This research is a preliminary study of planting ornamental plants with a green wall system. This study aims to provide an overview and information about the selection of types of plants that are suitable and commonly used in making green walls and arranging selected plants in green walls system. Green wall system which is often called vertical garden is a technique to plant ornamental plants, vegetables or other types of plants with a free design that considers various resources that allow plants to grow vertically. The advantages of green walls are efficient use of soil, beautifying the environment, adding location value, cleaning the air, lowering temperature, producing oxygen and providing fresh food that is close to the surrounding environment at home. Not all types of plants can be planted vertically. Easy-to-grow plants, short appearance and slow growth are common characteristics used for green walls. The special characters of the selected plants are determined based on the group of indoor or outdoor plants. Consideration of nutritional, light, water and plant requirements will determine the success of planting and the sustainability of vertical planting.

AbstractBlooming seasonality is an important trait in ornamental plants and was selected by humans. Wild roses flower only in spring whereas most cultivated modern roses can flower continuously. This trait is explained by a mutation of a floral repressor gene, RoKSN, a TFL1 homologue. In this work, we studied the origin, the diversity and the selection of the RoKSN gene. We analyzed 270 accessions, including wild and old cultivated Asian and European roses as well as modern roses. By sequencing the RoKSN gene, we proposed that the allele responsible for continuous-flowering, RoKSNcopia, originated from Chinese wild roses (Indicae section), with a recent insertion of the copia element. Old cultivated Asian roses with the RoKSNcopia allele were introduced in Europe, and the RoKSNcopia allele was progressively selected during the 19th and 20th centuries, leading to continuous-flowering modern roses. Furthermore, we detected a new allele, RoKSNA181, leading to a weak reblooming. This allele encodes a functional floral repressor and is responsible for a moderate accumulation of RoKSN transcripts. A transient selection of this RoKSNA181 allele was observed during the 19th century. Our work highlights the selection of different alleles at the RoKSN locus for recurrent blooming in rose.

ABSTRACTA new temnospondyl amphibian Balanerpeton woodi gen. et sp. nov. is represented by over 30 complete or partial skeletons from the Viséan limestones, shales and tuffs in East Kirkton Quarry, Bathgate, near Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the commonest tetrapod represented in the East Kirkton assemblage and grew to about half a metre in length. Although superficially like the later Dendrerpeton, it is more advanced in possessing small premaxillaries each bearing a pronounced alary process, large external nares, large rounded interpterygoid vacuities, broadly bordered by the vomers anteriorly, a narrow vomer-pterygoid suture and a rod-like stapes. It is characterised by an unusual dental configuration in which each dentary bears a smaller number of larger teeth than the corresponding upper jaw ramus. A second probable temnospondyl is represented by two straight ribs of a much larger form.The relationships of basal temnospondyls and other amphibian groups are discussed and it is proposed that the sister-group of the temnospondyls is the Microsauria and that neither colosteids nor Caerorhachis can be considered to be temnospondyls, as both fall outside the temnospondyl-microsaur clade. A preliminary study of character distribution across a selection of primitive temnospondyls, including Balanerpeton, suggests that it is more advanced than the long-snouted Edopoidea and the Dendrerpetontidae despite its Viséan age. This implies that by the Viséan, significant diversification of temnospondyls had taken place.

The village is an integral part of cities in Indonesia since its inception. Each village is unique because it represents historical uniqueness, diverse physical patterns, complex and dynamic social systems. Jakarta City as the largest city in Indonesia has its own challenges in managing the Urban Villages. One of the urban villages in Jakarta is Tanjung Gedong Village, located in RT.05 / RW.08 Tomang Village, Grogol Petamburan District. The selection of RT.05 / RW.08 as a PKM activity partner was because the location of the target partner was around the UNTAR campus, so the PKM activity became a tangible manifestation of UNTAR's contribution to the surrounding environment. The Proposing Team has also conducted PKM activities at the Partner's location, so it is hoped that the proposed program will be sustainable. Tanjung Gedong Village RT.05 / RW.08 Tomang Village has an area of 1.3 hectares with a population of 300 people (60 households). Problems owned by Partners to create a healthy and comfortable environment for residents: First, spatial planning is not optimal and flexible to accommodate a variety of social activities from the community. Secondly, the partners currently lack green open space. The proposed solution is the Proposed Green Village Structuring Concept by involving active participation from Partners (RW-RT leadership, Residents) using 3 approaches, namely: Green Planning and Design, Green Open Space and Green community. The proposed Green Village concept is expected to overcome the problems faced by partners so that a healthy and comfortable residential environment for residents is achievedABSTRAK:Kampung merupakan bagian integral kota-kota di Indonesia sejak awal pembentukannya. Setiap kampung memiliki keunikan karena merepresentasikan kekhasan sejarah, pola fisik yang beragam, sistem sosial yang kompleks dan dinamis. Kota Jakarta sebagai kota terbesar di Indonesia memiliki tantangan tersendiri dalam mengelola Kampung Kotanya. Salah satu kampung kota di Jakarta adalah Kampung Tanjung Gedong yang terletak di RT.05/RW.08 Kelurahan Tomang, Kecamatan Grogol Petamburan. Pemilihan RT.05/RW.08 sebagai Mitra kegiatan PKM karena lokasi mitra sasaran berada di sekitar kampus 1 UNTAR, sehingga kegiatan PKM ini menjadi salah satu wujud nyata kontribusi UNTAR terhadap lingkungan sekitar. Tim Pengusul juga telah melakukan kegiatan PKM di lokasi Mitra, sehingga diharapkan program yang diusulkan akan berkesinambungan. Kampung Tanjung Gedong RT.05/RW.08 Kelurahan Tomang memiliki luasan 1,3 Ha dengan jumlah penduduk 300 orang (60 KK). Permasalahan yang dimiliki oleh Mitra untuk menciptakan lingkungan yang sehat dan nyaman untuk warga: Pertama, tata ruang belum optimal dan fleksibel untuk mewadahi beragam aktivitas sosial dari masyarakat. Kedua, saat ini mitra masih kekurangan ruang terbuka hijau. Solusi yang diusulkan adalah Usulan Konsep Penataan Kampung Hijau dengan melibatkan partisipasi aktif dari Mitra (pemangku pimpinan RW-RT, Warga) menggunakan 3 pendekatan, yaitu: Green Planning and Design, Green Open Space dan Green community. Usulan konsep Kampung Hijau diharapkan dapat mengatasi permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh mitra sehingga tercapai sebuah lingkungan hunian yang sehat dan nyaman untuk warga.

This article presents the results of work on the selection of groundcover plants (both light-loving and shade-tolerant) that are promising and very promising for use on landscape architecture objects. The work was carried out during 2018 on the basis of the collection Fund of the laboratory of ornamental plants of the Main Botanical garden (MBG RAS), on two experimental sites located on the main territory of the MBG RAS, in the collection-exhibition «Shadow garden» and on the exhibition area «Decorative perennials». A total of 225 plants were selected during the study. During the growing season, field surveys of experimental samples were systematically performed and phenological observations were made. Field studies included biometric measurements of the height of the Bush and peduncle, the diameter of the Bush, the diameter/length of the flower/inflorescence, as well as refinement of the color of the flowers/inflorescences (using a special color scale of the English Royal society of flower growers (RHS color Chart)). The result of this work is a list that includes 40 names. These are very promising and promising species that we recommend for use in urban gardening.
