The important cytochrome P450 inhibitor ancymidol is used as a plant growth retardant and has potential for various medicinal applications. However its high price sets economic limits to large-scale applications. Here a short and high-yielding synthesis is reported, providing ancymidol in substantial amounts in a cost- and time-efficient way.

Abstrak : Tanaman miana saat ini dimanfaatkan sebagai tanaman hias. Perbanyakan Tanaman miana dapat dilakukan dengan cara generatif maupun vegetatif. Stek pucuk merupakan cara perbanyakan vegetatif tanaman miana yang relatif mudah dilakukan. Pembibitan dengan cara ini merupakan salah satu cara cepat dalam memenuhi kebutuhan bahan tanaman skala besar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian Zat Pengatur Tumbuh terhadap stek pucuk tanaman miana (Coleus atropurpureus (L.) Benth. Penelitian dilaksanakan di di laboratorium agroekologi, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtyasa. Penelitian akan dilaksanakan pada bulan pada bulan Maret sampai Mei 2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) yang yang terdiri dari empat perlakuan dan diulang tiga kali. Perlakuan yang diuji dalam percobaan ini adalah: kontrol (Tanpa ZPT), IAA 750 ppm, Growtone 500 ppm, dan air kelapa 10%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian zat pengatur tumbuh berpengaruh terhadap jumlah tunas dan jumlah akar. Jumlah tunas terbanyak terdapat pada perlakuan Growtone sebesar 7.50 tunas. Jumlah akar terbanyak terdapat pada perlakuan IAA sebesar 91.00 buah. Rekomendasi budidaya tanaman miana dengan cara stek dapat menggunakan IAA 750 ppm maupun Growtone 500 ppm.Kata Kunci : miana, stek, zat pengatur tumbuhAbstract : Miana plant is currently used as an ornamental plant. The multiplication of miana crops can be done in a generative and vegetative way. Cuttings is a vegetative way of reproduction of miana plant which is relatively easy to do. Breeding in this way is one of the quick ways in meeting the needs of large-scale plant materials. This research aims to determine the effect of giving Plant Growth Regulator to the shoots cuttings of Miana (Coleus atropurpureus (L.) Benth). Research conducted in the Agroecological laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Sultan Ageng Tirtyasa. The research will be held in the month of March to May 2017. The study conducted by randomized block design (RBD) which consists of four treatments and is repeated three times. The treatment tested in this experiment was: control (without plant growth regulator), IAA 750 ppm, Growtone 500 ppm, and 10% coconut water. The results showed that the treatment of plant growth regulator affected in the number of shoots and the number of roots. The most number of shoots is in the Growtone treatment of 7.50 shoots. The highest number of roots is in the IAA treatment of 91.00 pieces. Recommendations for cultivation of miana crops with cuttings can use IAA 750 ppm maupun Growtone 500 ppm.Keyword : Miana, cuttings, growing regulatory substances

The effects ReTain Plant Growth Regulator (830 g in 1000 L water/ha) applied to a commercial block of 'Arctic Snow' nectarines 7 days before the first harvest was assessed in relation to harvest delay, fruit size, fruit quality (flesh firmness and brix), as well as the quality of the fruit following export to Taiwan. The untreated block (0.87 ha) and the ReTain-treated block (1.0 ha) were harvested according to the orchard's standard maturation criteria of background colour, size and percent blush colour. Based on picking schedules, the maturation of the ReTain block was delayed by 2.75 days (P<0.05). The fruit continued to grow during this delay and resulted in a 12.3% increase in yield and an increase of 393 packed cartons/ha. There were more (P<0.001) cartons of ReTain-treated fruit packed in grade sizes 69–78 mm diameter and less of smaller size classes (51–66 mm) compared with untreated fruit. The increase in both the number of cartons of class 1 fruit and fruit size on the ReTain block resulted in a Return on Investment (ROI) of 14.7 : 1 with an additional net return of AU$17 655/ha over the untreated block. There was a correlation between fruit size and flesh firmness with larger fruit being firmer than smaller fruit (P<0.001), however, packed ReTain-treated fruit was 3.2 N firmer on average (P<0.001) than packed untreated fruit for all size grades and from all harvests and packs. Brix levels increased (P<0.001) with fruit size but there was no difference (P = 0.568) between ReTain-treated fruit and untreated fruit. Two containers of fruit (early and late picks) were exported to Taiwan. The containers held a temperature of 0.5–2.0°C for the 14–15 day transit time from Australia to Taiwan. ReTain-treated fruit in both containers was 1.7 N firmer (P = 0.022) than untreated fruit upon arrival in Taiwan. After ambient storage (23°C) of fruit from container 1 for 45 h, fruit firmness declined (P<0.001) from an average of 65.7 to 43.2 N and there was no difference (P = 0.826) between treated or untreated fruit. It is concluded that ReTain application to 'Arctic Snow' nectarines can increase financial returns to growers through increased fruit size and quality benefits as well as maintain a higher flesh firmness following export.
