Abstract

Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. is one of the species of Asteraceae which is potential as medicinal. Propagation of the species could be conducted by vegetative, so the plant genetic variability is narrow. Genetic variability could be increased by somaclonal variation through callus culture. There is no report on in vitro regeneration from callus culture, although this method could assist further genetic improvement of plants. In this experiment, different concentrations of 2,4- D (0.1 ; 0.3 ; 0.5 mg L -1 ) singly or combination with BA (0.1 ; 0.3 and 0.5 mg L -1 ) were evaluated for callus induction and several concentrations of BA (0 ; 0.1; 0.5 and 1.0 mg -1 ) combination with kinetin (0.1 and 0.3 mg-1) were observed for ability of callus formed shoots. The results showed that the best media for callus induction was 0.5 mg L -1 2,4-D + 0.5 mg L -1 BA. This treatment produced friable callus structure, no roots and yellowish white. Callus regeneration was obtained on the combination of 0.1 mg L -1 BA. + 0.1 mg L -1 kinetin and 0.1 mg L -1 BA + 0.5 mg L -1 kinetin but the percentage was still low. Keywords: G procumbens {Lour.} Merr, induction, regeneration, calli, in vitro

Abstract

Pityriasis versicolor is a superficial fungal infection characterized by changes in skin pigment due to stratum corneum colonization by Malassezia furfur. The Increasing of antifungal resistance and high recurrence rate, requires alternative treatment of medicinal plants. Pegagan (Centella asiatica L.) is known to produce secondary metabolites that have antifungal activity produced by endophytic bacteria that live on pegagan plant tissue. The study aimed to determine the antifungal activity of pegagan endophytic bacteria isolates to Inhibit the Growth of Malassezia furfur. The endophytic bacteria isolates were re cultured on NA media with a streak plate method. Antifungal activity test used the disk diffusion method which is characterized by the formation of inhibitory zones. Total of 37 endophytic bacteria isolates were successed re cultured, and there were 15 endophytic bacterial isolates that have potentcy as antifungal agent with inhibitory zones ranged from 6.5 to 15.52 mm. The most potential isolate was similarity with genus Pseudomonas. The secondary metabolites contained of alkaloids, terpenoids and saponins. The potential Centella asiatica endophytic bacteria had antifungal activity and similarity with the genus Pseudomonas.

Abstract

Padang Panjang has several tourist attractions surrounded by secondary forests with natural vegetation, one of them is the Minangkabau Village. The Minangkabau village has potencies to be an ecotourism object. This study aims to analyze the potential of avifauna that have an attraction for ecotourism development, determine the role of stakeholders in supporting ecotourism development in Padang Panjang, and analyze development priorities as its potencies and objects of ecotourism attraction in Padang Panjang. We used The MacKinnon method by conducting direct surveys in the field when the birds are active in the morning and evening. Deep interviews were conducted with Dinas Pemuda Olahraga dan Pariwisata (Disporapar) Kota Padang Panjang to determine stakeholders' role in tourism activities in Padang Panjang. SWOT analysis is carried out to see the priority of ecotourism development so that it is more focused and able to contribute to ecotourism areas and the community. The data obtained were analyzed to calculate the Diversity Index, Species Richness, and Species Evenness. The research results show that the Minangkabau Village areas have high diversity, richness, and evenness of bird species, namely H' 3.21, DM 7.50, and ED 0.85. There were 43 bird species from 23 families. Species that has high conservation status are Serindit Melayu (Loriculus galgulus) protected species, Jalak Kerbau (Acridotheres javanicus) with Vulnerable IUCN status, Julang Emas (Rhyticeros undulatus) Vulnerable IUCN status also protected and 2 species of Eagle (Ictinaetus malayensis and Spilornis cheela). These species have potencies to be developed as an ecotourism attraction object that stakeholders support as coaches and companions. The strategy for developing ecotourism in Padang Panjang under its potencies for biodiversity is to increase public knowledge about animal conservation (especially avifauna), biodiversity, and the adverse effects of hunting and collaborate to manage ecotourism by hiking/jungle tracking and birdwatching.
