To start with, I would like to warmly welcome the keynote speakers and all participants
of this symposium; it is a great pleasure to have you with us today. It is such kind of honor for
us, Mataram University, to become the organizer of the 1st International Symposium on
Agarwood and Aromatic Plants 2019 (1st ISAAP 2019). This International Symposium is a
collaboration between Mataram University and various institutions, i.e. the Government of West Nusa
Tenggara Province, The Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Center of South East Asian
Studies (CSEAS), Kyoto University, Japan. This program represents Mataram University’s effort in
gaining academic insight and confidence in exploring research potential. We hope that this symposium
will be able to transfer positive energy to every lecturer, student, and staff in Mataram University to
perform professionalism in teaching, research, and community development at national and even
international level.
As mentioned before, agarwood not only has research potential but also has high
economic value. Therefore, the research program in the Center of Excellent for Science and
Technology of Agarwood must be able to produce a featured product that capable to compete
at 4.0 industrial era. Until now, the Center of Excellent for Science and Technology of
Agarwood has been developed some featured product, for example: drugs, aromatherapy,
perfume, cosmetic, sensor, and many more. We greatly expect this symposium can transmit a
positive atmosphere for our researcher to invent more innovative research program and
encourage Mataram University to become a research-based university with international
quality.
Finally, once again I would like to convey the warmest welcome to all participants of this
symposium. I hope that we always intertwine a harmonious and synergic relation on the chance
to encourage research growth as well as science and technology development in Indonesia.
Hopefully, may Allah SWT bless us and this symposium. Aamiin yaa Robbal Alaamiin.
Alhamdulillah, let us always pray and praise our gratitude to the presence of Allah Almighty
God, because of His grace we can attend and enliven the 1st International Symposium on
Agarwood and Aromatic Plants. Blessings and greetings may always be devoted to the great
Prophet Muhammad SAW because He is a great role model for mankind in navigating our life
in this world.
Ladies and Gentlemen, let me start this speech by saying welcome to the keynote speakers,
moderators and participants in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), especially in this great and
hopefully blessing place. On behalf of the NTB provincial government and personally, I would
like to give a big appreciation to the Mataram University (UNRAM) in organizing this
symposium. This event will be a great and right moment for researchers and NTB young
generation to develop and enhance their knowledge and skills in research and industry in terms
of developing our region.
NTB is focusing on the development of the industrial sector both tourism and economic
empowerment. And agarwood is one of the best commodities from the local that can be
excellent in the industrial. Agarwood can be found growing in the wild and now agarwood is
one of the cultivation businesses with large turn over because of its high economic value. Its
raw materials and its products from it such as perfume and cosmetics are commodities in NTB.
Even, the agarwood product is exclusive in several countries such as in Middle East. Agarwood
However, there is agarwood exploitation because of its value, which makes these plants
become an endangered plant (according to the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)). Therefore, the NTB Government in
collaboration with UNRAM created a Center of Excellent for Science and Technology focussed
on agarwood. There are some objectives that we want to achieve. First of all, the initiation for
agarwood cultivation; and the second is developing and invent a new technology that can be
used to improve the quality and productivity of agarwood products.
Currently, NTB has succeeded in conducting agarwood cultivation which can be seen by
the increase number of farmers and entrepreneurs who cultivate agarwood. But on the other
hand, still, need more progress in developing and inventing the technology, as well as finding
the right market place for the products.
So, to overcome some of these problems, intensive research is needed to upgrade product
quality. As well as, in making and developing an Excellent Agarwood Research Center in
technology. Of course, to achieve these, it is necessary to hold cooperation from various
national and even international institutions. So that the realization of technology that can
improve the quality and productivity of agarwood processed. This is certainly an effort and
expected to increase the welfare of the people of NTB.
Once again, industry is a priority sector in developing our region. So, we expect that
agarwood can be an excellent commodity in both tourism and economic empowerment
industry. Through this event, hopefully, agarwood products in NTB can be widely known both
nationally and internationally. Through this event, we can share knowledge and experiences, so
that we can modify and apply science and technology to solve problems and improve the quality
of our research. As well as, we can establish an international cooperation. Once again, welcome

Abstract
Scientific studies on agarwood have been greatly advanced recently, and many papers on methods
for inducing oleoresins in tree trunks, phylogenetic relationships and species identification of relevant
species using sequencing techniques, or reviews on those papers were frequently published in many
types of scientific journals. Those increasing number of papers indicates that many people irrelevant to
their nationalities nor their scientific backgrounds are interested in agarwood.
The reason why so many people are interested in agarwood may lie in its peculiarity and rarity as
fragrant wood; however, it has long been used not only as aromatic material but as herbal medicine that
acts as sedative. Does this mean the smell of agarwood have sedative activity?
In order to answer this question, pharmacological studies using mice experiment systems were
performed for volatile fraction of heated agarwood [1-6]. Simultaneously, phytochemical analyses of
agarwood smell were performed on GC-MS and on HPLC to elucidate active principles [7].
Characteristic sesquiterpenes and low-molecular-weight- aromatic compounds were found to have
strong sedative activities.
Some more findings and insights on fragrant compounds with activities will be discussed in the
lecture.
Keywords: agarwood, sedative, pharmacology of smell

Abstract
Gyrinopswalla is the only naturally growing agarwood producing tree species in Sri Lanka. It had
no commercial recognition until its agarwood producing ability was scientifically identified in 2012.
This paved avenues for numerous researches. This paper illustrates some studies conducted on different
inoculation methods using fungal species and their substances.
The first attempt was made in 2014 to identify the potential fungal species that can be used at
commercial scale for agarwood formation in G. walla. The inhabiting fungal species were identified
from naturally formed agarwood tissues G. wallatrees of the wet zone of Sri Lanka. Those tissues
were size reduced, surface sterilised and placed in agar media to grow the inhabiting fungi which
were then isolated and identified with colony and morphological characteristics. Altogether, 4
Fusarium, 4 Trichoderma, 3 Aspergillus, 2 Botryosphaeria species and 1 species of each of
Diplocladium, Mucor and Sarcinomyces were identified. When re-inoculated as pure cultures, A.
nigerand F. solaniproduced the highest agarwood resin contents (0.82±0.07% and 0.73±0.06%
respectively) in G. wallaup to 50 cm above the inoculation point in 6 months. 16 and 15 key resin
constituents were identified from those resins formed by A. nigerand F. solanirespectively. Once 100
ml of spore suspensions of A. nigerand F. solaniin nutrient broth media were inoculated, the resin
contents were 0.37±0.06% and 0.40±0.18% respectively after 4 months with pale yellow to brown in
colour. Then potential of agarwood inducement using secondary metabolites was tested using different
strains of the same fungal species. For this reason, the above two fungal strains (ASP-U and FUS-
U) and two other strains (ASP-N of A. nigerand FUS-N of F. solani) were grown in agar media and
their secondary metabolites were extracted by filtering through a series of ceramic filters of
descending pore sizes. A bioassay conducted on G. wallaleaves confirmed the toxicity of secondary
metabolites only for ASP-U and FUS-U strains. Then, 50 ml of those were inoculated to G. wallaand
aftter 7 months, only ASP-U and FUS-U which were obtained from the naturally formed agarwood
produced resins while the other two strains were not productive. ASP-U produced resins (2.27±0.39%)
only up to ±20 cm from the inoculation point while FUS-U produced resins (4.21±0.47%) up to
±60 cm. The oil colour was yellow with 14 key constituents and dark yellowish brown with 24 key
constituents for ASP-U and FUS-U respectively. The results lead to assume that only some strains of
the same fungal species are capable of inducing agarwood. Secondary metabolites of the effective
fungal species can also be used for agarwood inducement which can be chemically manufactured at
commercial scale.

