Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), an intrinsic plant defense mechanism, can be efficiently triggered by double stranded (ds)RNA-producing transgenes and can provide high level virus resistance by specific targeting of cognate viral RNA. The discovery of virus-encoded suppressors of PTGS led to concerns about the stability of such resistance. Here, we show that Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is able to suppress dsRNA-induced PTGS and the associated Potato virus Y (PVY) immunity in tobacco. CMV suppression supported only a transient PVY accumulation and did not prevent recovery of the transgenic plants from PVY infection. CMV inoculation resulted in strongly increased transgene mRNA levels due to suppression of PTGS, but accumulation of PVY-specific small interfering (si)RNA was unaffected. However, PVY accumulation in previously immune plants resulted in increased PVY siRNA levels and transgene mRNA was no longer detected, despite the presence of CMV. Transgene mRNA returned to high levels once PVY was no longer detected in CMV-infected plants. Recovered and chronically CMV-infected tissues were immune to further PVY infection.

We have characterised six Australian Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) strains belonging to different subgroups, determined by the sequence of their complete RNA 3 and by their host range and the symptoms they cause on species in the Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae and on sweet corn. These data allowed classification of strains into the known three CMV subgroups and identification of plant species able to differentiate the Australian strains by symptoms and host range. Western Australian strains 237 and Twa and Queensland strains 207 and 242 are closely related members of CMV subgroup IA, which cause similar severe symptoms on Nicotiana species. Strains 207 and 237 (subgroup IA) were the only strains tested which systemically infected sweet corn. Strain 243 caused the most severe symptoms of all strains on Nicotiana species, tomato and capsicum and appears to be the first confirmed subgroup IB strain reported in Australia. Based on pair-wise distance analysis and phylogeny of RNA 3, as well as mild disease symptoms on Nicotiana species, CMV 241 was assigned to subgroup II, as the previously described Q-CMV and LY-CMV.
<p>ABSTRAK<br />Daerah pengembangan kapas di Indonesia umumnya lahan kering<br />dengan keterbatasan air. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan galur-<br />galur kapas toleran kekeringan menggunakan PEG-6000 pada fase<br />kecambah. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Pengujian Benih Balai<br />Penelitian Tanaman Pemanis dan Serat, mulai bulan April sampai Juni<br />2012. Perlakuan disusun dalam rancangan Petak Terbagi dan diulang dua<br />kali. Petak utama adalah perlakuan PEG-6000 (-3 bar) dan tanpa PEG-<br />6000 (air), sedangkan anak petak adalah 13 galur kapas dan varietas<br />Kanesia 14. Setiap perlakuan terdiri dari lima pot masing-masing ditanam<br />sepuluh biji. Benih kapas dicampur dengan fungisida Mancozeb 80% 2<br />g/kg benih sebelum ditanam. Parameter pengamatan meliputi daya<br />berkecambah, panjang kecambah dan akar, bobot kecambah dan akar,<br />rasio panjang akar/kecambah, serta indeks kerentanan terhadap<br />kekeringan. Kecambah dihitung sebagai kecambah normal jika panjang<br />lebih dari 0,5 cm. Perlakuan PEG-6000 berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap<br />penurunan daya berkecambah, panjang kecambah dan akar, serta bobot<br />kecambah dan akar. Sebaliknya, rasio panjang akar/kecambah lebih tinggi<br />pada perlakuan PEG-6000 dibandingkan dengan perlakuan tanpa PEG-<br />6000. Respon ketahanan galur kapas yang dihitung dengan indeks<br />kerentanan kekeringan berbeda pada masing-masing parameter yang<br />diamati. Dari nilai rata-rata indeks kerentanan kekeringan semua<br />parameter, tidak ada galur yang tahan terhadap kekeringan (S<0,50).