“…Examination of morphological characterization within genotypes showed a wide variation of genotypes in terms of morphological characteristics (plant, flower, fruit, leaf). In many studies of Cucurbitaceae family, it has been emphasized that diversity is high in terms of morphologic characteristics 40 – 43 . In a similar study by 8 , it has been determined that pumpkin genotypes showed high diversity in terms of fruit characteristics 44 have showed that major color of the skin was yellow in 21 (24%) pumpkin genotypes green in 2 (2%), green-yellow grayish in 15 (18%), dark yellow -green grayish in 22 (27%), light yellow in 17 (21%) and dark yellow in 4 (5%).…”

Plant genetic resources constitute the most valuable assets of countries. It is of great importance to determine the genetic variation among these resources and to use the data in breeding studies. To determine the genetic diversity among genotypes of Cucurbita pepo L. species of pumpkin, which is widely grown in Erzincan, 29 different pumpkin genotypes collected were examined based on the morphological parameters and molecular characteristics. SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers were used to determine genetic diversity at the molecular level. The analysis of morphological characterization within genotypes showed a wide variability in morphological traits of plant, flower, fruit, and leaf. In the evaluation performed using SSR markers, all primers exhibited polymorphism rate of %100. Seven SSR markers yielded a total of 15 polymorphic bands, the number of alleles per marker ranged from 2 to 3, and the mean number of alleles was 2.14. Polymorphic information content (PIC) ranged from 0.06 (GMT-M61) to 0.247 (GMT-P41), and the mean PIC value per marker was 0.152. Cluster analysis using Nei's genetic distance determined that 29 genotypes were divided into 4 major groups. The present findings have revealed the genetic diversity among pumpkin genotypes collected from Erzincan province and may form the basis for further breeding studies in pumpkin.

“…(Nikmah et al 2020) and Cucumis sp. (Pratami et al 2019). So far, the most popular salak in the market is salak with white arillus especially in species Salacca zalacca, while red arillus is thought to have many properties and is useful for humans (Yuliamita 2014;Saleh et al 2018;Fendiyanto et al 2020).…”

“…In the same species but having two different kinds of characteristics, it can be said that these characters are included in the subspecies distinguishing features. Determination of subspecies differentiating features can be supported by morphological, anatomical, molecular, or metabolite approaches (Yuliamita 2014;Harahap and Ardiarini 2018;Zhang et al 2018;Pratami et al 2019;Satrio et al 2019;Nikmah et al 2020;Fendiyanto et al 2020). Determining the distinguishing features of the arillus in S. sumatrana has its challenges due to different physiological factors.…”

Abstract. Fendiyanto MH, Satrio RD, Widana IDKK, Pratami MP, Nikmah IA, Darmadi D. 2021. Differential hierarchical metabolites expression of red/white Salacca sumatrana Arillus and its molecular docking studies. Biodiversitas 22: 1014-1024. Salak Sidempuan (Salacca sumatrana) is one of the medicinal plants originating from tropical countries. However, there is very little research on the study of finding bioactive compounds in S. sumatrana using the metabolomic approach. Here, we use two population types of S. sumatrana, e.g., fruit with red and white arillus. We extracted the compounds from the two tissues using the GC-MS technique and further analyzed their antiviral potential using an in-silico molecular docking technique. Fold change analysis showed that in white arillus there were 21 upregulated compounds and 25 downregulated compounds. Metabolites that have high expression in white arillus tissue are ranxinic acid, nicotinic alcohol, stearic acid, 2-furan carboxaldehyde, and others. Six accessions from S. sumatrana based on PCA analysis and separate dendrogram according to the type of arillus, i.e., red and white arillus. Two compounds that act as antivirals found in this study are stearic acid and palmitic acid based on preliminary molecular docking studies. These two compounds could be used for further studies as a preventive measure against SARS-Cov-2 in the future, however, it needs further comprehensive and clinical analysis the future. In conclusion, metabolites in white arillus were distinctly different from red arillus of Snake fruits. In addition, studies on differential metabolite expression on two types of arillus (red/white) can be used as markers in identifying arillus color early by plant breeders.

“…The secondary metabolites in C. hirta can investigate narrowly down to understand the mechanism of the interaction between their extract and growth of microbes, especially using biological markers. Biological marker in some species can be divided into several markers, i.e., morphological (Pratami et al 2019), genetic (Satrio et al 2019;Pratami et al 2020;Miftahudin et al 2021), physiological (Andriyanto and Fendiyanto 2019;Miftahudin et al 2021), and metabolite markers Fendiyanto et al 2021).…”

Abstract. Pratami MP, Fendiyanto MH, Satrio RD, Widana IDKK, Nikmah IA, Sari NIP, Awwanah M, Farah N, Darmadi D. 2021. Potential of invasive alien species Clidemia hirta as antibacterial against Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus. Biodiversitas 22: 3363-3369. Clidemia hirta D. Don is an invasive alien species (IAS) that is a threat to biodiversity in tropical country particularly Indonesia, and remains underutilized to date. Conversely, prevalence of typhus in Indonesia is generally higher every year. Thus, the aim of this study was to detect phytochemicals in ethanolic and aqueous extracts of C. hirta and their antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus. The research methods included sample identification, generating the simplicia, determination of water content, extraction, phytochemical screening tests, and antibacterial activity tests. Identification was made based on morphological characteristics. The water content in the dried powder of simplicia was 12.26 ± 0.39%. Phytochemical results showed that 70% ethanol extract of C. hirta contained flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and triterpenoids compounds. In addition, aqueous extract of C. hirta showed positive results on flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids tests. Antibacterial activity results showed that ethanolic extracts of C. hirta inhibited S. typhi and S. aureus at all concentrations, while aqueous extract inhibited bacterial growth in only 12.5% ??and 25% concentrations. These findings indicate that C. hirta has antibacterial activity that inhibits S. typhi and S. aureus. This information can be used for adding preliminary data to metabolite interest researchers, i.e., biologists and biotechnologists in the future.