Abstract
As a high commercial value commodity, agarwood or gaharu tree can be extracted from various
parts of the tree. For that reason, agarwood tree has been heavily exploitated, particularly from genus of
Aquilaria and Gyrinops (Tymelaeaceae). The woody part of the tree especially heartwood is the most
sought due to its unique fragrances as a response to the injury in which fungus attack on the tree causes
physiological and chemical changes in the wood. Many research have been carried out on how the
mechanism occurs as well as tree improvement and production. However, research to detect and confirm
the presence of agarwood is still limited that may cause current gaharu harvest unsustainably due to trial
and error practices. Technology for non-destructive testing (NDT) carried out as from the standing trees
can be applied to detect and predict the existence of agarwood. Traditional knowledge based on visual
and natural signs has become the important step to determine the presence of agarwood that can be
complemented by technology to ensure the inside condition based on parameters detected. Technology
based on the measurement of sound wave velocity as well as electrical impedance parameter to assess
internal stem or wood characteristics has been developed in which those parameters will differ
depending on the density or other heterogeneous characteristics of wood in the tree. Other technologies
also have been developed to provide a rapid detection methods of wood property assessment. Near-
infrared (NIR) spectroscopy have been used widely to identify wood properties (e.g. chemical contents)
and the origin of agarwood.

Abstract
From 1965 onward, I have been working in tropical rainforest in Southeast Asian as a forest
ecologist. During staying in the forest, extensive researches on Agarwood were carried out. Almost all
the areas of Brunei, Kalimantan and Sabah, Sarawak in Borneo island were surveyed. Brunei is a unique
small country where 3 years were spent as a JICA expert in 1984 to 1986. During that time, forest
ecological studies in the peat swamp, Agathis and mixed dipterocarp forests were intensively carried
out. The first agarwood was measured in my permanent plot in K7, Andulau Burunei.
In Kalimantan, extensive fieldworks along major rivers such as Kayan, Barito, Mahakam and
Kapuas were carried out from the mouth of rivers to the top of the inner mountains. I met many agarwood
collectors in the forest and remote villages and interviewed how they are working in the forests. Similar
studies were done in Sarawak and Sabah in 1990’s. Overseas Chinese merchants who are living in the
local middle cities such as Tarakan, Miri, Balikpapan, Samarinda, Malinau and Marudi were also
interviewed to get information how to collect agarwood materials. The biggest market was Singapore,
at that time. Agarwood merchants in Ruby warehouse were visited many times to know the networks
between original production areas to Arab countries, China, Taiwan and Japan.
In this paper, agarwood trade network are shown based on the fieldworks in the last decade of 20
century.
Keywords: Borneo, Penan, Kalimantan, trade, network.

Abstract
This systematic review sought to determine whether preclinical biological and mechanistic
evidences of agarwood materials reported at multiple carcinogenic stages are significant to support
plausibility of agarwood materials as potential therapeutics for cancer. Agarwood materials have been
reported to have pre-clinical (in vitro and in vivo) evidences of anti-cancer effects in various types of
cancer, however the diverse range of types of agarwood species and materials as well as carcinogenesis
stage pose a challenge to discern the potential candidate or scheme for further work. More recent reports
on agarwood toxicity further complicates the search for the potential therapeutics. Study selection
criteria was determined based on framework outlined by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF)
International/University of Bristol (UoB). In addition, care was taken to follow PRISMA reporting
guidelines as closely as possible. Anti-cancer effect in the studies must be related to properties of
antigenotoxic, apoptosis, antioxidant, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, anti- attachment, anti-spreading,
anti-metastatic and anti-angiogenic. Papers that are published other than in English; review paper,
comments and opinions; short paper (less than 6 pages), poster keynote and abstract; and papers
published in 1900 and below are excluded. Search strategy was applied to selected electronic databases
including Scopus, Springerlink, Taylor & Francis Online, Cambridge Core, Pub MEDLINE, Oxford
Academic, Science Direct and Wiley Online Library. Number of 4473 studies were initially identified
and 860 studies were included following screening. After removing duplicates, 112 papers were further
analysed for eligibility.
Presently, 47 studies judged eligible. Interim findings showed several characteristic trends where
type of materials studied ranges from leaf, branch and essential oil; species studied are region/country
specific but types of cancer studied are not research group-specific. Initial conclusion from the
preclinical studies could be made where different species and types of agarwood material may have
effects at multiple carcinogenesis stage in various types of cancer.

Abstract
Bio-induction technology based on microbe is an eco-friendly and reasonable technology for
agarwood sustainable production to substitute wild agarwood high demand in international trading.
Nowadays, many agarwood production trees planted find everywhere by farmer groups, but agarwood
inoculant supply becomesa bottle neck for scaling up agarwood production in Indonesia.
Based on some results of analysis in laboratory, anti-oxidant and anti-fungal activity were examined
from agarwood cultivated. There were 50 endophytic fungi successfully isolated from Aquilaria
malaccensis, A. microcarpa, A. crassna, and Gyrinops versteegii. Apodus Oryzae and Diaporthe sp.
exhibited strong antioxidant activity. Pestalotiopsis theae and Curvularia sp. showed antifungal activity
against Fusarium solani. Agarwood from A. malaccensis and G. versteegii constituent compounds have
identified and analysis by GC-MS from seedlings and trees after inoculation, but more were deposited
in agarwood trees. Agarwood formation can be artificially stimulated by fungal induction. It means that
bio- induction promotes artificially induced agarwood formation in Aquilaria and Gyrinops in terms of
color, aromatic odor, and chemical constituents.
There isa strategy to increase sustainable agarwood production in Indonesia. It is possible local
government should make a model of agarwood production cluster with stakeholders in provincial level.
The mass production of inoculant of agarwood should be provided by government or private company
collaboration with research institute or national university, doingbenefit sharing cooperation with farmer
groups. The success level of agarwood cultivated product depends on effectiveness of fungal inoculant,
knowledge of farmers for doing inoculation process, and environment factors. The key factor that may
support sustainable agarwood productions are simple government regulation and marketing especially
for agarwood cultivated. They should have plan and support integrated facilities and design of‘one stop
services’ for agarwood industry in Indonesia.

