AbstractFlavonoids are secondary metabolites that are present at high levels in most plant seeds and grains. These compounds appear to play vital roles in defence against pathogens and predators and contribute to physiological functions such as seed maturation and dormancy. At the same time, particular subclasses of flavonoids, such as the proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins), negatively impact the use of seeds and grains in animal feed and can add undesirable qualities to food products for human consumption. This article presents an overview of investigations into the physiological and agronomic aspects of seed and grain flavonoids as well as a review of molecular genetic studies, particularly in maize,Arabidopsisand soybean, where mutants deficient in flavonoid biosynthesis provide useful tools for stydying the metabolic machinery underlying the accumulation of these compounds in reproductive structures.

Early Seedling

Flavonoids and nitrogenous metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenoids, peptides and amino acids are major components of plant seeds. Conjugated forms of these compounds are soluble in water, and therefore, are easily released as chemical signals following imbibition. Once in the soil, these metabolites are first in line to serve as eco-sensing signals for suitable rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal partners required for the establishment of symbiotic mutualisms. They may also serve as defence molecules against pathogens and insect pests, as well as playing a role in the control of parasitic members of the family Scrophulariaceae, especially Striga, a major plant pest of cereal crops in Africa. Seed metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, peptides and amino acids define seedling growth and, ultimately, crop yields. Thus, an improvement in our understanding of seed chemistry would permit manipulation of these molecules for effective control of pathogens, insect pests, Striga and destructive weeds, as well as for enhanced acquisition of N and P via symbioses with soil rhizobia and AM fungi.

Plant Seeds

Ficus spp. is a plant that can play an important role in efforts to increase environmental conservation and forest productivity. One type is beunying (Ficus fistulosa) which is included in plant rehabilitation and restoration. Propagation of the Ficus plant is easiest to do by vegetative or stem cuttings. Therefore community service offers a solution in the form of making rehabilitation plant seeds through cuttings of Ficus fistulosa tree trunks. The hope is that by utilizing the rehabilitation tree that tastes in the Pasirbatang Block, this tourism mobilizing farmer group can produce rehabilitation plant seeds and increase the opinions of its members.Keywords: Vegetative propagation, training, empowerment.��AbstrakFicus spp. merupakan tanaman yang dapat berperan penting dalam upaya peningkatan konservasi lingkungan maupun produktivitas hutan. Salah satu jenis nya adalah beunying (Ficus fistulosa) merupakan yang termasuk ke dalam tanaman rehabilitasi dan restorasi. Perbanyakan tanaman Ficus yang paling mudah dilakukan adalah dengan cara vegetatif atau stek batang. Oleh karena itu pengabdian kepada masyarakat menawarkan solusi berupa cara pembuatan bibit tanaman rehabilitasi melalui stek batang pohon Ficus fistulosa. Harapannya adalah dengan memanfaatkan pohon rehabilitasi yang berasa di Blok Pasirbatang ini kelompok tani penggerak pariwisata ini dapat menghasilkan bibit tanaman rehabilitasi serta meningkatkan pendapatn para anggotanya.Kata kunci : Perbanyakan vegetatif, pelatihan, pemberdayaan

The Relationship

Inositol phosphates (InsPs), especially myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6), are important binders of phosphorus and minerals in plant seeds. However, they have long been considered as anti-nutritional components of plant foods due to their possible negative effects on the absorption of minerals and proteins in mammals. On the other hand, recent findings have found InsPs to be ubiquitous in eukaryote cells and actively participating in multiple cell functions. In vivo and in vitro studies have also documented the preventive potential of these compounds against the development of a wide range of diseases. In light of these findings, interest in the relationship between these compounds and human health has been renewed. It is suggested that the interactions of InsPs with other nutrients in the gut are complex, that the absorption of dietary InsPs might be implied but is not certain, and that the disease fighting capabilities of InsPs hold both promises and limitations. At the same time, the analysis of these compounds in foods and biological samples still faces many challenges, calling for more advanced modification and developments in the future.
