Analysis of flowering gene in palm oil (Elaeis guineensis)
Faizal I, Emdi A. 2017. Analysis of flowering gene in palm oil (Elaeis guineensis). Asian J Agric 1: 53-58. Palm oil has always been an important commodity in Indonesia. The most common species is palm oil, Elaeis guineensis. Palm oil is a monoecious plant with a tendency to be a temporal dioecious. Female flower will be the one that produces palm oil fruit, that later is treated with palm oil while male flower only takes part in the fertilization process. In order to know the ratio between female and male flower tree in a plantation, this study was performed to detect a distinction between female and male flowering gene sequences from DNA sample of E. guineensis. Based on previous study which managed to characterize MADS-box gene of palm oil, a primer was designed and named GmG (Globosa-male-Gaps). The result shows that the primer has the ability to differentiate DNA sequence female and male flower of E.guineensis, Palm oil. However, further studies with full sequence and more samples are needed to find distinctive results between female and male flower sequences as the GmG primer could be used to design a specific marker or primer to detect the presence of female or male flower within a tree.</jats:p

Pelaksanaan embarkasi dan debarkasi yang cepat dan aman serta lancar
merupakan tujuan utama para penumpang. Upaya tersebut di maksudkan agar kapal
dan muatan serta keselamatan para penumpang bisa terjamin saat proses embarkasi
dan debarkasi. Proses embarkasi dan debarkasi yang terjadi di kapal KM.
DOBONSOLO sewaktu di pelabuhan Tanjung Perak Surabaya adalah kurang
efisiennya manajemen untuk mengatur penumpang yang akan naik dan turun, serta
kurangnya fasilitas yang memadai di terminal pelabuhan.Sehingga para penumpang
saling berdesakkan dan dapat mengakibatkan atau membahayakan jiwa para
penumpang tersebut. Sedangkan PT. PELNI sebagai penyedia sarana transportasi
pun tidak meningkatkan pelayanan–pelayanan diatas kapal, bahkan terkesan hanya
mencari keuntungan tanpa memperdulikan kualitas pelayanan.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah penulis lakukan, menunjukkan
beberapa faktor-faktor yang menghambat jalannya proses embarkasi dan debarkasi
penumpang. Faktor-faktor tersebut adalah maraknya pedagang asongan dan tidak
tertibnya buruh-buruh bagasi dalam pengangkutan barang milik
penumpang,merebaknya pengantar dan pengunjung yang tidak mengindahkan
peraturan serta pengumuman yang telah dilakukan oleh pihak kapal sehingga
terkadang mereka terbawa dalam pelayaran yang sering disebut Penumpang Tanpa
Tiket (PTT), faktor yang lain adalah keterlambatan kapal sewaktu tiba di pelabuhan
tujuan, faktor terakhir adalah barang bawaan penumpang yang berlebih (Over
Baggage).
Adapun upaya yang dilakukan oleh pihak kapal dan petugas darat adalah
dengan meningkatkan kerja sama yang baik antara petugas darat dan petugas kapal
sehingga dapat mendukung kelancaran proses embarkasi dan debarkasi.

The fast and safe and smooth implementation of embarkation and
debarkation is the main goal of the passengers. The effort is intended so that the
ship and cargo and the safety of passengers can be guaranteed during the
embarkation and debarkation process. The process of embarkation and debarkation
that occurs on KM ships. DOBONSOLO while at the port of Tanjung Perak
Surabaya was management inefficient to regulate passengers who were going up
and down, as well as the lack of adequate facilities at the port terminal. So that
passengers crowded together and could cause or endanger the lives of these
passengers. Whereas PT. PELNI as a means of transportation also does not improve
services on board, even seems to only seek profits regardless of service quality.
Based on the results of the research that the author has done, it shows several
factors that hinder the process of embarkation and debarkation of passengers. These
factors are the rise of hawkers and the disorderly practice of baggage workers in
transporting passenger property, widespread outreach and visitors who do not heed
the rules and announcements made by the ship so that sometimes they are carried
on a cruise which is often called a Passenger Without Tickets ( PTT), another factor
is the delay of the ship when it arrives at the destination port, the last factor is excess
baggage (Over Baggage).The efforts made by the ship and land officers are to increase good
cooperation between land officials and ship officers so that they can support the
smooth process of embarkation and debarkation

Brakes are systems used to control, slow down and stop wheel rotation. Failures in the braking system have a very fatal impact on the driver and other drivers. Because it is very important from the function of the vehicle brake system, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the braking power needed so that the brake system can work perfectly and stop according to the standard braking distance. The purpose of this study is to be able to determine the amount of braking power required for the disc brake type on the blue Geni 3-wheeled E-Commerce electric motor to be able to stop the vehicle perfectly. The test method that will be used is to test the braking road with a vehicle variation speed of 20 Km / h, 30 Km / h and 40 Km / h with a maximum vehicle stop distance of 25 meters. From the results of theoretical calculations and tests on vehicleS E- obtained the results of the braking power required at a speed of 20 Km / h of 3786.97 J / s with a vehicle stop distance of 7.4 meters and a braking force of 1371 N, at a speed of 30 Km / h braking power of 7563.79 J / s with a stopping distance of 12.26 meters and a braking force of 1820 N, at a speed of 40 Km / h The braking power is 11118.25 J/s with a vehicle stop distance of 19.8 meters and a braking force of 2021.5
Identification of MADS-box Gene in Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)
The bunch size represented by the fruit number is the main parameter of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) yield. The fruit number, which is determined during the initial phase of development, is related to various factors, including the genetic properties of the trees. Trees that have more pistillate flowers have more fruit. The diversity of MADS-box genes assumed can be used as a marker for trees that have a higher number of pistillate flowers. Therefore, the aims of this research were to isolate and identify the MADS-box genes from flowers of tenera oil palm using PCR techniques. The SQUAMOSA (SQUA) gene and the GLOBOSA (GLO) gene are members of the MADS-box genes family that are responsible for sepal, petal and stamen organ development. The genomic DNA of the staminate flowers of trees that have more staminate flowers (P1) and the genomic DNA of the pistillate flowers of trees that have more pistillate flowers (P2) were isolated using the CTAB+ PVP method. The CTAB+PVP method was more efficient for isolating pistillate flower genomic DNA than staminate flower genomic DNA. The genomic DNA of P1 and P2 was amplified with two primers: BMS and BMG. The BMS primers gave a PCR product size of 1250 bp for the genomic DNA of P1 and P2. Meanwhile, the BMG primers gave a PCR product size of 1250 bp and 1300 bp for P1 and P2, respectively. The PCR products were sequenced and analyzed for homology using the GenBank database. BLAST analysis showed the PCR products have high homology with the SQUA1 gene and the GLO2 gene. Alignment analysis showed that the DNA fragments amplified with the BMS primers of the P1 and P2 sequences have variations in the exons and introns, and the variations were observed only in the introns of the DNA fragments amplified with the BMG primers