Abstract
The distribution of flora species is strongly influenced by geological history, such as the age / type
of rock type and also by the separation / fracture / disjunction of the earth's crust. This happens to
Gyrinops species (Thymelaeaceae) in Indonesia. There are 9 species of Gyrinops in the world that it was
known, but this number will continue to increase in line with intensive exploration. Two species
(Gyrinops walla and G. vadalii) from Lao, Sri Lanka and 7 species of Gyrinops come from Indonesia
that were distributed in the east of Wallace line. Every species has a specific geography range, such as
G. versteegii has geographical range in the Lesser Sunda Island area; G. decipiens in Celebes; G.
moluccana in Moluccas; G. podocarpus in the bird's head area of Papua grows in lime stone; G.
salicifolia is distributed in the part of northern Papua as long as Nabire to Abeparma; G. ladermannii
grew as long as longitudinal of the central of Guinea; and G. caudata spread in the part of Southern
Papua as long as Merauke to Timika Papua.
However, each island is composed by several rocks which have different ages, for example
Sumbawa island, the rocks were composed by recent volcanic formation (similar to Lombok) and
Cenozoic formation and there is Sumbawa strait between Lombok island and Sumbawa island, and
Sumba fault , which separate between Sumbawa Besar and Bima, so Gyrinops species that come from
tree places have differentiation morphology, stem anatomy and sitology, it can be able to promote to
create new species. Similar to Gyrinops species in Sulawesi, according to geological history Sulawesi
island was composed of 4 Sula's that collides, so there are many trusts, stripes, faults and many kinds of
rocks that arrange. Those conditions will create new species of Gyrinops. Such as Gyrinops decipiens
from central Sulawesi it grew on Ophicine, and thera are 4 other types that are found growing other
rock, such as the intrusive rock which was divided in two parts by Palu-Koro fault (namely Kambuno
Mt in South Luwuk and Quarles Hill in Mamasa), Paleogene volcanics in Gorontalo and Pliocene-
Recent Volcanic in Minahasa.
Conservation of Gyrinops species trees in Indonesia specifically does not yet exist but the
conservation of the habitat of other species such as the yellow-crested parrot in Aki Jawi, in Halmahera
and species of black Orchid in Kaimana Papua, which contains eaglewood trees habitat.

Abstract
Oxidative stress induced by excessive and unopposed levels of reactive oxygen species in male
reproductive system results in impaired sperm quality, fertilization capacity and poor embryo
development. Our goal is to assess the potential effects of Aquilariamalaccensis (AM) leaves, a plant
with strong antioxidant property on early embryo development invitro and embryo quality following
fertilization with cyclophosphamide (CP) exposed rat sperm.
Twenty-four male Sprague Dawley rats were allocated into eight groups of three rats (n = 3):
control, CP only (200 mg/kg), AM only (100 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg) and CP + AM (100
mg/kg, 300 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg). Animals were sacrificed after 63 days of treatment and sperm from
caudal epididymis were taken for invitro fertilization (IVF) with oocytes from untreated female.
Fertilization, embryo division and embryo morphology were examined at 8- and 48-hours post
insemination and compared between groups. Statistical evaluations were performed using Chi-Square
test and Fisher’s exact test and p-value<0.05 was considered significant.
Administration of AM leave extract at 100 mg/kg/day to normal rats and CP-exposed rats has
significantly increased (p<0.05) the fertilization rate, early cleavage rate and embryo quality when
compared to CP only treated group. However, other groups showed no significant differences.
Overall, the present results indicate the potential of AM leave extract supplementation to improve
the fertility and early embryo development in male rat exposed to CP by inhibiting the oxidative
processes and scavenging free radicals.

Abstract
Gyrinops versteegii (Gilg.) Domke is one of the agarwood producer which endemically grows in
Indonesia, specifically in Lesser Sunda, Sulawesi, and Papua. Unlike the renowned agarwood from the
species of genus Aquilaria, the G. versteegii is not yet familiar by many people in agarwood world. Few
researches showed that G. versteegii produces high quality resin with many potential secondary
metabolites. The metabolites in G. versteegii tend to be similar to the Aquilaria’s which has been
directed to use as drugs and cosmetic, which is focused as subject of this review.

Abstract
For many years, most researches involving agarwood mainly focused on extracting the agarwood
oil from the infiltrated resin, the most sought non-timber forest product from Aquilaria species which
has high demand and prices. This led to other parts of this valuable plant species being considered as
waste. Thisinclude the agarwood hydrosol (byproduct produced during the water distillation). Hydrosol
has been reported to retain certain aromaticsof its primary essential oil. Therefore, the present study is
conducted to identify the composition of the agarwood hydrosol extractsfromAquilaria species by using
gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). From the analysis, there were a total of 46, 48, 40,
53, 58 and 62 compounds detected in hydrosol extract samples of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively.
Accordingly, the oxygenated and phenolic compounds were found to be present in all hydrosol extract
samples. The detected phenolic compounds include Phenol, 2,5-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl)-,.Phenol, 2,4-
bis (1,1-dimethylethyl)- and 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, methyl ester. These compounds are believed to

Abstract
Aquilaria malaccensis or locally known as ‘gaharu’ is a species of Aquilaria genus and belongs to
the Thymelaeaceae family. It is widely distributed in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Borneo Islands.
Traditionally, its leaves were used to relieve bruises and studies have shown that they function as an
antioxidant, aphrodisiac, and tranquilizer. Despite its proven beneficial medicinal properties,
information regarding its toxicity is limited. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the
toxicity effect of A. malaccensis leaves aqueous extract (AM) on sperm quality and testicular histology.
The OECD Guideline 421 was selected to evaluate the male reproductive toxicity analysis which
comprised of control group (distilled water) and three AM-treated groups (100, 300 and 500mg/kg). 63
days of oral administration was carried out prior to the male necropsy. The epididymal sperm was
evaluated for motility, concentration, viability and morphology. The testicular section was processed
using routine histological process and evaluated semi-quantitatively using the Johnsen testicular biopsy
score followed by histomorphometric analysis.
There were no statistically significant (p>0.05) difference in the sperm concentration, motility,
viability and morphology of AM-treated groups compared to the control group. All AM-treated groups
indicated comparable mean Johnsen testicular biopsy score with the control group. The diameter of the
seminiferous tubules and the mean height of the germinal epithelium were not significantly different
(p>0.05) in comparison to control group. The data obtained revealed that AM did not exhibit toxicity on
male reproductive system and the no observed adverse effect level for male reproductive toxicity was
˃500mg/kg via oral route.
Keywords: Aquilaria malaccensis, male toxicity, sperm analysis, testicular histology.

Abstract
Aquilaria is a species of Agarwood which is well known by many names of Gaharu in Malay, Chen
xiang in China, Jin-ko in Japan and Oud in Arab countries. It is one of the most sought-after trees in the
world, for its many uses and valuable properties. Aside from the widespread use in the fragrance
industry, Agarwood has many applications in medicine. It is traditionally reported to be able to cure
many diseases such as joint-pain, diabetics and inflammatory-related ailment and diarrhoea. Thus, this
article is to discuss the applicability of Agarwood in Traditional Malay Medicine (TMM) documented
in old Malay text or manuscripts. The main source of manuscripts is from the collection of the Centre
of Malay Manuscript, National Library Malaysia. The scope of discussion comprises the prescriptions
of TMM that include Agarwood as one of the elements of the remedies, types of diseases, process of
preparing the prescription, method of treatment as well as taboos. Findings from this work is expected
to be able to verify the traditional use of Agarwood towards the discovery of new evident-based
alternative medicine while safeguarding TMM as national heritage.
Keywords: Agarwood, Medical manuscript, Gaharu, TMM.

