Academic literature on the topic 'Pisang Awak'

<p class="IsiAbstrakIndo"><span lang="EN-GB">Indonesia is the origin and center of diversity of banana. One of an edible banana in Indonesia is Pisang Awak (</span><em><span lang="EN-GB">Musa paradisiaca</span></em><span lang="EN-GB"> cv. Awak ). In West Kalimantan, the ripe Pisang Awak has been processed into </span><em><span lang="EN-GB">sale</span></em><span lang="EN-GB"> (dried banana). The aims of this research were to describe the morphological and anatomical character of Pisang Awak in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. In this study, Pisang Awak were collected from Padang Tikar I village, Batu Ampar Sub-district, Kubu Raya district, West Kalimantan. Morphological characterizations were conducted by following the instruction on Descriptors for Banana (</span><em><span lang="EN-GB">Musa</span></em><span lang="EN-GB"> spp.) from IPGRI. The root, leaf blade, and petiole were fixed in FAA solution. Root, leaf, and petiole anatomy preparats were made by paraffin method. The lamina of Pisang Awak consisted of adaxial epidermis, two hypodermis layers, two palisade layers, spongy layer, bundle sheath cell, abaxial epidermis, laticifer. The petiole of Pisang Awak composed of three tissue systems, i.e., epidermis layer, parenchyma tissue and vascular tissue. The root of Pisang Awak consists of two epidermis layers, parenchyma and vascular cylinder. In the future, morphological and anatomical character in Pisang Awak could be applied as the basis of information for breeding programs of banana cultivars and classification.</span></p>

AbstractA survey was conducted at 17 sites in Central Uganda. Suckers were detached from East African Highland cooking bananas (Musa spp., AAA-group) and the cultivar Pisang Awak (Musa spp., ABB-group), and assessed for nematode population densities and root damage. The frequency of occurrence on both Musa groups was Helicotylenchus multicinctus 88%, Radopholus similis 74% and Pratylenchus goodeyi 50%. Helicotylenchus multicinctus and R. similis densities were higher (P ≤ 0.05) on Highland cooking bananas compared to Pisang Awak, while P. goodeyi densities did not differ significantly between the groups. Helicotylenchus multicinctus and R. similis were observed to be the major pests of Highland cooking bananas in Central Uganda, causing extensive root death. Radopholus similis may be the more important of the two, as it was also highly associated with root necrosis.

The high prevalence of malnutrition in infancy until the age of two years relating to the provision of inadequate complementary feeding. The low quantity and quality of complementary feeding will trigger nutrient insufficient intake in infants. This research aimed to know the influence of the giving of the complementary feeding mixed of flour awak banana and rice and soy bean sprout against the nutrients intake of infants. The study design was quasy experimental non-equivalent control group, with a number of samples were divided into three groups: the first group given complementary feeding mix awak banana and rice flours, the second group was given complementary feeding mix awak banana, rice and sprouts soy flours, and groups third as a control, each consisting of 25 infants aged 6-9 months. The intervention was conducted for 3 months and data consumption is measured using a 24-hour food recall. Data analyzed using Anova test. The results showed generally granting complementary feeding mixed awak banana and rice and soybean sprouts flours can increase the nutrients intake of babies during the intervention. These two types of complementary feeding can increase energy and protein babies intake, but complementary feeding mixed of awak banana, rice and soy sprouts flours can increase vitamin A intake, while the complementary feeding mixed of awak banana and rice flours can increase iron intake. In conclusion, the mixed of awak banana and rice and soybean sprouts flours can be made ascomplementary feeding alternative to improve the nutritional intake of infants.
 The high prevalence of malnutrition in infants under two years of age relating to the provision of inadequate complementary feeding. The low quantity and quality of complementary feeding will trigger insufficient nutrient intakes of infants. This research aimed to determine the effects of complementary feeding mixed of of awak banana, rice, and sprouted soybean flouron nutrient intakes of infants. The study employed quasi experimental non-equivalent control group design. Samples were divided into three groups; the first group was given complementary feeding mixed of awak banana and rice flour. The second group was given complementary feeding mixed of ofawak banana, rice, and sprouted soybean flour. The last group was served as control. Each group consisted of 25 infants aged 6-9 months. The study was conducted for 3 months. Data were measured using a 24-hour food recall and analyzed using Anova test. The results showed that complementary feeding mixed of ofawak banana, rice, and sprouted soybean flour could increase the nutrient intakes of infants during the intervention. The two ways of complementary feeding could increase energy and protein of babies. Complementary feeding mixed of awak banana, rice, and sprouted soybean flour could increase vitamin A intake, while the complementary feeding mixed of awak banana and rice flour can increase iron intake. In conclusion, the mixture of awak banana, rice, and sprouted soybean flour could be as alternative way of complementary feeding to improve the nutritient intakes of infants.

