Authors. 2018. Genetic variability, heritability, correlation, and path analysis in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) undershading condition. Biodiversitas 19: 1527-1531. Information on genetic variability, heritability and character association betweenquantitative characters with yield are crucial in crop improvement. Eighteen genotypes of tomato were evaluated to study thequantitative genetic of yield and various yield attributing character under shading condition at Pasir Kuda Station, Bogor AgricultureUniversity, West Java, Indonesia from August 2016 until January 2017. The result showed that plant height, dichotomous height, fruitweight, fruit length, fruit diameter, number of fruit per plant, and the fruit set had broad genetic variability and high heritability.Characters with broad genetic variability and high heritability can be used as sources in shading tolerance tomato improvement. Fruitweight and fruit number per plant had significant positive correlation coefficient and direct positive effect on fruit yield per plant. It is,therefore, recommended that

Abstract. Khumaida N, Syukur M, Bintang M, Nurcholis W. 2019. Phenolic and flavonoid content in ethanol extract and agro-morphological diversity of Curcuma aeruginosa accessions growing in West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 656-663. Curcuma aeruginosa is a rhizomatous medicinal plant with beneficial pharmacological activities. The aim of this work was to analyze the agro-morphological, extract yield, and phenolic content of ten C. aeruginosa accessions which were collected from different locations in Indonesia. Cultivation was carried out in the open field in West Java of Indonesia using a completely randomized design. Qualitative and quantitative parameters were used to investigate agro-morphological traits. Total phenolic and total flavonoids contents were determined in ethanol extracts of samples. The plants were phenotypically diverse, in which there were significant variations among the ten C. aeruginosa accessions in number of leaves, plant height, number of shoots, fresh weight of rhizome, and dry weight of rhizome characters. Variability in the total phenolic and total flavonoid contents ranged from 29.08-46.92 mg GAE/g, and 21.31-33.81 mg QE/g, respectively. Six accessions had high phenolic content and extract yield. Therefore, these accessions could be utilized for commercial scale and also showed a high potency for medicinal plant breeding programs.