<br />Terdapat delapan galur yang agak tahan kekeringan (0,50<S<1,0) dan<br />lebih tahan dibandingkan dengan Kanesia 14, yaitu 03002/12, 03006/1,<br />03008/7, 03008/24, 03012/17, 03014/12, 03017/13, dan 03017/15.<br />Kata kunci: Gossypium hirsutum L., tahan kekeringan, PEG-6000,<br />perkecambahan, galur</p><p>ABSTRACT<br />Cotton production areas in Indonesia are arable land with lack of water<br />availability. The aim of this study was to obtain cotton lines tolerant to<br />drought using PEG-6000 at germination stage. The experiment was<br />conducted at the Seed Testing Laboratory in Indonesian Sweetener and<br />Fiber Crops Research Institute, from April to June 2012. Treatments were<br />arranged in a Split Plots design with two replications. The main plot was<br />PEG-6000 (-3 bar) and without PEG-6000 (water), while the subplot was<br />13 cotton lines and Kanesia 14 variety. Seed cotton was treated with 80%<br />Mancozeb fungicide dose of 2g/kg seed before sowing. Parameters<br />observed were germination percentage, shoot and root length, shoot and<br />root weight, ratio of root/shoot length, and drought susceptibility index.<br />Seedling was counted as normal if its length more than 0.5 cm. PEG-6000<br />treatment gives very significant effect on the decline on seed germination,<br />shoot and root length, shoot and root weight. Otherwise, ratio of root/shoot<br />length was higher in the PEG-6000 than without PEG-6000 treatment.<br />Response of cotton lines to drought which calculated with a drought<br />susceptibility index were different among parameter observed. Mean<br />drought susceptibility index of all parameters showed that none of cotton<br />line tolerant to drought (S < 0,50) was achieved from the study. There<br />were eight moderately drought-resistant lines (0, 50 < S < 1,0) achieved<br />namely 03002/12, 03006/1, 03008/7, 03008/24, 03012/17, 03014/12,<br />03017/13, and 03017/15 which more resistance than Kanesia 14.<br />Key words: Gossypium hirsutum L., drought tolerant, PEG-6000,<br />germination, lines</p>

Paramater yang diamati adalah jumlah bulu daun, telur dan<br />nimfa pada 1 cm2 luas daun, serta jumlah imago B. tabaci pada daun<br />ketiga dari atas tanaman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerapatan<br />bulu daun berkorelasi positif dengan kolonisasi B. tabaci (R=0,9701).<br />Semakin tinggi kerapatan bulu daun, semakin meningkat kolonisasi B.<br />tabaci. Kolonisasi B. tabaci lebih tinggi pada CTX-1, CTX-8, Kanesia 8,<br />dan KK-3 (150-250 individu/cm 2 luas daun) karena tingkat kerapatan bulu<br />daun juga lebih tinggi (150-300 helai/cm 2 luas daun) dibanding TAMCOT<br />SP 21, DP Acala 90, 619-998xLGS-10-77-3-1, Asembagus 5/A/1, Acala<br />1517, A/35 Reba P 279, dan Kanesia 1 yang memiliki kerapatan bulu daun<br />(0-100 helai/cm 2 luas daun) dan tingkat kolonisasi B. tabaci (<100<br />individu/cm 2 luas daun) lebih rendah.<br />Kata kunci : Kapas, Gossypium hirsutum, plasma nutfah, hama, Bemisia<br />tabaci, trichom, kolonisasi, Jawa Timur</p><p><br />ABSTRACT<br />Role of trichome density of cotton leaf to colonization of<br />Bemisia tabaci Gennadius<br />Trichome-based host plant resistance offers the potential to reduce<br />chemical insecticides used in insect pest control. Cotton whitefly, Bemisia<br />tabaci can be controlled by using resistant variety based on trichome<br />density as plant morphological characteristics. The study on the role of<br />trichome density of cotton accessions on the colonization of B. tabaci was<br />carried out at Pasirian Experimental Station at Lumajang, and at<br />Entomology Laboratory of Indonesian Tobacco and Fiber Crops Research<br />Institute (IToFCRI ) in Malang from April to July 2005. Treatments<br />included 11 cotton accessions, viz.

