Tumbuhan parasit digolongkan menjadi hemiparasit dan holoparasit. Salah satu kelompok tumbuhan holoparasit adalah suku Balanophoraceae, diantaranya adalah Balanophora. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui jenis-jenis Balanophora, tumbuhan inang, asosiasi tumbuhan bawah dan faktor abiotik yang mempengaruhinya di Kawasan Hutan Batang Toru Blok Barat dan telah dilaksanakan dari bulan Juli sampai September 2018. Balanophora dieksplorasi menggunakan metode eksplorasi di jalur trek yang ada. Tumbuhan inang diketahui dengan menelusuri jalinan akar yang diparasiti. Asosiasi tumbuhan bawah diketahui dengan mendata tumbuhan menggunakan metode petak bersarang. Ditemukan dua jenis Balanophora yaitu Balanophora papuana dan Balanophora elongata dengan 13 jenis tumbuhan inang yang semuanya adalah pohon kecuali satu jenis sebagai pencekik. Tidak ada persamaan jenis asosiasi tumbuhan bawah pada masing-masing jenis dimana Balanophora papuana berasosiasi sebanyak tujuh jenis dan Balanophora elongata sebanyak 14 jenis. Faktor abiotik yang mempengaruhi keberadaan Balanophora adalah pH tanah. Balanophora papuana dipengaruhi oleh suhu udara, sedangkan Balanophora elongata dipengaruhi oleh suhu tanah. Perbedaan faktor abiotik kedua jenis tersebut yaitu pada suhu udara dan tanah, kelembaban udara dan intensitas cahaya.

ABSTRACT Indonesia’s forest are tropical forest that contains many kind of plants, including parasite. Parasitic plants were separated into hemiparasite and holoparasite. Balanophoraceae is a holoparasitic plant and Balanophora was one of it. The aim of this study was to inventory species of Balanophora, it’s host trees, association with ground cover and abiotic factors that affect Balanophora in The West Block Batang Toru Forest. This studies has been conducted from July until September 2018. The exploration method were used to inventory the Balanophora along the existing track path. The hosts were known by traced the roots that attached to the Balanophora. Ground cover association was known using nested plot method. There were only two Balanophora found, they are Balanophora papuana and Balanophora elongata. Thirdteen host plants were known and all of it was tree except one as a strangler fig. Neither the B. papuana and B. elongata shared same ground cover association. B. papuana associated with seven species while B. elongata associated with 14 species of ground cover. Soil acidity were known affected both Balanophora. Balanophora papuana affected by air temperature while B. elongata affected by soil temperature. There were soil and air temperature, air humidity and light intensity that differ between the Balanophora. Key Words: Associations, Balanophora, Batang Toru Forest, Host Plant, North Sumatra. iii UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA PENGHARGAAN Alhamdulillahirabbil’alamiin, puji dan syukur Penulis panjatkan kepada Allah SWT atas berkat dan karunia-Nya penulis dapat menyelesaikan penyusunan skripsi ini dengan judul Balanophora Di Kawasan Hutan Batang Toru Blok Barat, Kabupaten Tapanuli Utara, Provinsi Sumatera Utara.

Environmental changes have led to cellular adjustment and adaptation in plant growth. External factors have, for example, influenced the growth pattern of Gynura procumbens plants and led to production of specific secondary metabolite internally for the purpose of differentiation and conditional interaction. These developmental patterns and production of metabolites are expressional characteristics of the plant, and so growers can have only a restricted range of movement or limited control over their reaction to environmental changes compared to their reaction to human or animal interactions. Even though metabolite production is pervasive among the plants, the need to explore abiotic control strategies for regulating the patterns of growth of Gynura procumbens as well as their accumulation of metabolites has been shown to be significant in recent studies of plant-abiotic interactions.

Hence, their knowledge on epiphytes and parasites was found to be very limited, especially among the young generation of the tribes. The present study reported the use of 28 species (16 epiphytes and 12 parasites), which represent about 13.4% of the total epiphytes and parasites present in Kerala, and they are of valuable properties and uses and are used for curing or corrective measures for several diseases. Majority of the properties and uses recorded are first reports pertaining to these special groups of plants. A thorough investigation on the phytochemistry and therapeutic values of the bioactive compounds contained in these epiphytes and parasites would result in the discovery of new and valuable drugs of high potentials and of interest to the Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical industries.

