Propagation by root cuttings is an easy and low-cost method for plant taxa with an ability to produce rhizomes or suckers. This research examined the possibility of using root/rhizome cuttings in the propagation of two difficult-to-root old rose cultivars, ‘Harison’s Yellow’ and ‘Poppius’. A plant-based preparation (Root Juice), titanium (Tytanit), and IBA (Chryzotop Green 0.25% IBA, Rhizopon AA 020 XX 2.00% IBA) were tested as rooting and growth enhancers for thick, medium, and thin rhizome/root cuttings. Additionally, observations were made to identify the site of the initial root and shoot formation. Shoots appeared before roots, without polarity. The visible swellings differentiating in new root/shoot buds in these two rose cultivars were placed along the rhizome. The primordia of root and shoot buds were situated near the pith rays and the vascular cambial zone. The trial reported here showed significant effects of the thickness of root cuttings and the preparations used in terms of rooting success and growth characteristics. Medium-sized cuttings of rose ‘Harison’s Yellow’ (45.0%), and thin cuttings of ‘Poppius’ (74.3%) achieved the highest rooting percentages. The most effective treatment was with Chryzotop Green, but Root Juice 0.01% and Tytanit 0.04% (‘Poppius’) and 0.02% (both cultivars) also had positive activity. Root Juice and Tytanit can be suggested for rooting cuttings of these roses as eco-friendly preparations.

Effective treatment of dyes wastewater is important to prevent water pollution. According to data by the Department of Environment (DOE) in 2017, 51 rivers have been polluted because of sewage, industry growth, livestock breeding and attitude of some irresponsible Malaysians that dump trash into river. One of the industries that contribute to river pollution is the batik industry. This is because batik processing activities have resulted in effluents containing chemicals streamed into the river and affecting aquatic life and human health as well. The main goals of this project is to produce a filter from available locally materials in solving polluted river water arising from batik wastewater. Along with the theme “from nature back to nature”, PadS-Clay Filter were prepared from 100% waste material such as paddy straw and clay according to designed formulation. Then, the dyes wastewater was flow on the PadS-Clay Filter and passed through the filter. The UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to analyze the absorption and concentration of the filtered dyes wastewater. Based on the result, PadS-Clay 2 (PSC2) and PadS-Clay 3 (PSC 3) were the most effective designed formulation for dyes rejection and flux of dyes in treating dyes effluent as the percentage of the dyes rejection for all PSC2 were over than 90%.

Triarylmethane Dyes

The dyes in the effluents discharged into water bodies, aimlessly, are displeasing aesthetically and pose hazards to aquatic communities. The use of adsorption process has been adopted for effective treatment of wastewater containing dyes. The removal of Bromophenol blue (BPB), Bromocresol green (BCG), Bromocresol purple (BCP), and Bromothymol blue (BTB) dyes (a family of triarylmethane dyes) through adsorption process using several cheaply available non-conventional agricultural-waste based adsorbents was reviewed in this report. The gaps in the treatment trend further indicate the prospect of adapting various lignocellulose and other biogenic materials for the removal of Bromo-based dyes from wastewater.

Cow Urine

Anin vitroassay was carried out to establish if cow urine at different concentrations (500 µL/mL, 300 µL/mL, 200 µL/mL, and 100 µL/mL) can be used to control the growth ofF. lateritium, the fungal agent causing Fusarium bark disease in coffee. The growth characteristics selected were conidial germination, germ tube length, mycelial growth rate, and sporulation. Copper oxychloride 50% W.P. was the standard, distilled water was the negative control, and undiluted cow urine was the positive control. The undiluted cow urine was most effective in inhibiting fungal growth with the rest of the cow urine concentrations showing dose dependent efficacy compared to the negative control (P< 0.01). Copper oxychloride had the highest efficacy of all treatments with the exception of the inhibition of mycelial growth where undiluted cow urine had higher efficacy and sporulation where efficacy was comparable to undiluted cow urine. There is potential for the use of cow urine as a means of controlling Fusarium bark disease with other advantages being availability, low cost, and limited environmental damage.

