A variety of dressings has been used for covering the split thickness skin graft donor areas. Some of these are alginates, collagen sheets, films and the most commonly used impregnat‐ ed tulle gras dressing. The chief goal of management of donor area is to achieve early epi‐ thelisation without infection. Minimum pain, easy availability and low cost of dressing are other desirable criteria. A c...

Tempeh known as indigenous food that has high nutrients and antioxidant compounds. was produced from the fermentation of soybean with Rhizopus sp. usually wrapped plastic or banana leaf. The purpose this study to know effect originated (import local soybean) packaging material types (plastic, teakwood leaf, hibiscus leaf) on activity, fat content, ash content tempeh. methods research were activ...

Banana is a plant with nutritious fruit and can help prevent stunting. plants are widely cultivated in East Kalimantan, but the type characterization has not been identified. The purpose of this study was to determine diversity banana Kalimantan characterize based on morphology. This research explorative nature by identifying directly field cultivars. Morphological stems, leaves carried out des...

Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD), caused by a Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV), is the most devastating viral of bananas. The genome multipartite BBTV about 1 Kb in size and comprises six circular single-stranded (ss) DNA components, namely DNA-R, C, S, M, U3, N. Gene expression viruses highly flexible due to variations copy number transcript levels individual genomic components. This enables them adapt...

Neem leaf extracts (NLEs) have frequently been used to inhibit plant diseases and for the development of bio-fertilizer, leading commercial exploitation this tree. However, previous studies indicated contradictory outcomes when NLE was as an antifungal disease treatment bio-fertilizer applied through soil on several crops, including banana. Therefore, present investigation undertaken examine ph...

Malang Regency produced 690,136 tons banana in 2016. The production is line with the waste (banana stalks). Banana stalks contain 83.3% cellulose and 2.97% lignin, of which can be used as raw material for paperboard making. However, leaf paper has a low tensile strength 7.45 N/mm2, so additional fibers to strengthen necessary, such coconut coir 46.67 N/mm2. This research aimed formulate making,...

The homeodomain zipper family (HD-ZIP) of transcription factors is present only in plants and plays important role in the regulation of plant-specific processes. The subfamily IV of HDZ transcription factors (HD-ZIP IV) has primarily been implicated in the regulation of epidermal structure development. Though this gene family is present in all lineages of land plants, members of this gene famil...

The electrochemistry of banana tissues on a carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is presented. Cyclic voltammetry is applied to investigate the direct electrochemistry of banana tissues i.e. a source of polyphenol oxidase (PPO). A redox couple with an anodic and counterpart cathodic peak is obtained. The influence of various parameters such as pH,...
