They were then photographed, prepared for herbarium, described and score…
Syzygium cumini L. Skeels or Duwet (Java plum) is a plant that belong to the Myrtaceae family. Duwet plants contain secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, and contain essential oil. The content of secondary metabolites in duwet leaves has great potential to be used as medicine. Identification of metabolites at the tissue level, synthesis sites or storage sites for pharmacologic…
Several research results stated that some students often experienced conceptions that tended to be wrong on the concepts of Photosynthesis and Plant Respiration. This concept is the most important concept in studies in biology because this concept studies the transfer of energy and matter in an ecosystem. Conception that tends to be wrong or a concept that is different from scientific agreement…
The 21st century is characterized by the rapid development of communication and information technology. This development affects various areas of people's lives, one of which is the field of education such as the implementation of distance learning. The global pandemic caused by Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) caused distance learning to be implemented. Kemendikbud suggested opening an educ…
ABSTRACT The characteristic of stomata plays pivotal role in taxonomic studies of higher plant group, including Fabaceae members. The species of this family are grown in University of Riau area as cover crops. Stomatal study of Fabaceae species in this area have never been reported. This study aims to characterize stomata of Fabaceae species from University of Riau area. Specimens were collect…

ABSTRACT The diversity of mangoes in Indonesia is one of the important assets of germplasm sources that need to be maintained. Diversity analysis is done to determine genetic resources. Exploration of mango cultivars in the archipelago, especially Kundur Island has never been done. This research aims to explore, identify, characterize and analyze the diversity of Mango in Kundur Island bas…
ABSTRACK Aceh is one of the producing areas of salak cultivation type and wild type because it has a unique topography. Deforestation and land clearing in Aceh resulted in reduced salak habitat and salak wealth in Aceh. The lack of information about salak kinship in Aceh and taxonomic studies based on morphological character are difficult to do in salak, so a molecular approach is needed to fa…
