In Indonesia, Porang is cultivated extensively because it has a high economic value. There is three seeded material available for planting. One of seeded material is bulbil. Bulbil is a vegetative reproductive organ of Porang plants which is located in the branch of the leaf. Bulbil has 3 - 4 months dormancy period. The dormancy period will end with shoot growth. Morphologically, there can be found a rough structure in the form of bulges in bulbil. The bulge is spread throughout the bulbil surface and is a growing area of shoots. Shoots on bulbil will grow through the bulge and only grow on the adaxial part, contrary shoots do not grow from the abaxial part. This study aims to compare the anatomy of shoot apical meristem (SAM) in the adaxial and abaxial parts of bulbil at the end of the dormancy period, ie 100 days after harvest (DAH), 110 DAH, 120 DAH, and 130 DAH. Anatomical observations were carried out by making semi-permanent preparations. The results showed that the anatomy of the adaxial and abaxial parts of bulbil Porang had differences in the development of SAM, leaf primordia, primary thickening meristem (PTM) and procambium.

Four simultaneous genes composing two mitochondrial genes (16S rRNA & ND4) and two nuclear genes (7IβFIB & 3ITBP) have been successfully amplified and sequenced. Bayesian inference was performed to reconstruct the phylogeny tree. Furthermore, time divergence and the population demography analyses were estimated. The phylogeny tree of C. insularis exhibits monophyletic group, with four geographically structured lineages. The time divergence estimation indicated that C. insularis evolved at approximately 7 million years ago (mya). Population demography was inferred by Bayesian Skyline Plot analysis, it shows that the population increased constantly from the past to recent time. The evolutionary history of C. insularis can be explained by a pattern of the time divergences estimation that indicating movement from West (Java) to East (Lesser Sunda). We expected that the dispersal factor of C. insularis into many different islands (in Lesser Sunda) is caused by the animal helped and also oceanic rafting which could be the stepping stones to another island.","PeriodicalId":177289,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Experimental Life Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130678529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Longtime storage can decrease the quality of tubers. Furthermore, the presence of fungi or bacteria makes tubers cannot be stored in a long time. Decreasing quality of Porang tuber became a problem because of the higher demand for porang tubers. This research was conducted to determine the suitable place and time storage of porang tubers. Therefore, farmers can control or reduce the decrease in tuber quality. Methods of this research were an observation of color change based on the Munsell Color System , odor observation, hardness observation using penetrometer, the rotten area of tuber was measured using Leaf Area Meter, shrinkage of tuber weight, the percentage of rotten and sprouted tubers, density, and moisture content by the oven method. The results of this study were analysed statistically by ANOVA test. The hardness of the tubers has a significant effect on the storage place (soil, rack, and floor) for period 14 weeks. Storage time has an effect on changes of the weight loss, moisture content and decay area. The longer the tuber stored the higher percentage of sprouted and rotten tubers. The color of porang tubers change and the odor in the part of the rotten tubers increase during the storage period in each storage place.

A caudal fin was taken on the test fish and preserved in 95% ethanol solution for molecular identification.
