Accurate Nitrogen and Water Deficit Trigger Flavonoid and Proline Accumulation in Celery (Apium graveolens L.)

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Celery is a plant that produces secondary metabolites, known as flavonoids, with distinctive taste and smell. Flavonoids are synthesized in leaves and mainly accumulate in vacuoles of cells. Water deficit is one of the abiotic stress factors that affect the increase of several amino acids as cofactors that form secondary metabolites. Moreover, nitrogen nutrients have an essential role in the formation of amino acids and chlorophyll. The research results show that the total fresh weight increased at around 450 g by applying 200 kg N ha^-1 under 100% field capacity (FC). Consequently, there was an increase in fresh weight, followed by the biomass of celery, which was 1/15 of fresh weight. Meanwhile, the accumulated flavonoid concentration was higher at 50% field capacity and 100 kg N ha^-1. Surprisingly, the content of proline and flavonoids in leaves of the same age had higher concentrations at 100 kg N ha^-1 and 50% FC compared to the concentration of proline and flavonoids at 200 kg N ha^-1 in the form of urea fertilizer, namely 0.25 µmol g^-1 and 67.84 ppm, respectively. At 50% FC and 100 kg N ha^-1, it is slightly higher on proline and flavonoids than the application of 100% FC and 200 kg N ha^-1. The highest accumulation of phosphorus in leaves is interestingly at around 0.51 ppm at 50% FC, compared to the application of 100% FC at 100 and 200 kg N ha^-1half bellows at around 0.3.

Rice (Oryza sativa) production in Indonesia has declined due to low iron (Fe) availability in alkaline soils, impacting plant growth and yield. Integrating Fe seed coating with sago (Metroxylon sp.) waste organic fertilizer may improve Fe availability and soil quality, offering a potential solution to enhance rice production. Our objective was to examine the effects of Fe seed coating and the incubation of sage waste organic fertilizer on rice growth. The study employed a factorial 2-factor randomized block design. The first factor was the concentration of Fe seed coating, with four levels: 0 g, 55 g with 2.5 g gypsum, 110 g with 5 g gypsum, and 275 g with 12.5 g gypsum. The second factor was the incubation time of organic fertilizer, with four durations: 0 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, and 5 weeks. The interaction between Fe seed coating and sago waste organic fertilizer incubation significantly impacted plant height (153.33 cm), leaf color chart scale (4), chlorophyll a (254.73 μmol.m^-2), chlorophyll b (96.90 μmol.m^-2), with the most notable effects observed at a Fe seed coating concentration of 275 g with 12.5 g of gypsum and a 5-week incubation period. The application of Fe seed coating at a concentration of 275 g with 12.5 gypsum, combined with a 5-week of sago waste organic fertilizer, effectively enhances plant height, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and the leaf color chart scales.

Mycorrhiza Arbuscular's Morpho-Species Identification in The Post- Nickel Mining Soil

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Using biological agent microorganisms such as Arbuscular Vesicular Mycorrhiza (AVM) is needed to improve post-mining soil fertility. This research aimed to explore and identify morpho species of AVM in the post-nickel mining areas Soil samples were taken from the tree rhizosphere at each representative point. The soil samples have been isolated using Brundrett's method of wet sieving and decanting; AVM spore density is determined for each 20 g soil sample; and spores are grouped based on morphological traits up to the morphogenic stage of the species. The results showed that there are four mycorrhizal species found in the rhizosphere of plants in the nickel post-mining soil of PT Vale Indonesia Tbk., namely Gigaspora sp, Acaulospora sp, Glomus sp, and Scutellospora sp. Gigaspora sp, Acaulospora sp, Glomus sp, and Scutellospora sp obtained 18, 8, 8, and 7 morpho species, respectively. The highest spore density is 34 spores of Gigaspora sp4 found in the rhizosphere of Casuarina rumphiana, 57 spores of Acaulospora sp1 in the rhizosphere of Macaranga gigantea, two spores of Glomus sp1, sp2, and sp6 each as many as two spores per 20 g of soil in rhizosphere of Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Dillenia serrata, Maesopsis eminii, 11 spores of Scutellospora sp6 in the Shizigium sp rhizosphere. One finding revealed that Gigaspora and Acaulospora predominated in the rhizosphere over other mycorrhizas. The results of this AVM identification will be the basis for the mass propagation of local AVM for broader use in the post-nickel mining land area in Sorowako. Widespread use of AVM is a form of post-nickel mining land management based on local resource potential, particularly the dominant trees rhizosphere and the most commonly found AVM types. This proves that AVM can colonize plant roots in this nickel post-mining soil and potentially be mass-propagated, especially species.

In searching for a track record of earth formation, people tend to interpret field data in a way that limits the potential of history and explanation, which is often less influenced by theory and available facts, this requires valid data gathered intellectually. Geocomputing, which is the digital processing of geographic data, is a relatively recent field that reflects a wide range of research methodologies and their application to help solve problems in machine learning, geostatistics, image processing, and spatial analysis, among other areas. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of using geocomputational methods with Avenza Map and ArcGIS. This study uses geocomputation and spatial analysis to carry out geological mapping at a scale of 1:25,000 located in the Battang area, West Wara District, Palopo City, South Sulawesi. Two aspects are the main focus in implementing this research method, namely when mapping by relying on Avenza with a base map sourced from the Rupa Bumi Indonesia (RBI) map and on data management using the ArcGIS application to become a 3D map. Lithological of the study area showed basalt, porphyry basalt, and phyllite. The geological structure that develops in the research area is joint and fault. Avenza Map work with spatial analysis in ArcGIS is obtained cognitively, involving the relationship between individual conditions, tools, and terrain conditions. It can be stated that the use of avenza on smartphones in this modernization condition is more effective. This research allows for a review of the practical level of use of computer methods ranging from mapping to data management. Regarding implementing cognitive mapping, Avenza Map and ArcGIS can be recommended tools in geo-computation techniques as more effective support for recording and managing data while still paying attention to noise that may occur as a barrier to data accuracy.