Abstract
Agarwood is a non-timber forest product having high economic value; however, its population
in nature is getting decrease. Gyrinopsversteegii, an agarwood- producing plant, has been listed in
Apendix II CITES; therefore, hunting the agarwood in nature must be reduced. An effort to reduce the
agarwood hunting in the nature is agarwood cultivation. Agarwood cultivation includes cultivation of
agarwood-producing plant and agarwood inoculation. Some of agarwood inoculation methods are
simpori and implant technique.
Simpori is a modified inoculation method using porous nail and Fusarium solani, meanwhile
implant technique use drill and piece of wood that is soaked in F. solani spores. The present study aimed
to determine the best inoculation technique applied to G. versteegii tree trunk at height of 4 – 5 meter.
This study using completely randomizes design with 2 treatments (simpori and implant technique) and
9 replications.
The result showed that the agarwood produced at 6 months after inoculation was not significant
in all treatment. The rendemen average of agarwood production produced by simpori and implant
technique are 0.66 and 0.64 % respectively. Based on SNI 7631:2011, the visual quality of agarwood
equaled to kemedangan TG.C. In conclusion, Simpori and implant technique produce agarwood in
similar quality and quantity at 6 months inoculation, however simpori more practical for application in
the field.

Abstract
Agarwood is a resinous product containing secondary metabolites produced by Thymelaeaceae,
which requires a very long accumulation in nature. Therefore, various induction techniques have been
explored to artificially induce agarwood in cultivated plants and to shorten its process. In this study, one
of the most abundant agarwood-producing trees in Indonesia, namely Gyrinopsversteegii was injected
and inoculated with two different strains of endophytic fungi Fusariumsolani isolated from Gorontalo
and Jambi Provinces. The results revealed that the inoculated G. verstegii generates extensive resinous
zone on the wood tissues. Gas chromatography (GC-MS) analysis of the fungal treated samples allowed
the detection of several agarwood markers such as Alloaromadendrene, beta-Eudesmol and beta-
Selinene of sesquiterpenes and chromones derivatives including 2-(2-phenylethyl) chromen-4-one, 6-
methoxy-2-(2-phenylethyl) chromen-4-one dan 6,7-dimethoxy-2-(2- phenylethyl) chromen-4-one.
Taken together, this technique would be beneficial not only to develop the induction of artificial
agarwood, but also to stimulate it rapid accumulation in cultivated agarwood producing trees.

Abstract
The agarwood has been known to Arabs since very long time.
Hundreds of years before the Prophet Muhammad's mission, the Arabs
used the agarwood. Arabs use agarwood in their joys and sorrows and in
religious and social occasions. agarwood was and still is a manifestation
of their daily lives. Agarwood has more than forty names among Arabs,
this is a great indication of how interested they are.The ancient Arabs set
accurate standards for the quality of the agarwood.In presentation using
the power point, more details will be unveiling.
The author has been granted the Ph.D degree from Mohammed

Abstract
Eaglewood cultivation in West Nusa Tenggara Barat has been carried out from 1995 until now, both
individually and through government programs. The involvement of farmers in developing agarwood in
NTB is quite large. This cultivation activity is carried out on privately owned gardens of community
forest lands and yards. This has been done directly involved in cultivation activities carried out in
accordance with ability. The problem currently faced is that agarwood cultivation can improve the
welfare of farmers. Farmers' efforts and strategies to increase income from agarwood cultivation. 1.
Doing nurseries 2. Planting agarwood to replace plants that have been harvested. 3. Perform inoculation
with nails & microbes.4. Selling seeds and seeds.
The current marketing of agarwood by farmers is still difficult because the issue of the quality of
agarwood, pig or oil products is only bought by local entrepreneurs so that they are not in favor of
farmers. Sale of aloes agarwood is currently in reduced demand from outside the region.
The hope of farmers to all stakeholders’ aloes lovers to help farmers process agarwood into high
quality products and can be marketed by farmers and specifically the government to provide agarwood
distillation tools for farmers.

Abstract
In association with plants, fungi can act as plant endophytes, pathogens, and saprobes. Endophytic
fungi are a group of fungi that live in their host tissues without causing diseases. Its presence in the host
tissues can be beneficial to the host. Endophytic fungi in Gyrinops is still needs to be explored while the
existence of this plant in nature continue to decrease.
The aims of this study was to characterise the morphology and growth of Phomopsis sp. and
Aspergillus sp., two endophytic fungi isolated from Gyrinops versteegii. The plant samples usedin this
studywere collected from Pusuk Forest, West Lombok, Indonesia. The cutting parts of plant
wereinoculated on Potato Dextrose Agarplate.Twenty isolates obtained from Gyrinops versteegii. Two
of the isolate are Phomopsis sp. and Aspergillus sp. On Potato Dextrose Agar, the colony of Phomopsis
sp. formedwhite miselium, texture floccose, filamentous, margin filiform and elevation umbonate;
hyphae hyaline, septate; conidia oval to fusoid; and produced yellow-orange soluble pigments.
Mycelium with pink concentric ring are formed after 5 - 6 days old culture and umbonate mass of
mycelium in the center of colony are formed after 23 - 30 days old culture. The colony grow at a rate
10,25 mm per day. The colony of Aspergillus sp. formed white miselium, texture floccose, filamentous,
margin filiform and elevation raise; hyphae hyaline, septate; conidiophore with inflated apical cell and
thin in cell wall; spore smooth, rounded, and hyaline. Pale yellow mass in the center of colony are
formed after 5 days old culture. Soluble pigment is absent. The colony grow at a rate 9,5 mm per day.

Abstract
Agarwood is known as valuable non-timber forest products, especially its essential oil for
different usages. The fact, the existence Aquilaria sp producing agarwood from forests is becoming
difficult to obtain. Therefore, an effort for producing agarwood from plantation using artificial means is
crucially needed. Organic nutrient injection was used to feed the endophytic microbes forming
agarwood. The objective of this research was to study the effects of nutrient injection on agarwood
formation. Organic nutrients were injected into Aquilaria filaria of 19 years old. The organic nutrient
consisted of molasses (20%), citronella oils (5%), coconut water (25%), agarwood hydrosol (10%) and
date palm vinegar (10%), jasmine oils (5%), and distillate water (25%). Nutrient pH and sugar content
was adjusted to 4.5 and 15% brix prior to injection. Injection holes were made using boor machine of 2
mm in diameter until 1/3 of diameter depth. Horizontal distance of injection holes was 4 cm, and 10 cm
for vertical distance. Organic nutrients were injected every month for 6 months. The harvested agarwood
was distillated using cohobation methods and analyzed using GC-MS. The results showed that organic
nutrient injection for 6 months was able to induce the agarwood formation and essential oils. Some
endophytic fungi was also developed surrounding the injection holes. The GC-MS analysis showed that
the main chemical component in agarwood was 1,2 Benzenedicarboxyl acid, dioctyl ester (CAS) dioctyl
phthalate (DOP) found in brown withes and dark brown agarwood, 93.29% and 91.35%, respectively.
It is possible that those compounds plays important role in forming agarwood in longer period. The
burning agarwood produced light agarwood smell, but Agarospirol compound was not detected in GC-
MS analysis.

