In order to improve the knowledge of the peanut species, thirty five cultivars from several different regions in Indonesia were collected and characterized agro-morphologically and chemically. A total of 25 descriptors, mainly defined by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics were used to describe the flowers, leaves and fruits obtained over 5 planting seasons (October 2010-February 2013). The study indicates that different growth seasons strongly affect the quantitative peanut parameters measured. A dendrogram, produced using the Furthest Neighbor Method (Euclidean) from agro-morphological and chemical parameters, afforded a clear separation between the peanut cultivars and revealed existing synonymies such as Gorontalo B and C and homonymies such as Kinali Merah and Putih. Some cultivars, such as Baturaja B, Rancabuaya, and Sumenep, exhibited an interesting combination of the high-yield (950 kg/ha), high content of omega-3 (3.42 g/100g) and omega-9 (38.11 g/100g) fatty acids, and resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum characters. Another two relevant cultivars related to chemical composition were Binjai and Sumedang. All these traditional cultivars can be used as a potential source of genetic

This study aims to observe the growth in the sprouting phase and to observe the sulforaphane content in the growth stages of broccoli sprouts treated with kinetin on MS media. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Biotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Sam Ratulangi University and the Laboratory of Department of Chemical Engineering, State of Malang. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 9 replications, nam ely without kinetin, 0.5 ppm kinetin, 1 ppm kinetin, 1.5 ppm kinetin. The variables observed were the time of sprout formation, sprout height, sprout weight, sulforaphane content. The results of this study showed that the sulforaphane content was not affected by the height and weight of the sprouts but the kinetin concentration, the higher the concentration given, the higher the sulforaphane content.

This study aims to characterize nutmeg in Sangihe based on the morphology of leaves and fruit. The research was carried out in the Sangihe Islands District from April to August 2019. The research was conducted in six sub-districts and two villages were selected as each research location. The six sub-districts with two villages per sub-district were Sub-district of Tabukan Selatan (Lesabe Village and Malamenggu Village), Sub-district of Kendahe (Kendahe 1 Village and Kendahe 2 Village), Sub-district of Manganitu (Taloarane Village and Bakalaeng Village), Sub-district of Tabukan Selatan Tengah (Hangke Village and Salurang Village), Sub-district of Tamako (Balane Village and Upel Village) Sub-district of Tahuna Barat (Pananekeng Village and Angges Village). Using the direct survey method in the farmers' nutmeg area. Next, the selection of nutmeg plants aged 15 years and above that has fruitful and healthy trees. After that the observations were made on the morphology of the selected nutmeg fruits and leaves. Variables observed were: leaf shape, leaf color, fruit shape, fruit skin color, fruit flesh color, mace color, fruit length, fruit diameter, seed fresh weight, seed length, seed diameter, mace fresh weight. The data obtained were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of the study showed that the shape of nutmeg on Sangihe Island consisted of round and long, the leaf shape consisted of elongated round and between long jorong and round leaves, the leaf color consisted of green and dark green, the shape of round and elliptic seeds, the color of red mace , white fruit flesh color, yellow fruit skin color, the highest average fresh fruit weight is in Balane Village (59.41 g), the highest average seed weight is in Malamenggu Village (9.90 g), average fresh weight the highest mace is found in Lesabe Village (1.73 g).*eprm*

<p>Kelapa merupakan tanaman serba guna, kelapa genjah sesuai dijadikan sebagai kelapa muda segar dan lebih  potensial disadap  niranya. Indonesia memiliki kondisi iklim yang unik, menyebabkan kekeringan. Kelapa genjah rentan terhadap kekurangan air, sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya mengatispiasi kekeringan. Salah satu upaya dalam menghadapi kekeringan dengan pemberian unsur kalium. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengetahui pengaruh dosis pemberian pupuk kalium terhadap respon pertumbuhan beberapa varietas kelapa genjah di pembibitan dalam menghadapi kekeringan. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Rumah Kaca Balai Penelitian Tanaman Palma (Balit Palma) di Mapanget, Sulawesi Utara. Penelitian dilaksanakan bulan Mei sampai November 2020. Menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) Faktorial yang terdiri dari dua faktor. Faktor pertama adalah  4 varietas kelapa genjah. Faktor kedua adalah  5 perlakuan dosis pupuk KCl. Hasil penelitian diperoleh pemberian dosis pupuk kalium 110 g KCl menunjukan kecenderungan lebih baik pada parameter pertambahan tinggi tanaman pada 1 dan 2 bulan kekeringan. Dosis pupuk kalium 165 g KCl (P3) menunjukan kecenderungan lebih baik pada parameter pertambahan diameter batang pada 2 bulan kekeringan dan volume akar. Perlakuan kalium tidak berpengaruh nyata pada pertambahan diameter batang pada 1 bulan kekeringan, penambahan jumlah daun pada 1 dan 2 bulan kekeringan, kandungan klorofil, berat kering tajuk, dan berat kering akar. Pada perlakuan Varietas kelapa genjah tidak terdapat perbedaan yang nyata antara varietas pada semua parameter pengamatan dan hanya berbeda nyata pada kandungan klorofil. </p>