Rajendraprasad1, T. Shaju2, G. Thulasidas3 Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute, Palode, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India rajendraprasadvkm[at]gmail.com Abstract: Sacred Groves are the tracts of virgin forests; the vestiges of an ancient practice in which people has been protecting forest patches associated with home, temple, agricultural fields or in public places to avoid the perceived wrath of its resident God. In such groves all life forms including microbes are belong to deity and it is believed that, any harm to them invites the displeasure of deity in the form of disease or decease. These terrestrial forest ecosystems are usually in association with fresh water conservatory and this together extent a number of ecological, edaphological and conservational services in the landscape of Kerala. In Kerala the natural forests are extended in the high ranges and highland area (Altitude above 100 m MSL), the sacred groves are distributed in midland or lowland regions (Altitude below 100 m MSL) where the natural forests are not seen. The sacred groves have a comprehensive environmental role in the track of urbanized landscape ecology of the state by protecting flora and fauna. The investigation divulges the unparallel and unique floristic accounts, distinct ecological and conservational values of vegetation, which are extended to the traditional landscape of the state which are succumbed to various anthropogenic pressures.

Susatya A. 2018. The potential risk of tree regeneration failure in species-rich Taba Penanjung lowland rainforest, Bengkulu, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 1891-1901. Tropical lowland rain forest is recognized by its high species richness with very few trees per species. It is also known for having tendency to outcrossing of its species with different floral sexualities, which requires the synchronization between flowering of its trees and the presence of pollinators. Such ecological attributes raise possible constraints for the forest trees to regenerate. The objective of the study was to assess the potential risk of failed regeneration for each tree species of the forest. Each of species with dbh of more than 5 cm in a one-ha plot was collected, identified, and its ecological criteria, including rarity, floral sexuality, seed size, and flowering phenology were determined. The potential risk of the failure of regeneration was calculated by summing all scores from Analytical Hierarchical Process of the criteria. The results indicated that the forest consisted of 118 species belonging to 69 genera and 37 families. Rare species accounted to 52.10% of the total species.

R. and Keshavachandra, K. (2016). Traditional nutritional attributes of native flora of the southwest coast of India. International Journal of Agricultural Technology 12(4): 777-796. Abstract Coastal regions of Karnataka and Kerala are well known for richness of native or indigenous plant species of ethnic value to meet the nutritional requirements. Approaches of nutritional use of native plant resources differ between geographic as well as ethnic groups. Based on folk knowledge, the present study deals with 19 plant species (in 17 genera and 16 families) used mainly for nutritional purpose. Various parts of plants used, seasonal availability and preparation of traditional dishes with brief account of medicinal value are discussed. Modern lifestyle seems to overlook indigenous knowledge and strength of native plant species in human nutrition. In depth scientific investigations will decipher nutritional versatility, unique formulations, value additions and industrial potential of indigenous plant species. Keywords: Ethnic knowledge, ethnic nutrition, ethanobotany, ethnomedicine, indigenous plants, native plants, wild plants Introduction As several ethnic communities are in constant contact with wild plant species occurring in their vicinity, a complex relationship has been established to utilize such plant species to fulfil specific nutritional or medicinal requirements (Soejarto et al., 2005).

Flow cytometry analysis indicated that no chum oldhamii has beautiful foliage and attractive bright variation in the ploidy level was observed in plants yellow flowers. However, breeding of T. oldhamii by regenerated via direct shoot formation, whereas chromo- conventional sexual hybridization may be difficult because some doubling occurred in several plants regenerated via sexual reproduction of this species is very rare. In the indirect shoot formation. Regenerated plants with the same present study, plant regeneration systems via both direct ploidy level as the mother plants showed almost the same and indirect formation of adventitious shoots from leaf phenotype as the mother plants, whereas chromosome- explants were established as the first step toward breeding doubled plants showed apparent morphological alterations: T. oldhamii by using biotechnological techniques. Adven- they had small and crispate flowers, and round and deep titious shoots were formed efficiently on medium con- green leaves. taining 0.1 mg l-1 benzyladenine.