Abstract
Agarwood, a scented oleoresins formed in the heartwood of Aquilaria sp. has become precious
non-timber commodity from South East Asia forest for centuries. High value of agarwood derived from
woody, warm, sweet, nutty or spicy scented characters of sesquiterpenes (SQTs), namely agarofuran,
jinkohol, guaiene, etc. The worth of agarwood is the reason of uncontrolled logging of Aquilaria plant
in their native habitat which leads the inclusion of many plant species of this genus into the red list of
threatens species by IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). Perfumery industries
which use agarwood as a raw material in their production process concern to the growing need of
consumer in environmentally friendly product with sustainable development.
As natural agarwood plant become extinction, this research aims to produce agarwood high
valuable SQTs from A. filaria cells suspension cultures. The technique employs elicitation using yeast
extract elicitor and sucrose as a carbon source. The result revealed both yeast extract elicitor and
additional sucrose feeding induce the synthesis of jinkohol and acorenone. Besides, the addition of yeast
extract elicitor and increasing concentration of sucrose enhance significantly the synthesis of jinkohol
and acorenone. Long term cell suspension culture experiment confirmed that jinkohol and
acorenoneinitially detected at eleven days of culture. The prevalence SQTs emitted from A. filaria
suspension cultures were α-guaiene, δ-guaiene and α-humulene.
Keywords: elicitation, perfumery, sucrose, yeast extract.

Abstract
Agarwood was as known a material containing the resin, parfume, and bioactive compounds that
produced by agarwood plant producer. Among several plant producer, Gyrinopsversteegii is the one
where endemic at Nusa Tenggara Barat Province. Agarwood containing chromone and sesquiterpene
derivatives as the main constituents using for cosmetics and perfume [1][2][3]. The aim of this research
is to investigate the production of agarwoodconsituentsby callus induction ofG. versteegii. As the
results, the threatment of MS medium with combination of growth hormone 2,4-D:kinetin (1:1 and 2:1,
respectively) show the callus induction. The average of initial callus was induced at 25 days of
incubation time with compact texture and indicated brownish yellow color. LC-MSMS analysis showed
that callus produced 2,2-phenylethylchromone and α-humulene compounds.

producing trees. In the Province of Riau, cultivation of agarwood has been developed since 2012,
concentrated in Siak Sri Indapura and Kampar Districts. This study aims to determine the pattern of
development and ecological conditions of agarwood trees land and economic evaluation of agarwood
cultivation by comunity in Riau Province. Each location of agarwood cultivation is directly observed
(descriptive) including spacing, types of plants, physical condition of plants, and soil sampling to
determine soil nutrient elements. The species of agarwood-producing trees found is
Aquilariamalaccensis which is found in 7 locations of agarwood cultivation with agroforestry patterns,
where the agarwood- producing trees are mixed with palm oil, rubber and other fruit crops. Climatic
conditions at the cultivation site have an average temperature of 35 OC, with 57% humidity. The average
soil pH of 6.2 is acidic, while the soil nutrients P, Ca, K, Mg, Na, N and C in each location do not show
a significantly different. Economic evaluations from planting to obtaining results do not show significant
benefits because they are still constrained by inoculation techniques that have not yet developed and the
difficulty of obtaining the best inoculant producing agarwood. The development of cultivation
techniques of agarwood-producing plants must be standardized and can be widely applied so that people
are motivated to cultivate agarwood- producing trees.

Abstract
Agarwood is a fragrant resinous wood mainly used in incense and perfume. Agarwood plantation
business emerged in tropical countries from 1990 because of decreasing wild populations and its high
economic benefit. Community and Government in Central Bangka Regency, Indonesia, established
agarwood plantations since 2001. However, after the planting activities, there was no expansion of the
plantation business in the area. One of the reasons of this situation is the lack of scientific evaluation of
the plantation business. This study aims to evaluate the plantation from ecological and economical
viewpoints. The study consists of the establishment of the ecological simulation model of plantation
forest growth and products and the financial model based on the plantation growth model in Central
Bangka.
The study conducted at the mixed plantations of agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis) and rubber
wood which is the most common plantation designin the area. Twelve trees, including fourtrees
inoculated with microbes to enhance resinous wood formation, were felled to make allometry equation
of agarwood biomass to estimate the above ground biomass and agarwood products; leaves for tea, non-
resin wood for oil and powder and the resinous wood weight. Resinous wood's percentage were
estimated using scanned image of stem disc samples of the inoculated sample trees. The economical
evaluation was assumingthe several harves tingschedules and financial feasibility was determine dusing
NPV, BCR, and IRR. The simulation was repeated by changing the assumption on resin ous wood
quality and all the non-resinous wood converted into oil and powder.
The best allometry of stem weight (Ws) was Log10Ws = 0.8203 Log10 (dbh2 H) - 1.3672. The
weight of other part of trees also estimated using the power-function allometric equations. From a
hectare of the mixed agarwood rubber wood plantation, resinous wood product was estimated to be 0.80
Mg/ha, agarwood oil 6.91 L/ha, leaves product 0.81Mg/ha, and powder 2.3 Mg/ha, at 11 year plantation.
For simulation if the resinous wood is sold, NPV at year 11 was Rp.1,539,590,185 (¥ 11,842,924). The
IRR was 87%, B/C ratio was 3.20. The simulation results for all the option was feasible financially.
Even the case when all the wood used to produce oil and powder and no resinous wood was collected
also generated income to the farmer in our simulation. Good inoculant possibly increases the amount of
resinous wood and income for the farmers. Our results are a prediction from the simulation models and
need to be confirmed by the actual harvestdata.

Abstract
The agarwood species of Aquilaria and Gyrinops are listed in Appendix II CITES. In Indonesia,
they consisted of 13 species distributed from Sumatra to Papua. This study aimed to examine the
phylogenetic relationship of the Indonesia agarwood. We use nuclear as well as chloroplast DNA.
Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) was used for the nuclear data. While four regions of chloroplast ie.
rbcL, matK, trnL-trnF intergenic spacer and trnH-psbA intergenic spacer were used in the study.
Phylogenetic analysis showed that the ITS and trnL- F data produced more resolved trees, while the data
from other regions showed many polytomies. All data showed that Aquilaria and Gyrinops were
paraphyletic. Maximum Likelihood (ML) analyses of the ITS and trnL-F data resulted in a phylogenetic
tree with similar topologies. Gyrinops walla and Aquilaria khasiana from Ceylon and India are basal
species close to the outgroup. ML analysis of the trnL-F data resulted in a tree with five clades (G.
walla-A. khasiana clade; A. crassna-A. subintegra-A. rostrata clade; A. beccariana-A. hirta-A.
malaccensis-A. microcarpa clade; A. yunnanensis-A. sinensis-A. rugosa clade; and Gyrinops spp.-A.
filaria-A. cumingiana-A.urdanetensis clade). Whereas ML analysis of the ITS data resulted in a tree
with 6 clades (G. walla clade; A. crassna-A. subintegra-A. sinensis clade; A. rugosa-A. yunnanensis
clade; A. cumingiana-G. versteegii clade; Gyrinops spp. clade; and A. beccariana-A. hirta-A.
malaccensis-A. microcarpa clade). The clades in the ITS and trnL-F tree has a unique geographic
distribution. A. sinensis, A. rostrata, A. cumingiana and G. versteegii were placed in different clades in
the tree based on ITS and trnL-F data. The rest of the species of the Agarwood were embedded in the
same clades in the tree based on both molecular data. The Indonesian agarwood are not monophyletic
and all of them are sister to the species from Ceylon or India.

