Mycorrhizal Inoculation for Growth Enhancement and Improvement of the Water Relations in Mangosteen (Garcinia Mangostana L.) Seedlings

Mangosteen (Garcinia delicious fruits of Malaysia and has great potential for commercial development. However, the long juvenile period resulting from the extremely slow growth of the seedlings renders itself an unattractive propcsition for cultivation on a large scale. Accelerating the growth rate of mangosteen seedlings is therefore an important prerequisite for the extensive commercialisation of this crop. Poorly developed root system characterised by unbranched, coarse and lack of laterals strongly correlated to the slow growth. Such root characteristics offer great opportunity for colonisation by arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM). The main objective of this study is therefore, to promote seedling growth through symbiotic associations between AM fungi and mangosteen roots. Results of inoculation studies have shO'Ml that mangosteen seedlings responded to AM infection with more than 60% of the total root length being infected. Introduced AM fungi caused tremendous improvements in the plant growth. Total dry biomass was 40%-64% and net assimilation rate was 30%- 40% higher than the uninoculated seedlings. AM inoculated plants also had 20%-40% more leaves that give 35%-65% greater leaf area compared to the uninoculated seedlings. Stomatal resistance, transpiration rates and chlorophyll content were also Significantly improved by mycorrhizal infection. Improvements in plant growth were primarily due to greater uptake of immobile nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu). Phosphorus, Zn and Cu uptakes by mycorrhizal plants were 67%-88%, 50%-93% and 53%-59% greater than the uninoculated plants, respectively. Colonisation Significantly induced greater root length density (RLD), root branching density (RBD) and number of root tips with RLD, RBD and number of root tips of AM plants ranged 58%-87%, 20%-30% and 22%-25% respectively greater compared to the uninoculated seedlings. Mycorrhizal rnangosteens were also more tolerant to water stress. They CQuid maintain higher stomatal conductance and photosynthesis at lower moisture status suggesting lower leaf water potentials at which stomata closes. Such ability indicates a more efficient stomatal regulation by AM plant

Impact of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) and Cement to the Strength Improvement of Hemic Peat

Peat soils are derived from organic deposition consisting of dead trees. Peat soils have low shear strength and cannot afford large loads. Various treatment methods are used to stabilize peat soils and most of them use cement as a main binder to increase the strength of peat soils. However, the use of large quantities of cement is not environment friendly due to the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and wastage of energy consumption by the cement production industry. Therefore, the introduction of SCBA as a substitution binder for some cement dosage is good as well as reducing the degradation of dumping waste which is increasingly uncontrollable. The objective of this study is to identify the basic and physical properties of peat soil from Pontian, Johor. In addition, this study was also conducted to identify the impact of SCBA on peat soil stabilization with cement. There are 5 different mixtures for cement and SCBA which are C100, C95S5, C90S10, C85S15 and C80S20 used in this study. Sample C95S5 with mixtures 95% cement and 5% SCBA were the optimum samples for this study based on unconfined compression strength (UCS) tests. The C95S5 sample successfully achieved the maximum strength of the whole sample with a strength of 190 kN/m2, 209 kN/m2, and 219 kN/m2 recorded for wet curing periods of 7,14 and 28 days. Therefore, the use of SCBA materials in the stabilization of peat soils with cement and calcium chloride (CaCl2) is seen to have a positive effect in increasing the shear strength of Hemic peat soil samples

Petrogenetic Study on Ultramafic Rocks from Waturapa and Surrounding Areas, South Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province

The petrogenesis study of ultramafic igneous rocks in the South Konawe Region has been carried out by several previous researchers, however, petrogenesis of ultramafic igneous rocks in the Waturapa Region has never been carried out in detail. This study aims to determine the characteristics and petrogenesis of ultramafic igneous rocks in the Waturapa area using petrographic and geochemical analysis using the XRF method. Petrographic analysis was carried out to determine the relative abundance percentage of primary minerals in the form of olivine, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, and opaque minerals as well as secondary serpentine minerals which were formed later. Meanwhile, XRF geochemical analysis is used to determine the major and minor oxide content in rocks. This geochemical data is used to determine ultramafic rock types, and magma series and to interpret the tectonic setting of the research location. The results showed that the ultramafic rocks in the study area consisted of olivine websterite and lherzolite, both of which have been serpentinized which is characterized by the presence of serpentine minerals such as lizardite and chrysotile. These serpentine minerals are present as replacement minerals and fracture-filling minerals. The geochemical characteristics of the analyzed rocks showed a SiO2 content of less than 45%, high MgO content, and low K2O, TiO2, Na2O3, and P2O5 compounds. The igneous rocks in the study area are classified as ultrabasic or ultramafic rocks (peridot gabbro). Ultramafic rocks in the study area belong to the tholeiitic magma series that formed in oceanic islands or oceanic intraplate margins