The experiment was<br />arranged in completely randomized design with ten replications.<br />Parameters observed were trichome density, number of eggs and nymphs<br />on one cm2 of leaf and adult of B. tabaci on 3rd highest leaf of cotton<br />plant. The result showed that trichome density was positively correlated<br />with B. tabaci colonization (R=0,9701) in which higher trichome density<br />of cotton leaf has resulted in great colonization of B. tabaci. Bemisia<br />tabaci colonisation was higher on CTX-1, CTX-8, Kanesia 8, and KK-3<br />(150-250 individu/cm2 of leaf) due to dense trichome (150-300<br />trichomes/cm2 leaf) as compared with other accessions, viz. TAMCOT<br />SP 21, DP Acala 90, 619-998xLGS-10-77-3-1, Asembagus 5/A/1, Acala<br />1517, A/35 Reba P 279, and Kanesia 1 which showed less density of leaf<br />trichome (0-100 trichomes/cm2 of leaf) and B. tabaci colonization (< 100<br />individu/cm2 of leaf).<br />Key words : Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum, cotton accession, pest,<br />Bemisia tabaci, trichome, colonization</p>

The research aims to obtain the best method of pollination in improvement of Salak dwarf coconut productivity by calculating the heritability of thirteen vegetative and generative characters. Twelve characters attributed to the production of fruits were investigated. The research was arranged in a randomized block design with three pollination system as the treatments, four replications, conducted at the Paniki Experimental Garden, North Sulawesi, from 2011 until 2014. Treatments consisted of self-pollination system (full sib), controlled pollination system (half sib) and open pollination system. Thirteen characters measured were stem height, girth of stem, number of leaf scars, number of leaves, leaf length, petiole length, number of leaflets, length of leaflet, number of bunches, number of spikelet, number of female flowers, day of flowering, and number of fruit per bunch. Analysis of heritability using the formula of Singh and Chaudary. Path coefficient analysis using matrix model by Shing and Chaudary. Salak dwarf coconut with self-pollination system has better effect of rate of flowering (34.74 month), and height of stem (51.75 cm) compared to the salak dwarf coconut with controlled pollination (rate of flowering 35.99 months; height of stem 52.51 cm) and Salak dwarf coconut with open pollination (rate flowering 36 months; height of stem 56.76 cm). To improve the productivity of Salak dwarf coconut, the best method of pollination is self-pollinated. Heritability value on self-pollinate of Salak dwarf coconut which correlates directly with the character of yield was the height of stem (r =0.383; h2=84.0%), the number of leafscars (r =0.442; h2=63.0%), and the number of female flowers (r =0344; h2=75.0%). The best method to increase the productivity of Salak dwarf coconut through self pollination since it has high heritability values and correlates directly with the character of yield.</p>Keywords : Heritability, coefficient of path analysis, pollination systems, salak dwarf coconut.
Spores of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi contain thousands of nuclei. In order to understand the karyotic structure of a VAM fungus spore, the genetic variation of the first generation of spores from a VAM fungus (Gigaspora margarita) was examined. Spores originating from both single-and multispore inoculations of the species G. margarita were analyzed by M13 minisatellite-primed PCR. In both cases, different fingerprints were obtained from individual spores with few spores exhibiting similar fingerprints. These results can be explained only by a heterokaryotic status of the nuclear population within a spore.
Pendekatan teknologi hibrida menawarkan perbaikan tingkat produktivitas, ketahanan terhadap hamadan kekeringan, serta mutu serat melalui pemanfaatan gen-gen dari kedua tetua potensial. Dalammemproduksi benih varietas kapas hibrida dapat ditempuh dengan dua cara, yaitu secara konvensionaldan dengan me-manfaatkan sifat jantan mandul. Penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi sumberdaya genetik kapas untuk karakter restorer atau kemampuan merestorasi fertilitas pada F1 dilaksanakan diMalang (untuk kegiatan persilangan), dan Bojonegoro (untuk pengujian F1 hasil persilangan) pada tahun2010 dan 2011. Persilangan dilakukan antara galur mandul jantan 06050 BC3/15 X K7 (BC4) sebagai tetuabetina, dengan masing-masing 60 aksesi kapas sebagai tetua jantan pada tahun 2010 dan 2011. F1 hasilpersilangan untuk mendapatkan restorer ditanam di Bojonegoro dalam rancangan acak kelompok diulang2 kali dengan luas masing-masing plot adalah 2 m x 5 m. Pengamatan meliputi persentase fertilitas dari F1,komponen hasil, dan hasil kapas berbiji. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa selama dua tahun pengujiandiperoleh sebelas aksesi kapas yang mampu merestorasi karakter mandul jantan, yaitu 9442, SHR, KPX22, CTX 5, CTX 7, CTX 4, CTX 2, CTX 6, 9445, 9446, dan NFBL 3, namun hanya dua aksesi yang stabilmenunjukkan potensi merestorasi karakter mandul jantan, yaitu SHR dan KPX 22. Produktivitas tertinggidicapai oleh hasil persilangan dengan aksesi SHR, yaitu tetua jantan dengan potensi restorasi 100% yanggalurnya mampu menghasilkan 1.457,5 kg kapas berbiji/ha. Dengan demikian SHR merupakan aksesi yangcukup prospektif untuk digunakan sebagai salah satu tetua jantan dalam perakitan kapas hibrida nasional.