Abstract
Black Magic Wood (BMW) is the residual product of agarwood that has not received much
attention. Even though in terms of production quantity in tree units, BMW actually has the highest
quantity. This study intends to examine the parties involved in BMW trading and who has the dominant
role. This study concludes that agarwood farmers are the smallest parties to get the biggest burden and
get the smallest profit. The price received by farmers is very low, inversely proportional to the level of
costs incurred. The second party with a small profit level is the agarwood craftsman. These craftsmen
only get wages from the work of producing BMW raw materials. The party who gets the biggest profit
is the big trader. From the investation point of view it is indeed large, but the benefits obtained are far
greater than the investation incurred. In trading practice, there are two levels of dominance. In the field,
traders of BMW materials collectors are very dominant in determining the prices of BMW raw materials.
Farmers have a small bargaining position in BMW mareting chain. Meanwhile at the BMW market
level, large traders have a large degree of dominance in determining the products should be produced
by BMW craftman via BMW collectors. For this reason, efforts are needed to build a more equitable
marketing chain. The solution includes building stronger institutions at the farm level. Agarwood
farmers need to build farmer groups to strengthen farmer institutions and improve their bargaining
position in front of other parties. Next, it is necessary to build a farmer cooperative to accommodate
BMW's agarwood production independently. Thus farmers do not sell in the form of tree stands, but
already in the form of BMW raw material products. This effort is also to cut the trading chain so that it
is shorter. Farmers who are members of a cooperative can directly sell to large traders so that they get
greater profits with a better bargaining position.
Keywords: black magic wood, farmer, marketing chain, agarwood.
Abstract
Source plants of agarwood are continuously decreasing their number in wild, and they were listed
in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
in 2005; however, these source species are hardly identified by morphological characteristics of leaves
and trunks.
According to the Japanese Standards for Non-Pharmacopoeial Crude Drugs 2018 (Non- JPS
2018), five species in the genus Aquilaria have been designated as source species for agarwood. In order
to identify source species without morphological characteristics, a DNA barcoding method for agarwood
was developed. Agarwood pieces derived from Gyrinops species were found in the Japanese market
using this method and reported in our previous report.
In this study, the barcoding method was applied to collected plant materials and commercial
agarwood samples from Sumbawa, Lombok, Sulawesi, and Kalimantan islands in Indonesia. As a result,
it was turned out that source plant species were different from island to island and both plants of
Aquilaria and Gyrinopswere found among the samples. Gyrinops plants are not currently listed as source
species for agarwood in Non-JPS 2018, though, they shall be added to the list for source plant according
to this result. Appropriate expanding of source species for agarwood may help reducing a risk of
depletion of the resources.

Abstract
The research on trees of producing agarwood can be carried out based on their anatomical
characteristics to help on identifying agarwood based on the eaglewood species, so that it can be used
as a key character for classification based on the anatomical evidence. Agarwood producing trees are
included to Thymelaeaceae family, one of their genus is Gyrinops. Stem anatomical structure producing
of agarwood trees species of Gyrinops has different shapes, sizes and arrangements. The purpose of this
study was to determine the variation of the stem anatomical structure (i.e. cortex: sclerenchyma, phloem;
xylem: trachea, rays, interxylary phloem and wood parenchyma; and pith) of Gyrinops (Thymelaeaceae)
in Sulawesi.
The method of this research was descriptive exploration. Stem agarwood sample came from several
regions areas of Sulawesi which were collected by Agarwood Research Center Laboratory, Faculty of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Mataram. The slide methods were used permanent
slides (paraffint) and fresh slides.
The results of this research showed there were1 species of Gyrinops decipiens Ding Hou and 3
species of Gyrinops sp., with various anatomical characters in G. decipiens and Gyrinops sp. in terms
of the position, diameter and percentage of pith thickness; sclerenchyma cortex pattern and arrangement
of wood parenchyma. There were also variations in cortex thickness; diameter, frequency and
arrangement of trachea; frequency of rays; diameter, and interxylary phloem frequency; pith diameter;
and the position of Ca- Oxalate in Gyrinops sp.3 with Gyrinops sp. 1 and 2, while Gyrinops sp.2 with
Gyrinops sp.1 there were found 5 variations such as the diameter, frequency and arrangement of trachea;
arrangement of rays and interxylary phloem length.

Abstract
Zingiberaceae is the largest tribe of the order Zingiberales, there are 53 genera with more than
1,500 species around the world and most of them are found in tropical forests. This plant is very popular
among the people because Zingiberaceae have distinctive characteristics such as rhizome which contains
essential oil and distinctive aroma therefor this plant often called an aromatic plant. Zingiberaceae is
found in tropical forests that have sufficient humidity with high rainfall. One of the habitats commonly
shelter or under the trees standsuch as the Mother Plant Garden of Eaglewood, Pusuk, West Lombok,
West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.This research was conducted on August 21 to September 21, 2019

Abstract
Herpetofauna which comprised by amphibians and reptiles are important organisms for
stabilization of the faunal community structure in the ecosystems with their act as secondary and tertiary
consumers in food web organization. These taxa groups gave indirect ecosystem services such as disease
control, agricultural pets control, and seeds dispersed. This study collected eleven species of
herpetofauna from eaglewood (Gyrinops versteegii ) conservation forest of Pusuk-Lombok, is
comprised by four species of amphibians (Duttaphrynus melanostictus, Ingerophrynus biporcatus,
Limnonectes dammarmani and Limnonectes kadarsani) and seven species of reptiles (Ahaetulla prasina,
Cyrtodactylus petani, Dendrelaphis pictus, Draco volans, Eutropis multifasciata, Gekko gecko,
Sphenomorpus melanopogon and Sybinopis geminatus). Based on stomach content analysis, both of
these animal groups commonly are insectivorous. Amphibians are general predator which hymenoptera,
coleoptera, orthoptera and chilopoda are the most their important food, whereas the small arboreal reptils
such as skink and gecko are specialis predator which caterpillar of moth and hymenoptera (especially
an ants) are the dominantly of their stomach content.

Abstract
Eaglewood is one of the high-value non-timber forest products in the world including in Indonesia,
where Lombok and Sumbawa are potential producing areas of Gyrinops versteegii (Thymelaceae). The
purpose of this research is to record and describe the various reported uses of Gyrinops versteegii by
local people of the two islands, so that the potential of Gyrinops versteegii can be explored, developed,
and efforts to support its preservation can also be considered in the future. This study used
ethnobotanical methods in general, i.e observation, interviews, documentation, and also a comparison
of related literature. Basically, there are severalreported uses of Gyrinops versteegii on Lombok and
Sumbawa Island, where nurseries and the wood utilization are the most familiar types of use for the
community. It is hoped that this study couldbe a complement information for research and development
of eaglewood or agarwood, not only in Indonesia but also throughout the world.