Germination pattern of three Mangifera species

The germination patterns of three Mangifera species at the seedbed stage were described. Seeds of M. foetida (Bacang), M. odorata (Kuini) and clones of M. indica (Telur, Tangkai Panjang and Sala) were sown vertically with the dorsal edge in the sandy seedbed. Germination and seedling emergence appear to be regulated physically by the fibrous endocarp. The endocarp resistance to seedling emergence consequently resulted in seedling abnormalities, especially in strongly polyembryonic cultivar such as Sala. Seed position during sowing, to a certain extent, may reduce the percentage of occurrence of seedling abnormalities. Seedling height, leaf number and the number of days for the first leaf flush to become green were related to the number of seedlings produced per seed and were cultivar-specific

Root alterations and nutrient uptake of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) seedlings in response to arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation

Alterations to root system characteristics and nutrient uptake of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) seedlings in response to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) inoculation were studied. Weight-related parameters were unsuccessful in detecting small changes in infected roots. Tap-root penetration, root dry weight and root-to-shoot ratio were not influenced by AM inoculation. However, AM inoculation induced significant changes to length-related characteristics. In comparison with the uninoculated controls, AM inoculation increased root length density by 58–87%, root branching density by 20–30%, number of root tips by 22–25% and number of laterals by 15–26%. Positive alterations to root system were accompanied by tremendous increase in nutrient uptake. Uptakes of P, Zn and Cu were 67–88, 50–93 and 34–37% higher in inoculated seedlings. These results indicate that improved growth and nutrient uptake of the AM-inoculated seedlings were due to positive alterations of root system characteristics by the symbiosis

Physiological responses of mycorrhizal and uninoculated seedlings of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) to water depletion and subsequent rewatering

Earlier reports have shown that mycorrhizal inoculation enhanced growth and overall quality of mangosteen seedlings. It is therefore imperative to evaluate the performance of these seedlings under the rigours of transplanting conditions. A glasshouse experiment was conducted by subjecting 15-month-old pre-inoculated mangosteen seedlings to non-irrigated conditions for 10 days followed by recovery irrigation from the 11th day onwards. Response of these seedlings to both water stress and recovery conditions was evaluated by comparing changes in leaf water potential (ΨL), stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthesis (Pn) with those of uninoculated seedlings. Results showed that as ΨL of irrigated seedlings remained between –0.2 and –0.4 MPa, the ΨL of stressed plants decreased progressively and reached –1.5 MPa after 10 days of withholding water. These ΨL values were significantly different from those of irrigated treatments as early as the fourth day. Mycorrhizal seedlings were able to maintain a relatively higher ΨL than the uninoculated ones. For every unit drop in ΨL, gs in mycorrhizal seedlings decreased by 1.38–1.44 cm/s while Pn by 1.64–1.89 μmol/m2/s. The corresponding decreases for gs and Pn of uninoculated seedlings were 1.94 cm/s and 2.08 μmol/m2/srespectively. On any given day, gs and Pn of mycorrhizal seedlings were consistently higher than that of uninoculated seedlings. Upon rewatering, ΨL, gs and Pn of mycorrhizal seedlings recovered to values not significantly different from irrigated plants within a shorter time period. The recovery rate of these processes was relatively faster than in uninoculated seedlings. As per unit increase in ΨL, physiological processes of mycorrhizal seedlings recovered at 0.34–0.42 cm/s (gs) and 1.78–2.50 μmol/m2/s (Pn) as compared with 0.18 cm/s and 1.45 μmol/m2/s respectively by uninoculated seedlings. In conclusion, arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation improved water relations of mangosteen seedlings both during stress and recovery period that could be important for their survival after field planting
