The purpose of this study was to determine the genetic diversity with similarity analysis of the ramie plant collection of Experimental Farm, Agricultural Faculty of Andalas University. This research was conducted employing morphological and molecular characterization. Morphological characterization of the ramie plant is done by observing the character 17 qualitative and 15 quantitative characters ramie plant. While the molecular characterization using RAPD markers (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) with ten primers. The results of morphological characters, which serve as distinguishing characteristics of the five clones, is the color of the leaf. The results of the qualitative character of phenotypic variance analysis of variability obtained plants with broad criteria contained in the 4-character observation (the color of the leaf petiole, the leaf color, flower color, and female sex flowers). Similarity analysis based on morphological characters is qualitatively classified into two groups with the degree of similarity coefficient from 0.34 to 0.75. Similarity analysis of qualitative and quantitative combined data grouped into two groups with the degree of similarity coefficient from 0.02 to 0.20. The similarity analysis based on molecular characters is grouped into two groups with a similarity coefficient level of 0.27 to 0.75.

“…Bananas are an important crop cultivated worldwide in the tropics and subtropics, where more than 106 million tons of fruits are produced every year to meet the increasing world demand [30,31]. The peduncles which represent ca 13% of the biomass are separated from the cluster and discarded as organic waste [32]. Some studies have used peduncles as a raw organic material for paper production [33], fiber boards, compost, agricultural fertilizers [34], an additive for burger preparations [35], and bioethanol production [32].…”

Lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural residues is a promising feedstock for lactic acid (LA) production. The aim of the current study was to investigate the production of LA from different lignocellulosic biomass. The LA production from banana peduncles using strain Bacillus coagulans with yeast extract resulted in 26.6 g LA·L−1, and yield of 0.90 g LA·g−1 sugars. The sugarcane fermentation with yeast extract resulted in 46.5 g LA·L−1, and yield of 0.88 g LA·g−1 sugars. Carob showed that addition of yeast extract resulted in higher productivity of 3.2 g LA·L−1·h−1 compared to without yeast extract where1.95 g LA·L−1·h−1 was obtained. Interestingly, similar LA production was obtained by the end where 54.8 and 51.4 g·L−1 were obtained with and without yeast extract, respectively. A pilot scale of 35 L using carob biomass fermentation without yeast extract resulted in yield of 0.84 g LA·g−1 sugars, and productivity of 2.30 g LA·L−1·h−1 which indicate a very promising process for future industrial production of LA.

The present research was conducted on five clones of ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.Gaud.) found in West Sumatra and several other clones from Java. The research objective was to compare the growth, the number of fibers per bundles, length and the time until fibers are matured enough for harvesting. The ramie planting was done in Andalas University's Padang experimental field station from June to October 2016. Microscopic investigation and fiber analysis were carried out in the laboratory The clones investigated were Bandung A, Indochina, Lembang A, Padang 3, and Ramindo. The numbers of fibers per fiber bundle were highest in the Ramindo clone at 69 cell/bundle and the least in Bandung A clone at 40 cell/bundle. The type of fiber was 48% type I, 36% type II and 16% type III. The patterns of fiber-shape in each fiber bundle from the cambium to the outside increases in diameter with the centre being dominantly type I, the middle region type II, and the outer region type III. The length of fiber found in the present study (longest 70 mm) is shorter than in previous reports. Length, diameter, and thickness of cell wall of clone ramie fiber cells grew at similar rates throughout the maturation process. Fastest fiber growth was obtained from Padang 3 clones at 132 μm/day, while the slowest was in Ramindo clones at 48 μm/day. The fastest fiber growth for all clones occurred at 2-3 weeks of age. Based on fiber growth, Padang clones should be harvested after six weeks, clones of Indochina, Lembang A, and Ramindo harvested after eight weeks and Lembang A clone after the eighth week. This is sooner than harvesting based on morphological characteristics, which would be between the age of 10-11 weeks. The clones of Padang A were considered superior to the other clones.