Abstract
Agarwood is derived from resinous part of Thymelaceae plants especially Aquilaria, Gyrinops
and Gonystylus species and are listed as endangered in the appendix of CITES. People in the producing
country such as Indonesia, have been making agarwood by intentional wounding and using chemicals
on cultivated plants. Resulting agarwood varies in quality, although, relationship between methods and
variety of constituents is not known yet. Chromone derivatives, sesquiterpenes and low molecular
weight aromatic compounds are principal compounds detected from agarwood, and we focused on
chromone derivatives in this study.
Methods are as follows: Aquilaria sinensis trees grown in same condition (Yakushima, Japan)
and same period were treated either by iron nails, chemical reagents or other means. Sixty-five month
after the treatment, resinous parts were harvested and extracted by AcOET and then water. Extracts were
analyzed by LC-MS to obtain patterns of chromatograms. Compounds were identified by comparing
retention time and MS patterns with their standard compounds. Further, artificial agarwood purchased
at market of agarwood producing countries were also analyzed with the same methods.
As a result, some chromone compounds including 2-(2-phenylethyl) chromone and
oxidoagarochromone derivatives, which are characteristic to agarwood were detected from artificial
agarwood on LC-MS. The amount and species of compounds were different among different treatments.
In present study, the constituents were compared among agarwood occurred in the same plant-
species in the same condition by different treatments, and they showed different species and amounts of
constituents. Previous studies often described generation process of resinous portions with a single
treatment and this study is different from them in the point that we compared between different
treatments. Our results may give leads to the improvement of quality evaluation and methods if treatment
for agarwood in future.

Abstract
Agarwood is one of the natural products that has a high selling value. Aroma is one of the
parameters observed in determining the quality of agarwood and the selling value of agarwood. To be
able to measure the aroma of an agarwood requires an instrumentation system that is accurate, portable,
and economical. In this research an instrumentation system was built to classify agarwood (Gyrinops
versteegii), an electronic experiment system. This instrumentation system consists of a hardware system
with a resistive gas sensor consisting of TGS822, TGS2610 and TGS2620, a heating system and a
software system with MatLab 2015a and Arduino IDE that have used artificial neural network systems.
The hardware system works to read data from the results of agarwood installation and the software
system works to acquire data and carry out a quality classification process using an artificial neural
network system from reading the hardware system consisting of ADC value data.
The results show that the existing system in this electronic system can measure and clas sify
agarwood. Grynops versteegii which provides good quality in artificial neural networks [1 -1] and its
lower quality that is connected to artificial neural net- works as [-11].

Abstract
Agarwood producing plant is a precious plants particularly in Asia. In Indonesia, the plants are
distributed in Borneo, Sumatera, Nusa Tenggara, Papua, Sulawesi, Java, and Moluccas. Several species
of the plants are grown in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara i.e. Gyrinops versteegii, Gonystylus bancanus,
and G. macrophylus. G. versteegii is a most preferred endemic agarwood producing plant from Lombok.
The plant is wellknown for its resin production.The production of resin from agarwood tree is commonly
using inoculation methods. Several inoculation methods have been applied by the community. Likewise,
the research interest on G. versteegii mostly on its resin production. However, the species have not been
widely investigated as source of natural medicine, particularly antioxidant agent. The antioxidant
capacity of G. versteegii leaves have been reported, however, its resin produced after inoculation are
less studied. The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of agarwood produced
after repeated inoculation of G. versteegii.
The inoculation was conducted in repetition of every 0, 3, and 6 months. Furthermore, the agarwood
were harvested after 7 and 18 months inoculation. The samples were extracted in methanol and evaluated
their antioxidant activity using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay at
concentration of 800 µg/ml. The result indicated that the more repetition will produce the lower
antioxidant activity. In addition, the results showed that generally a longer harvest time will produce
higher antioxidant activity. The highest antioxidant activity was shown by the sample after 18 months
inoculation (86.54±0.68%). The repetition of inoculation and the time of harvest give effects on
secondary metabolites production. As impact, it affect their antioxidant activity. The antagonistic and
synergetic interaction between secondary metabolites involved in the agarwood may contribute to the
antioxidant activity.
In general, repetition of inoculation might affect the production of secondary metabolites that have
responsible for the scent of agarwood. However, the agarwood produced without repetition of
inoculation is preferred. This is the first study reported the evaluation of antioxidant activity from
agarwood after repetition of inoculation. Furthermore, the result of the present study will contribute and
can be considered for the development of research on agarwood, particularly G. versteegii.
Keywords: Gyrinops versteegii, agarwood, inoculation, antioxidant.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the toxicity of agarwood (Gyrinops versteegii (Gilg.) Domke) leaf
methanol extract as an initial screening of anticancer agents. Toxicity tests were carried out using the
brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT) method then fractionated using vacum liquid chromatography (VLC)
with a mixture of solvents elution (n-hexane and ethyl acetate). The results showed that the crude
methanol extract was much more toxic than all the VLC’s fractionsas it showed in the Table 1. Thus, it
is indicating the possible synergism effect from the bioactive compoundsin the methanol extract. To
conclude, the methanol extract of agarwood (Gyrinops versteegii (Gilg.) Domke) leaf has a great
potential to be developed as an anticancer agent.

Abstract
Gyrinops versteegii (Gilg.) Domkeis one of the agarwood species that endemically grow in
Lombok island. This plant has been utilized as a traditional medicine to treat kidney disorders,
painkillers, cancer, diarrhea, relieving stress, asthma, hepatitis and malaria. However, a bioactivity study
of this species has not been widely reported. Therefore, this research is aimed to study the bioactivity of
the stem bark of Gyrinops versteegii as a medicine, particularly for anti-cancer. The bark samples were
extracted using methanol for 3x24 hours, then the crude extract toxicity was tested using Brine Shrimp
Lethality Test (BSLT).
The test showed that the extract has LC50 values of 73.28 ppm. By the standards (toxic if
LC50<1000 ppm), the bark extract of agarwood (Gyrinops versteegii (Gilg.) Domke) has a great
potential as an anti-cancer agents.

Abstract
Agarwood leaves (Gyrinopsversteegii (Gilg.) Domke) are expected to posses high antioxidant
activity as they reported to containphenol, flavonoid andtannin, an antioxidant agent. Antioxidant is an
important component in human’s body as it absorb and neutralize the free radical. Therefore, this
research aims to study the antioxidant activity from methanol extract of agarwood leaves
(Gyrinopsversteegii (Gilg.) Domke). The extraction method that used here was maceration, using
methanol as a solvent. The crude extract then tested for its antioxidant activity using the DPPH method
by measuring its absorbance at the maximum wavelength at 517 nm using UV-Vis spectrofotometer
with vitamin c (ascorbic acid) as the standard. The result of this test showed that the IC50 value of
methanol extract of agarwood leaves (Gyrinopsversteegii (Gilg.) Domke) is 45,74 ppm, which means it
have a high antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Shiso (Perilla frutescens Britton var. crispa W. Deane (Labiatae)) is an annual plant of Labiatae
and has unique fragrance. Its growing area spreads from India to East Asia and it is used as a flavored
and colored vegetable in Japan.The plant is also used as a traditional medicine; leaves of which both
sides are purple and with strong fragrance areconsidered as good product and are used for the purpose
of antitussive expectoration and sedation. Biosynthesis of its essential oil component is genetically
controlled and varieties of chemotypes can be found among them. In this study, we focused on
rosmarinic acid, an anti- inflammatory and anti-oxidant component, contained in perilla and other
Labiatae plants and compared its content in cultivated and wild species of perilla. Factors for different
content of rosmarinic acid were investigated especially for the genetic background by growing perilla
plants under controlled conditions. The relationship between rosmarinic acid and oil types was also
examined. Further investigations on rosmarinic acid in perilla will be discussed in the presentation.

