ABSTRACT Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) Belongs to the Rutaceae family commonly used for coocking spices and medical plant and has the potential to be developed in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Publication on aspects of cultivation is still limited, and generative propagation using seeds is still a problem because the seeds have low seed germination. This happen because th…
ABSTRACT The gene encoding 26S rRNA (26S ribosomal Ribonucleic acid) is part of a large sub-unit of structural ribosomal RNA from eukaryotic ribosomes and is included in the housekeeping gene group that can be used as an internal control in gene expression tests in plants. The aim of this study was to analyze the DNA sequences of 26S rRNA encoding in cocor bebek (Kalanchoe x laetivirens) f…
ABSTRACT Molecular identification can be done through a technique called DNA barcoding techniques. The noncoding DNA barcodes in plants are ITS and trnL-trnF intergenic spacer. The ITS region is an area in the nuclear genome that is commonly used in phylogenetic analysis at the species level, which can show the highest level of interspecies differences while the trnL-trnF intergenic spacer…
ABSTRACT DNA barcode is a short sequence that can be used in DNA barcoding. One of the DNA barcodes in plants is the ndhC_trnV intergenic spacer sequence. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the DNA barcode sequences in the ndhC_trnV intergenic spacer in two species of cocor bebek A and B in Pekanbaru, Riau. The research steps consisted of morphological observations, samp…
ABSTRACT Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a group of housekeeping genes and its expression in various abiotic stresses is constitutive and stable. Molecularly, gene expression analysis techniques require internal controls for basic cell regulation. This study aims to analyze the DNA sequences encoding GAPDH in cocor bebek (Kalanchoe x laetivirens). The research procedur…
ABSTRACT Cocor bebek is a plant of Crassulaceae family which has about 130 species around the world with various forms and it’s believed that some species don’t yet had a clear taxonomic status. The DNA barcoding is a technique that used short sequences of DNA to speed up and simplify the process of identifying living things. This study used DNA barcode rpl16 intron in two species of c…
ABSTRACT Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) production in Riau has been decreased every year, this causes low productivity of mungbean. One of the many ways to improve the plants genetic is radiation with gamma rays. Since 2013, evaluation and selection of strains up to the fifth generation has been carried out and shows an increase in the number of pods per plant compared to control plants. The …
Abstract: Knowledge about the development of learning with the practicum method is one of the initial assets of Biology Education students to become professional biology teachers. But in reality, there are still students who have not mastered the competencies related to practicum activities. Based on these problems, this study aims to produce an independent learning resource in the form of …
ABSTRACK Mangrove forest are coastal ecosystems that have both biotic and abiotic functions. This study aimed to determine the composition andstructure of mangrove plants in Apar Village, North Pariaman Sub-District, West Sumatera. This study used the survey method and the data was collected directly from the field and continued with data analysis. The results found 12 types of mangrove, …
This study aims to produce comic media based on science literacy on biodiversity lesson for high quality class X senior high school students. This research was conducted at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education Riau University, Public Senior High School 8 Pekanbaru and Public Senior High School 6 Pekanbaru in November-February 2021. The type of research used is Research and Develop…
This research was conducted to determine the variation of leaf anatomical structure of dicotyledonous plants and to produce a design of booklet teaching materials in class XI Biology learning on plant tissue structure and function. This research was conducted in the biology laboratory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Riau University using the paraffin method for the preparati…
The Quided Inquiry-based Science Practicum Guide has the potential to increase the motivation, activities, and learning outcomes of students because the Science Practicum Guide involves maximally all students' abilities to search for and investigate something systematically, critically, and logically so that students can formulate their own findings, giving freedom in looking for, processin…
Education is a need that must be fulfilled in the process of life.
