The new data dealing with the diversity and ecology of scaly tree ferns of Mount Salak, Java, Indonesia, are presented. A total of 1387 adult individuals belonging to seven species included in two genera were recorded at the elevation range of 1100-1450 m within an area of 4.5 ha. Alsophila oinops (Hassk.) R.M.Tryon, Alsophila sp., and Sphaeropteris persquamulifera (Alderw.) R.M.Tryon were rare species. Alsophila junghuhniana Kunze and A. polycarpa (Jungh.) R.M.Tryon were found to be abundant in this area. Sphaeropteris glauca (Blume) R.M.Tryon, and S. squamulata (Blume) R.M.Tryon were included as common species. The finding of A. oinops on Mount Salak at 1200-1300 m asl. is a new ecological record for the Malesian region. Some species were found in relatively the same habitat characteristics but differed in their need for light intensity. Scaly tree ferns were found to show varied distribution patterns. Bangladesh J.

The present study was conducted in a factorial (3 legume species×3 inoculants×5 mixtures) arrangement design. Results showed that effects of legume species on ADF, crude ash, pH, lactic acid bacteria, enterobacteria, yeast and mold, lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid and ammonia nitrogen were significant (P < 0.05).

In the present study 18 different rice germplasms for their cell membrane injury (CMI), cell membrane stability (CMS), ATPase activity and their relevance to seed germination and seedling growth tolerance index (TI) under abiotic stresses like salinity and low Ψw were investigated. At least 12 germplasms had relatively low membrane injury (< 10%) and consequently high membrane stability (> 90) including TM-1-5, Sadachikon, SR x P 5222, BR 23, Pokkali, Nonabokra, etc. indicating a relationship between stress tolerance and CMS. ATPase activities in some of these rice germplasms were high along with CMS related to stress tolerance. The TI of seed germinations and seedling growth of different germplasms under salinity stress were affected in different degrees and decreased more under high intensities. At 0.l Molal NaCl all germplasms had ≤ 80% TI of seed germination, at 0.2 Molal NaCl only three had ≥ 80% TI and ten had ≥ 50% TI and at 0.3 Molal NaC1, only nine had ~10-32% TI and the rest nine did not germinate.