Abstract
Agarwood is one of the commercially important commodities in the world market. However, its
production is limited due to lengthy time process, occurred very randomly, and decreasing number of
agarwood producing trees such as Aquilaria malaccensis in nature.
This research was established in in-vitro condition to evaluate the production of secondary
metabolites in Aquilaria malaccensis thin layer culture upon elicitation with methyl jasmonate (MeJA)
and crude extract of Fusarium solani strain Gorontalo (GSL1) or Jambi (GSL2). Elicitation was
performed by adding elicitors to A. malaccensis shoot culture grown in ½ MS liquid medium. Secondary
metabolite profile was analyzed by Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).
The results showed that chromone were detected after 3 weeks of co-culture time in the treatment
MeJA 12.5 and 25 μM. Styrene and D-Limonene which are compound of agarwood were detected in
the treatment GSL1 and GSL2. Thus, elicitation treatment induced higher production of secondary
metabolite compounds compared with control group with no treatment.

Abstract
Aquilaria malaccensisis a common agarwood-producing tree cultivated in Indonesia. The
agarwood formation can be induced by biological and chemical agents. Induced secondary metabolites
production in A. malaccensisin vitrocan be used as an alternative method to study the formation of
agarwood compounds. Thus, this study aimed to observe the effect of elicitation by F. solaniGSL1 and
GSL2 strains, and methyl jasmonate on the growth and secondary metabolite production in A.
malaccensiscallus culture. A. malacceniscalluswas induced on Murashige-Skoog (MS) medium with the
addition of 2 ppm 2,4-D (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and 0,1 ppm (6-Benzylaminopurine) BAP.
Callus was subsequently subcultured to MS medium supplemented with 8 mg/L GSL1, GSL 2, and
MeJA 100 μM. Callus culture was incubated for 20 days in dark conditionatroom temperature. Callus
biomass was measured to determine growth rate and cell viability. Furthermore, callus was subjected to
GC-MS to determine the profile of secondary metabolites. The results showed that the treatments with
GSL1, GSL2, and MeJA did not significantly influence callus growth rate, but decreased cell viability
in the GSL1 (24%), GSL2 (17,1%), and MeJA (35%) treatments. GC-MS analysis showed that a typical
agarwood compound, chromone (6-methoxy-2- (4-methoxyphenetyl) -4H-chromen-4-on) was detected
in both GSL2 and MeJA-treated callus culture. It can be concluded that both fungal extract and
MeJAcould be employed to elicit the production of agarwood compounds in A. malaccensiscallus
culture.

who are wishing to travel to and from either Mataram or Senggigi. The 8 DAMRI buses serving
the route have a capacity of approximately 40 passengers and 10 buses with a 20 passengers.
They are new air-conditioned buses and are white in colour.
DAMRI services depart from their office located in eastern Mataram on Jl. Tuan Guru Faisal
(a three minute taxi ride from the Mandalika Bus Station) every hour and proceed to the airport,
commencing at 04:00 with the last bus leaving that terminal at 19:00.
DAMRI services provided to connect Senggigi to the airport, departing Senggigi from 03:00
and then every 1.5 hr until the last departure from Senggigi at 20:00. Some airport buses may
provide services between Mandalika and Senggigi. In the last couple of months these services
have not been accurately following the published schedules, ensure you leave plenty of buffer
time if catching a departing flight.
The bus fare from/to Mataram is IDR 35,000 and from/to Senggigi is IDR 45.000 Taxis are
normally available at the terminal for travel onward to other areas.
2. By boat
The port of Lembar is 22 km south of Mataram. There are ferries every 90 minutes or so, 24
hours a day, from Padang Bai on Bali, with the trip taking 4-5 hours. Any volunteer "porters"
who carry your bags will expect at least Rp. 10,000.
If you haven't booked an end-to-end travel package, getting from Lembar to Mataram can
sometimes be problematic. You can take a shuttle bus service to Mataram with Perama Tours
and Travel, Pejanggik Str. No. 66, Mataram, ☎+62 370 635928. Perama have offices across
Indonesia including Bali and Lombok providing land sea and air connections. Perama shuttle
bus offers Bali to Mataram connections and Lembar to Mataram connections. An hotel pick-up
should always be arranged well in advanced and preferably confirmed by email. An alternative
is to negotiate a trip with a private car operator upon arrival. You can also take an online
transportation by using an apps. In your mobile phone (GO-JEK or GRAB).Alternatively,
metered taxis are often available at the terminal or just outside the gates. A taxi may be available
but do not depend on one being there. There are a few basic warung and losmen in Lembar if
you get stuck.
1.1.1 By taxi
Taxi fares are quite reasonable if they use the meter. Some drivers may try and enforce IDR
25,000 minimum. Blue bird Lombok Taxi, ☎+62 370 627000is the most common taxi available
in Mataram. Both the Bluebird and white coloured Express Taksi have a radio despatch system
and both companies cars are equiped with meters which should be used by their drivers at all
times. Flag fall is approximately Rp 6,000 and the meter ticks up a few hundred rupiah for every
hundred meters past 2 km. Taxis can be booked in advance either by calling them yourself or
by booking through your hotel. Taxis may be hailed down on the street anywhere around
Mataram with the exception of the dark blue Airport Taxi the use of which is limited to arriving
airport passengers only.
GO-JEK and GRAB are online transpotation that can be reach by using an apps in your mobile
phone.You can also take an online transportation by using an apps. In your mobile phone (GO-
JEK or GRAB). Alternatively, metered taxis are often available at the terminal or just outside
the gates.
1.1.3 By ojek
Prices are negotiable but a rule of thumb is Rp 5,000-10,000 for a short trip with a local
motorbike rider if the destination is nearby, longer distances will require some informed
negotiation.
Horse carts known as cidomo remain a common means of transport in Mataram and they are
often found operating throughout the congested streets near a pasar or produce market. Ojek
and metered taxis are more commonly used for transport in and around Mataram.
1.1.5 By car
Renting a car is a possible alternative in Mataram. It will cost around IDR 300,000 for a Toyota
Avanza/Daihatsu Xenia (2x4) 6-8 seats, IDR 450,000 for a Toyota Kijang (2x4) with 7-8 seats.
Age and condition of car will effect price as will high rental demand in the peak tourism period
around the June-August and local holidays. Rental periods should be for 24hours.
1.1.5 By motorbike
Motorbikes are also available for rent around Mataram. Expect to pay approximately
IDR70,000 per day for a motor bike in as new condition. There are several rental operators to
be found in the Cakranegara area or enquire at your hotel for assistance.
If you have traveler’s checks the rate will be less than bank notes. Be sure to count your money
before you leave money changers. You can also check local banks but the rate is slightly lower
