Scientific literacy is define as the capacity of use scientific knowledge in order to understand and help make decision about the natural world and the changes made it through human activity. Teachers are a major factor in the success of learning, therefore it is necessary to test the scientific literacy skill  of biology teacher students. This study aims to find out science literacy of biology teacher students and the corellation between of integrated science process skill, and reading comprehension skill of biology teacher students to their scientific literacy skill. The method for this research  used the survey method with correlational studies. The sample of this research is 81 students of biology teacher students of Jakarta State University. The results shows that the scientific literacy of biology education students is destitute. It is shown from the average score of their scientific literacy skill which is 45.58. This study shows that correlation coefficient obtained is 0,457 which means that there is correlation between integrated science process skill with scientific literacy skill. This study also shows that there is correlation between reading comprehension skill with with scientific literacy skill which correlation coefficient obtained is 0,214.

The science literacy ability of students and teachers both in cities and villages were measured using two different types of test instruments each for teachers and students consisting of 40 modified PISA and TIMSS questions. The method used in this research is Ex-Post Facto. The study population were three schools in the village and three schools in the city chosen by purposive sampling based on the high, medium and low national examination (UN) scores, with the total number of research subjects of 480 students and 16 teachers taken at randomly. Data analysis was made using ANAVA test. The results showed: 1) there is an influence of the geographic location of the school in the village and in the city against students science literacy with p <0.00; 2) there is no effect of UN score on science literacy score of students with p> 0.189; 3) there is no influence of teachers science literacy on students science literacy with p> 0,318; 4) there is an influence of geographical location in city and in village with UN input to students science literacy with P <0,00; 5) there is no influence of geographical location with teachers literacy toward students science literacy score p> 0,194; 6) there is an influence of UN score input with teachers science literacy on science literacy score of students with P <0.00; 7) there is no influence of geographical location, UN value and teachers literacy toward science literacy score of students with P> 0.712.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is annual crop that have high morphologies and yield components diversity. The research was conducted at the first season of 2011, the objective of the research were to find morphological, yield, and yield component of Soybean germplasm (Glicine max L.). The research was carried out at experimental station BB-BIOGEN Citayam, Depok, and laboratory of Gene Bank BB-BIOGEN. The experiment used randomized block design with 100 different accessions and three replications for each accession. Based on the observation, the morphological characters have many visual forms. They are as follows: growth percentage in which 19.33 -99%; growth types were determinate and indeterminate, the leave form was triangle to sharp; purple and white flowers; yellow and black seeds color. The range of values for each characteristic component are as follows: plant height 29,23 -104,25 cm; number of pods per plant was 23,6 -99,82; flowering time 33 -47 days after planting; 100 seed weight 5,98 -20,77 gram; maturing time 75 -96,67 days after planting; root nodule's weight 0,004 -0,109 gram; seed's weight 3,15 -11,45 gram/plant. Among the accessions, the highest yield was shown by B 4323 (643,27 gram/3,6 m2). Significant correlation was shown between soybean's yield components and yield which were plant's height, growth percentage, numbers of main stem's node, numbers of pods, seeds weight for each plant and root nodule's weight. 100 seeds weight showed significant negative correlation with soybean components.

This study aims to find growth medium commercial yeast (S.cerevisiae) and determine the optimum composition of bioethanol fermentation. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Bioprocess PPPTMGB "LEMIGAS" along May to September 2015. The method used is experiment using a completely randomized design consisting of two treatment. The first treatment is an alternative growth media utilization, namely, tofu liquid waste, coconut water and a mixture of both. The second treatment is the composition of the fermentation with sugar content of 100 ml, 150 ml and 200 ml with the addition of 10 ml starter in each experiment. Data of commercial yeast cell growth (S.cerevisiae) on alternative growth media were analyzed by Anova one way. The results showed that there was an interaction of commercial yeast cell growth (S.cerevisiae) on alternative growth media. Post-hoc test showed the alternative media that consists of a mixture of tofu liquid waste and coconut water produce the highest commercial yeast cell growth at 25,8 x107 with a 7.62 log value (cells/ml). The most optimum of bioethanol produced in the fermentation process is on sugar 100 ml by the addition of 10 ml starter acquire as much as 45 ml of ethanol content.

Banana (Musa sp. -ABB) cv. Kepok is one of type banana processed that have a very potential commodities fruit developed to support food survival. The purpose of this study was to knowing the effect of gamma irradiation on the growth of banana plants cv. Kepok in vitro. This study was conducted in October 2014 -October 2015 in Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Biological -Science UNJ. The methods used was experiment with fully randomized design. Factors that tested was 6 gamma irradiation doses (0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 Gy) with 10 repetition. Observation of phenotypic generate diverse characters on the growth of the number of shoots and leaves. Gamma irradiation dose of 50 Gy is doses most inhibits the growth of character. Mutations that occur in banana plantlets cv. Kepok generated by the treatment doses gamma irradiation induced mutation is random.

Kepok PENDAHULUANPisang merupakan komoditas buah-buahan yang sangat potensial dikembangkan untuk menunjang ketahanan pangan. Pisang memiliki keunggulan yang dibutuhkan seperti kandungn nutrisi, produktivitas yang cukup tinggi dan kemampuan untuk mengatasi tekanan lingkungan sekitarnya untuk dapat bertahan hidup (Deptan, 2006). Pisang merupakan hasil pangan pertanian terpenting keempat di dunia setelah beras, gandum, dan jagung (INIBAP, 2000). Produksi pisang di Indonesia menduduki tempat kelima dunia dengan besaran 3,6 juta ton atau 5 persen dari produksi dunia (Deptan, 2006). Produktivitas pisang di Indonesia pada tahun 2014 mencapai 70.46 ton per hektar dan konsumsi buah pisang penduduk Indonesia mencapai 5,902 kg per kapita setahun (BPS, 2014).Tanaman pisang merupakan tanaman yang diperbanyak secara vegetatif sehingga memiliki keterbatasan dalam perolehan variasi genetik, serta membutuhkan waktu generasi yang panjang dalam siklus vegetatifnya. Peningkatan keragaman genetik pada tanaman pisang dapat dilakukan melalui induksi mutasi, dan pada saat ini metode pemuliaan dengan mutasi dan bioteknologi untuk peningkatan keragaman genetik dapat menjadi suatu alternatif metode yang bermanfaat bagi pemuliaan tanaman pisang (IAEA, 2009).Mutasi adalah suatu proses perubahan yang mendadak pada materi genetik dari suatu sel, yang mencakup perubahan pada tingkat molekuler, gen dan kromosom (Poehlman and Sleper, 1995). Proses mutasi dapat menimbulkan perubahan pada sifat-sifat genetis tanaman baik ke arah positif maupun negatif, dan normal. Mutasi yang terjadi ke arah sifat positif dan terwariskan ke generasi berikutnya merupakan mutasi yang dikehendaki oleh pemulia tanaman (Sisworo et al., 2010).
