Yield and yield components of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) selected by pedigree method in the lowlands, Bogor-Indonesia

Introduction. Segregated populations can show the fluctuating performance of one generation to another. This can sometimes confuse plant breeders in interpreting the observed phenomena and determining the selection methods that need to be chosen. Objective. To analyze the performance and yield components of several tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) populations using the pedigree method in lowland environments, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Materials and methods. This study was conducted in December 2018–April 2019, at the Experimental Garden of Bogor Agricultural University, Tajur II (207 meters above sea level), Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Four generations generated from 99D×Tora were used in the study, i.e. 200 plants of F2 generation and 100 plants of each of F3, F5, and F6 generations, respectively. Results. The results showed that the population variance in terms of yield and yield components and heritability were lower in the later generation compared with the earlier generation. Increase in the mean value was observed in F3 generation, but decreased in F5 and F6 generations in all observed characters. It could be caused by fixation as the result of the elimination of epistasis genes that played a role in the environmental stress. Conclusion. Pedigree selection at early generation was not suitable in the lowland. It is suggested to evaluate bulk or single seed descent methods, as those methods were able to maintain population variance up to later generations.

TYPOLOGIES OF RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN INDONESIAN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Typologies of religious moderation implementation in several State Islamic Higher Education and Public Higher Education are an interesting subject to discuss. The typologies can demonstrate the road model of educational institutions in building nationality and diversity. This study aims to analyze the typologies of religious moderation practiced at PTKI and PTU with a focus on studies at the State Islamic University Padang, State Islamic University Bandung, and Bogor Agricultural University. By employing a qualitative descriptive approach based on empirical phenomena and collecting data using interviews, participant observation, documentation, and literature review; the research finds that the typologies of religious moderation illustrate an integrative model of institutional and cultural interpolation, symbolic-paradigmatic schemes, internalization of Pendidikan Agama Islam ( PAI, Islamic Religious Education) subject, mainstreaming schemes of pesantren mahasiswa, and involvement of extra campus organizations. This study implies that there are various practices of religious moderation in higher educational institutions as models for other higher educational institutions.

EXPLORING SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING READINESS OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AT IPB UNIVERSITY

To equip learners to face global challenges, there is an urgency to support and facilitate learners to become autonomous, particularly in the higher education context. Being autonomous learners means being aware and taking control of their own learning process, which will prepare them for the future. In doing so, learners need to acquire the capability of self-direction, which leads to the approach of self-directed learning. The theoretical framework in this study was the modified version of Guglielmino’s Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS) as the guide for obtaining the data. Hence, this study aimed to measure the self-directed learning readiness of students in higher education, specifically in learning English as a Foreign Language. It revealed the attitudes, abilities, and characteristics of the learners contributing to their readiness in performing self-directed learning. This descriptive, quasi-quantitative study obtained the data through questionnaire responses among 268 undergraduate students at Bogor Agricultural University. The responses were tabulated and interpreted descriptively to obtain more comprehensive findings. The results show that there is room for improvement in increasing the learners’ readiness in self-directed learning through a classroom environment that allows them to explore their own learning. Although the average score of students’ self-directed learning readiness shows that the majority of students by 76.5% are ready to conduct self-directed learning, there are still 23.5% of students who are in the “not ready” category. By understanding the learners’ self-directed learning readiness, this study will contribute to the development of teaching and learning designs that prioritize learner autonomy. Considering the results of the self-directed learning readiness scale, strategies and innovations are needed to increase the overall score of students’ SDLR. Therefore, with appropriate teaching and learning design, it is hoped that learners can improve their capability of directing their own learning by taking the responsibility for learning instead of depending on the lecturers to provide knowledge. However, lecturers also need to be aware of their roles and give opportunities for learners to actively seek knowledge.

Total phenol content of accessions of Kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.) at different altitudes

Kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.) is one of the potential medicinal plants with a high enough market demand so that the cultivation of kencur is still quite promising. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of altitude on the total phenol content of several accessions of kencur. The research was carried out at the Tropical Biopharmaceutical Laboratory, Bogor Agricultural University, from June to November 2017. The treatment tested was kencur accession rhizome taken from two altitudes, 214 m asl (lowlands) and 780 m asl (highlands). 10 g of kencur accession rhizome powder was added with methanol in a ratio of 1:10, then macerated while shaking using a magnetic stirrer (25 °C; 180 min). The extract was filtered and the filtrate was dried using a rotary vacuum evaporator (50 rpm; 60 °C) until a dry crude extract was obtained. Total phenol was tested by the Folin-Ciocalteu method at a wavelength of 730 nm. The results showed that altitude significantly affected the total phenol content of the kencur accession rhizome extract. The highest total phenol content value was obtained from Galesia 1 (GAL 1) in the lowlands of 17.92 mg/g (equivalent to gallic acid/GAE) and in the highlands obtained from PBG accession (Purbalingga) of 24.85 GAE mg/g compared to other accessions.
