TL;DR: This paper reviewed the flavonoid characters of the Araceae s.l. (including the Lemnaceae).
Abstract: Flavonoids is one of the secondary metabolites and consists of two phenyl rings (A- and B-rings) connected by a three carbon bridge. Over 8000 kinds of flavonoids were reported from vascular plants and Bryophytes. This paper reviewed the flavonoid characters of the Araceae s.l. (including the Lemnaceae). Major flavonoids of the family were C-glycosylflavones with the exception for subfamilies Gymnostachydoideae and Orontioideae. Other flavonoid classes, i.e. anthocyanins, flavones, flavonols, flavan and proanthocyanidins, were reported in all subfamilies. Flavanone and C-glycosylflavanone were isolated from Spirodela polyrhiza and Anthurium binotii, respectively. However, dihydroflavonol, chalcone, dihydrochalcone, aurone, and isoflavonoids were not reported in the Araceae. Although Araceae s.l. is a large family consisting of ca. 3645 species and ca. 144 genera, flavonoids were surveyed only in 146 species of 48 genera, as far as known.

TL;DR: In this article, a study aimed to assess seed availability in nature and collect the available seeds in Selabintana Forest, Mt. Gede Pangrango National Park, West Java, to be stored in the long-term seed storage facility at Cibodas Botanic Garden.
Abstract: Many botanic gardens have been contributing to the achievement of Target 8 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) through seed banking of wild species. Cibodas Botanic Garden (CBG) seed bank as a part of Kew's Millenium Seed Bank Partnership has also been collecting and banking the seeds of Indonesian native plant species. The study aimed to assess seed availability in nature and collect the available seeds in Selabintana Forest, Mt. Gede Pangrango National Park, West Java, to be stored in the long-term seed storage facility at CBG seed bank. Targeted species for the seed collection were focused on the native trees species with orthodox or approximately-orthodox seeds based on the Seed Information Database (SID) list. Pre-collection assessment and sampling of individuals within a population were using random sampling. Forty seed-producing plant species were reported. Due to the limitation number of seeds in the field (less than 250 seeds), only 33 species were Buletin Kebun Raya Vol.23 No. 1, April 2020 [36–45] | 37 collected. Six species were found with a large quantity of seeds, i.e. Begonia isoptera Dryand. ex Sm., Begonia sp., Ficus fistulosa Reinw. ex Blume, Pinanga javana Blume, Saurauia pendula Blume, and Symplocos sp. Most seeds were collected at 1,100–1,200 m asl, in the forest area, as a tree life form, and majority of the seeds were predicted as desiccation-tolerant (orthodox). Two species, i.e. P. javana and S. cauliflora DC., were listed in IUCN Red List as threatened species. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that high-quality seed collections are needed to ensure the long-term seed conservation.

TL;DR: The result revealed that all examined samples had similar anatomical characters with previous study which been carried out on the family, genus or species level, indicating that some anatomical characters can be used as specific characteristics from family level to species level.
Abstract: Plant diversity can not only be seen morphologically, but it can also be distinguished anatomically. Anatomical characters can be used to support and strengthen the plant classification. This study aims to determine the anatomical character of the leaves which can be used as a taxonomic identifier at the level of taxa through species representation. A total of 15 species belonging to 12 Indonesian flowering plant families were examined using the paraffin method for the transversal section and HNO3 was used for the paradermal section. Some anatomical characters observed in this study can be used as family characteristics or even species characteristics. The result revealed that all examined samples had similar anatomical characters with previous study which been carried out on the family, genus or species level. These similar anatomical characters consist of one to several characteristic such as stomatal type, anticlinal cell wall, mesophyll tissue, and vascular bundle (petiole and midrib). These results indicate that some anatomical characters can be used as specific characteristics from family level to species level.

TL;DR: Research aimed to determine the effect of irradiation on Dendrobium discolor Lindl.
Abstract: Gamma ray irradiation is one of plant breeding methods for increasing genetic diversity. In previous irradiation research of Dendrobium discolor Lindl. has not determined a dosage of LD20-50 yet, which generated the highest mutant variations. Thus, further research was carried out by increasing irradiation dosage. Research aimed were to determine the effect of irradiation on Dendrobium discolor Lindl. protocorms using lethal doses LD20 and LD 50, and to obtain new potential mutant with specific morphological characters and better plant performance. The dosages of Gamma ray irradiation used 0, 15, 30 and 60 Gray (Gy). A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with six replicates was applied. The results showed that LD20 and LD50 values were 22,16 and 58,8 Gy. Gamma ray irradiation treatments of 15 Gy and 30 Gy dosages exhibited morphological changes in leaf shapes and more rosette in leaf arrangement. Consequently, these dosages ranged are recommended, particularly for this orchid species. Treatment of 60 Gy dosage caused entire explants died after 13 months irradiation, subsequent to the third subculture (MIV3).

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to reduce the length of segment stem using gamma irradiation in order to generate rosette leaf arrangement as a candidate of superior mutant produced.
Abstract: Grammatophyllum scriptum (L.) Blume or tiger orchid is one of Bogor Botanic Gardens’ collections which was collected from Sulawesi. Elongated stem of this species frequently occurred during in vitro propagation. Therefore, gamma irradiation was used in order to obtain mutation of protocorm. The aim of this study was to reduce the length of segment stem using gamma irradiation in order to generate rosette leaf arrangement as a candidate of superior mutant produced. Four doses of gamma irradiation were used viz. 0 Gy, 15 Gy, 30 Gy, and 45 Gy. Seeds were germinated in various modification media such as, modification of Knudson’C medium (KC and KCA), modification of VW medium, and modification of Hyponex medium. The result showed that VW modification medium gave best media for seeds germination. Subsequently, the protocorms growing in this medium were irradiated to create mutant. Based on data analysis showed that Lethal Dose 50 (LD 50) of protocorm G. scriptum was found in 43.46 Gy and for LD 20 was found in 20.9 Gy. Diverse stem morphology occurred in 15–30 Gy dose irradiation, meanwhile 45 Gy irradiation caused entire protocorms fail to recovery and finally dead.

TL;DR: In this paper, a transect method with an observation plot measuring 20x20 m with 50 m in the distance between plots was used to reveal private forest practices in Sambak Village, Kajoran District, Magelang Regency.
Abstract: The Private forest is a forest developed on land owned by the private and not in a forest area. The diversity of plants that make up private forests depends on the interests of each landowner. One of the sustainable private forest practices is in Sambak Village, Kajoran District, Magelang Regency. It can be seen from the high level of population participation in planting forest plants on their lands. However, there is little information about the constituent vegetation planted in private forest practice. Therefore, this research was conducted to reveal private forest practices in Sambak Village. In addition, the calculation of carbon stock in private forests is also carried out to reveal the role of private forests in carbon absorption. The data collection technique used the transect method with an observation plot measuring 20x20 m with 50 m in the distance between plots. The method of calculating carbon stock used a non-destructive method by estimating carbon stock based on tree diameter and height. The composition of the plants that make up the private forest vegetation consists of 24 species from 16 families. Sengon dominated the vegetation that makes up the private forest. These results were following the calculation of the highest importance value index achieved by Sengon (70,67), Mahoni (52,18), Kelapa (37,53), and Nangka (25,21). The total carbon stock calculation has amounted to 24,53 ton C/ha and CO2 absorption of 90,05 ton CO2/ha. The highest carbon stock in the private forest of Sambak Village was Pinus 10,22 ton C/ha.
