the latest phase of the volcanic eruption in Pangkajene caldera. It is interpreted that after the collapse of the caldera, the volcanic necks then exposed, and eruption in the opening spaces subsequently formed the andesitic and trachytic lava domes

Paradigm on Chronic Constipation: Pathophysiology, Diagnostic, and Recent Therapy

Chronic constipation is a medical gastrointestinal problem which can degrade patient's quality of life. So far, the shifting pathophysiologic mechanism to colonic neuropathology has not been supported by diagnostic facility and therapy. Target therapy for chronic constipation related to enteric nervous system is still limited to study. Currently, the discovery of neurotrophin-3 has not shown any significant development needed in daily clinical practice. Until now study related to endoscopic full-thickness biopsy has not been done in human and waiting for its applications in daily practice. Targeted therapy for chronic constipation which is related to enteric nervous system is still limited to study. The discovery of neurotrophin-3, although currently on clinical trial phase II, still not showing any significant contribution in daily clinical practice. New pathophysiologic mechanism shifting the ‘idiopathic' paradigm or ‘functional' to colonic neuropathology has not been met with diagnostic modalities and therapy based on this knowledge. Study regarding endoscopic full-thickness biopsy to help revealing this novel mechanism has not been done in human. Henceforth, until now applied studies pertinent to this subject are longing in order for enteric neuron etiology can be firmly established Thus, in the future, translational study is demandingly needed for a firm establishment of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities to its currently evolving pathophysiology

USING A FOUR-PHASE TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE THE STUDENTS’ IMAGINATIVE WRITING SKILLS (A Classroom Action Research at the Eleventh Grade Students of SMA Negeri 2 Sukoharjo in the Academic Year of 2009/2010)

Writing in the 2004 Competency-Based Curriculum of English for Senior High School, is one of the English language skills that should be taught integratedly in a continum sequence with listening, speaking, and reading skills to gain communicative competence. It is taught for the purpose of achieving literacy (Wells, 1987). Literacy here means the use of socially, historically, and culturallysituated practices of creating and interpreting meaning through a text (Kern, 2000: 221). Thus, writing is intended to be taught at senior high schools for the purpose of giving students discourse competencies to participate in creating text for accessing knowledge (MGMP Sukoharjo, 2006: 14)
