Identifikasi Tomato Infectious Chlorosis Virus Penyebab Penyakit Klorosis Pada Tanaman Tomat Di Cipanas Jawa Barat Melalui Perunutan Nukleotida Gen Protein Selubung Utama

Identification of tomato infectious chlorosis virus, the causal agent of chlorosis disease on tomato in Cipanas West Java by sequencing of main coat protein gene nucleotide. Tomato infectious chlorosis virus (TICV) causes chlorosis on tomato. Tomatoes infected by this virus shows interveinal yellowing, necrotic, bronzing, brittleness, and declining in productivity. This study aims to identify the causal agent of chlorotic disease on tomato by sequencing the coat protein gene. The methods involve collecting infected plants, total RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, DNA amplification, visualization of the results of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and phylogenetic analysis using BLAST, clustal w, Bioedit v 7.0.5.3, MEGA v 6:06. RT-PCR using spesific primers (CP-F TICV Bam and TICV R-Hind) amplified a DNA band of 792 bp, which has been successfully sequenced and identified as TICV. Nucleotide sequences homology analysis showed that TICV Indonesia_TWJ isolate Cipanas is the same strain as TICV from other countries (99.4 – 100%), such as Spain, Greece, USA, France, and Italy

Karakterisasi Molekuler Nucleaopolyhedrovirus (Npv) Hyposidra Talaca Wlk. di Perkebunan Teh Gunung Mas Bogor

Characterize molecular the Nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) Hyposidra talaca Wlk. of tea plantation at Gunung Mas Bogor. Hyposidra talaca is one of the most important pest in tea plantation, and generally attacks of leaves and shoots. This pest cause yield loss up to 40-100%. NPV can be pathogenic to the pest of H. talaca and can be developed as an alternative measure to control H. talaca in tea plantations and based management appears to be more ecofriendly and effective. However, information regarding characterisation molecular of HytaNPV is limited. The study conducted to characterize molecular the NPV of H. talaca by restriction nucleotide and amino acid, by using gens lef-8. Molecular identification used Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) consisted of DNA extraction, DNA amplication, and DNA electrophoresis. DNA amplication using gen lef-8 showed positif result with approximately 770 bp. Gen lef-8 can identified HytaNPV. DNA sequance showed that isolate HytaNPV Bogor had high homology of pathogonic NPV of genus Helicoverpa from Brazil, Australia, Spanyol and Netherland with homology nucleotide and amino acid reached 98% and 100%. Based on philogeny tree of HytaNPV was one group with pathogenic NPV of genus Helicoverpa