In Vitro Clonal Propagation

Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst is a well-known medicinal herb in the Ayurveda. It is also used as laxative and curative for ulcers, inflammation, anaemia, scabies, leucoderma, asthma and epilepsy, enlargement of spleen, leprosy and others. In vitro propagation and regeneration through somatic embryogenesis of B. monnieri has played an important role in the production of healthy, disease-free plants with desirable traits. In B. monnieri, there are few reports which indicate rapid regeneration and somatic embryogenesis. For in vitro clonal propagation, the highest shoot formation was obtained when BAP 2 mg/ l used. The best response for rooting was obtained in IAA 1.0 mg/ l. The recorded survival rate of the plants was 70%. Plants were without any detectable phenotypic variations. Cytological study indicated that the chromosome number remain same (2n= 64) in in vitro and in vivo roots. A rapid, simple and efficient protocol for plantlet regeneration was achieved through embryogenic callus from leaf explants of B. monnieri. Callus induction and embryogenesis were significantly affected by presence/absence and type and concentration of growth regulators. Best organogenic callus induction was obtained in MS medium supplemented with BAP 5mg/ l. For induction of somatic embryogenesis, auxin (2, 4-D 1 mg/ l) was used in the culture medium subsequently in basal media for embryo maturation. Kn 0.2 mg/ l was the best for production of plantlet from embryo. Thus, this can be an easiest protocol for stable clonal propagation and plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis in B. monnieri. The protocol used here for propagation and regeneration is much easier, low cost and reliable.

Process sewage from sludge dewatering is particularly suitable for separate partial-flow treatment owing to its highly concentrated components and mostly elevated temperature. The procedures normally foreseen are those offering an effective treatment plant discharge based on a simple operating method and at low cost. With the Store and Treat process developed by Hamburger Stadtentwässerung existing sludge liquor basins can be used for an additional biological partial-flow treatment at reasonable cost without abandoning the advantages of quantity management.

Axenic seedling cultures of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) and garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) were established by culturing mature seeds on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with thidiazuron (TDZ). Of various cytokinins or compounds with cytokinin-like activity (Kinetin, TDZ, Zeatin) tested for inducing shoot formation in pea seeds cultures, TDZ was found to be most effective. Pea seedlings exhibited a unique pattern of shoot formation which was accomplished in two distinct phases. Multiple shoots developed within a week, from the nodal and basal regions of the primary epicotyl in a medium that contained 5-50 μM TDZ. When these seedlings were exposed for a prolonged time period (3-4 weeks), to the same medium, numerous shoot buds emerged de novo from the base and/or from the upper part of multiple shoots. These shoots had no apparent vascular connection with parent tissues. The inductive capability of TDZ was then tested in several other genotypes of Pisum sativum and two other large-seeded grain legumes, Cicer arietinum, and Lens culinaris. In Cicer arietinum, and Lens culinaris, multiple shoots developed after 1 week of seed culture on media that contained 1-50 μM TDZ. However, de novo differentiation of shoot buds occurred in cultures exposed to TDZ for 4-6 weeks, only from nodal and subjacent areas. Secondary shoot formation occurred frequently in all of the species tested. Developing shoots were able to form roots and eventually whole plants on a modified MS medium containing 2.5 μM NAA. No genotypic difference for morphogenesis was observed.

Particulated Cartilage

Introduction Injuries to articular cartilage have a poor spontaneous repair potential and no gold standard treatment exist. Particulated cartilage, both auto- and allograft, is a promising new treatment method that circumvents the high cost of scaffold- and cell-based treatments. Materials and Methods A comprehensive database search on particulated cartilage was performed. Results Fourteen animal studies have found particulated cartilage to be an effective treatment for cartilage injuries. Many studies suggest that juvenile cartilage has increased regenerative potential compared to adult cartilage. Sixteen clinical studies on 4 different treatment methods have been published. (1) CAIS, particulated autologous cartilage in a scaffold, (2) Denovo NT, juvenile human allograft cartilage embedded in fibrin glue, (3) autologous cartilage chips—with and without concomitant bone grafting, and (4) augmented autologous cartilage chips. Conclusion Implantation of allogeneic and autologous particulated cartilage provides a low cost and effective treatment alternative to microfracture and autologous chondrocyte implantation. The methods are promising, but large randomized controlled studies are needed.

Declining natural resources and increasing environmental contamination due to human activities trigger people to consider a sustainable way to solve two problems in a solutive practice. Many households in Indonesia mostly discharge their greywater directly to the surface water, which pollutes the water and environment around it. On the other hand, the amount of potential water resources is declining nationwide, resulting in high pollution levels and require the high cost of water treatment to purify the water. To reduce the pollution load as well as to provide alternative water for indoor and outdoor use, it is necessary to find the most effective treatment. Greywater treatment by using plants (phytotechnology) combined with solar UV system is one of the breakthroughs that meet the criteria of low cost, simple in operation and maintenance, as well as energy saving. This paper presents the result of the combined treatment of phytoremediation and solar UV system as a very effective treatment to treat greywater. The treatment design consists of a collection chamber, sedimentation, filter, phytoremediation, and solar UV disinfection chamber. The treated water quality met the requirements of the Provincial Regulation of Central Java No. 5 of 2012 and class 3 standard (water for cultivation of plants and fisheries) of Indonesian Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001, but does not yet meet the standard for toilet flushing water. This result showed that the treatment of greywater by using plants and solar UV treatment is still facing some challenges to increase the intake of its treated water for indoor and outdoor water used within a household.