This work deals with characterization of Musa genus, in vitro cultivation of banana plants and micropropagation of three chosen Kluai Namwa cultivars. Theoretical part comprises of genus Musa taxonomy and particular groups in this genus, then description of all the parts of banana plant, origin of banana growing and cultivars. The world most important cultivars were chosen and described together with their occurence. This chapter includes description of importance and different usage of bananas and world banana trade, too. There can be found overview of the most important pests and diseases of banana plants, ways of multiplication and advantages and difficulties of breeding. The part named Banana plant in vitro deals with specific uses of different aseptic cultures of bananas, it describes some of used practises and their risks. This chapter focuses mostly on micropropagation of banana plants, from establishing the culture to weaning and planting to the field. Third and last part describes the experiment with multiplication of three banana cultivars from Kluai Namwa group (ABB). This experiment took place at Thai university in the year 2015. The goal was to evaluate the suitability of four different cultivation media for individual cultivars and to suggest the best medium for multiplication. Two solid MS media were tested (one with the BA concentration 3 mg.l -1 , the second with 5 mg.l -1 BA) and two liquid MS media with the same concentrations of BA. As the best medium for all three cultivars it turned out to be the liquid one with 5 mg/l BA. But even when this media was used the proliferation of new shoots was low. As the solution the use of fructose as source of energy and multiplication in TIS were sugested.

The period between the battle of Lepanto and the middle of the seventeenth century has a certain unity. Barbary pirates did not go away – indeed, they became more piratical, in the sense that the Ottomans allowed them a freer hand, for the Sublime Porte no longer expected to extend its direct authority deep into the western Mediterranean. The western Mediterranean was also exposed to vicious raids by Christian corsairs – to the Knights of Malta could now be added the Knights of Santo Stefano, Tuscan pirates and holy warriors whose order was founded in 1562 by the Medici duke of Tuscany. Like the Venetians, they brought some of the Ottoman banners back in victory from Lepanto; they still hang incongruously in their church in Pisa, daily proclaiming the faith of Islam amid the incense of Catholic ritual. It would be otiose to repeat the endless saga of attacks and reprisals as Christian Knights of Malta or Santo Stefano scored points against Barbary corsairs; the most unfortunate victims were always those who were carried away into slavery from the decks of captured merchant ships, or from the shores of Italy, Spain and Africa (the French were relatively immune to Muslim raiders as a result of their ties to the Ottoman court). Galleys out of Sicily continued to patrol the seas in the hope of defending the Spanish king’s Italian possessions from sea-raiders, but large-scale galley warfare had come to an end, not just because new ship-types were seen as more efficient but because the cost of building and maintaining galleys was prohibitive. Even so, the Ottomans reconstructed their war fleet in the immediate aftermath of Lepanto. There were alarums in the West: it was confidently assumed that the Ottomans would launch a second great assault on a Christian target. Yet the Sublime Porte had lost its taste for naval warfare, and was content to leave the Spaniards alone, while pursuing its traditional rivalry with the Shi’ite emperors of Persia. This was extremely convenient, since Spanish preoccupations also now turned away from the Mediterranean; Philip II’s great ambition was to defeat the new type of Infidel who was crawling all over northern Europe: the Protestants.
