Universitas Gadjah Mada Heyne) is a plant belongs to Iris family (Iridaceae). Genetic study Jl. Teknika Selatan, Sekip of the Eleutherine species should be investigated to yield valuable Utara, Yogyakarta 55281, information for breeding program. The aim of this research was to Indonesia determine chromosome characters as a preliminary research on 2 Department of the genetic characterization of Bawang Sabrang. Squash method Pharmaceutical Biology, on the root tips was used for chromosome preparation of this Faculty of Pharmacy plant. The results showed that the time of cell division and Universitas Gadjah Mada prometaphase stages of Bawang Sabrang were occurred at about 55281,Indonesia 08.00-08.30 a.m. and 08.20 a.m., respectively. Chromosome number of Bawang Sabrang was 2n=12 and the karyotype Submitted: 17-07-2012 Revised: 29-09-2012 consisted of 8 (4 pairs) of metacentric chromosomes, 2 (1 pair) Accepted: 06-10-2012 submetacentric chromosomes and 2 (1 pair) subtelocentric chromosomes which have the longest of total length *Corresponding author chromosomes. Therefore, the karyotype formula of Bawang SAT Budi Setiadi Daryono Sabrang was 2n=12=8m+2sm+2st . Besides that, on the pair of subtelocentric chromosomes there was a satellite at each of the Email : chromosome. Analysis of chromosome characters exhibited that [email protected]. the long of total length chromosomes was about 1.687 ± 0.111 µm ac.id to 5.320 ± 0.716 µm. Based on the R value ( 3,65 ± 0,41), it revealed that there was variation of chromosome size on this Eleutherine species in Indonesia. Moreover, data of the chromosome characters is important to complete the database of Bawang Sabrang as a potential medicinal herb in Indonesia Keywords: Bawang Sabrang, Eleutherine americana, chromosome, karyotype INTRODUCTION Ph.D.).

  • Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
    SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Contributions from the United States National Herbarium Volume 52: 1-415 Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands Editors Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez and Mark T. Strong Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History Washington, DC 2005 ABSTRACT Acevedo-Rodríguez, Pedro and Mark T. Strong. Monocots and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, volume 52: 415 pages (including 65 figures). The present treatment constitutes an updated revision for the monocotyledon and gymnosperm flora (excluding Orchidaceae and Poaceae) for the biogeographical region of Puerto Rico (including all islets and islands) and the Virgin Islands. With this contribution, we fill the last major gap in the flora of this region, since the dicotyledons have been previously revised. This volume recognizes 33 families, 118 genera, and 349 species of Monocots (excluding the Orchidaceae and Poaceae) and three families, three genera, and six species of gymnosperms. The Poaceae with an estimated 89 genera and 265 species, will be published in a separate volume at a later date. When Ackerman’s (1995) treatment of orchids (65 genera and 145 species) and the Poaceae are added to our account of monocots, the new total rises to 35 families, 272 genera and 759 species. The differences in number from Britton’s and Wilson’s (1926) treatment is attributed to changes in families, generic and species concepts, recent introductions, naturalization of introduced species and cultivars, exclusion of cultivated plants, misdeterminations, and discoveries of new taxa or new distributional records during the last seven decades.

INTRODUCTION In this article, the literature for the past twelve or so years is recorded on the anatomy of Liliaceae, AmarylIidaceae and Iridaceae and the smaller, related families, Alliaceae, Haemodoraceae, Hypoxidaceae, Ruscaceae, Smilacaceae and Trilliaceae. Subjects covered range from embryology, vegetative and floral anatomy to seed anatomy. A format is used in which references are arranged alphabetically, numbered and annotated, so that the reader can rapidly obtain an idea of the range and contents of papers on subjects of particular interest to him. The main research trends have been identified, classified, and check lists compiled for the major headings. Current systematic anatomy on the 'Anatomy of the Monocotyledons' series is reported.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of Eleutherine bulbosa (Mill.) Urb extract (EAE) on the average weekly gain (AWG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE), digestive enzyme (amylase, lipase, protease) activity, total and differential leukocyte counts, and phagocytosis activity of the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). Four groups of fish with three replicates were fed 15 (P1), 30 (P2), 45 (P3), and 60 (P4) g kg-1of EAE in a basal diet and compared with control (C) fish without EAE at a rate 3% of body weight for 4 weeks. At the end of the trial, the results showed that fish fed EAE above 15 g kg-1 in the diet significantly increased AWG, while SGR, FE, lipase, protease, and neutrophil, and lymphocyte activity were not affected by any dietary concentration of EAE.
