3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
This observation was on Non Green House maize. The maize was cultivated
in field. The observation was 3 weeks after planting. There were three treatments
of water stress. The first was control (C) by daily irrigation. The second was water
logging (WL) treatment by flooding. The last was Drought (D) treatment by
without irrigation supply for a week. Table 1. showed morphological impacted by
water stress.

Corn samples show different plant height, in drought stress treatment (D)
plants 11,9% shorter than plants in water logging treatment (LW) and 33,3% than
control (C). This value is related to the result of segment length of maize
(poybag), segment length of maize with the water logging treatment (LW) has a
31,8% and 20,8% longer length segment compared with other treatment,
respectively.

Segment length value of the plant also affected plant height, the longer
segment plant result in higher maize plant. Shoot apex serves as the primary
source of auxin for the entire plant, polar transport has long been believed to be
the principal cause ofn an auxin gradient extending from the shoot tip to the root
tip. The longitudinal gradient of auxin from the shoot to the root affect various
developmental process, including stem elongation (Taiz and Zeiger, 2000+).
Fig 3. Morphology of Maize (Non-Green House) (a) leaf, (b) stem and (c) root on
water stress treatment. C: control, LW: logging water, D: drought.
Number of leaves value in logging water treatment (LW) is 28,6% lower than
in control treatment (C). While in drought stres treatment (D) number of leaves is
28,6% higher than in logging water treatment (LW). This data is supported by the
result of plant leaf area where in drought stress treatment (D) has a 42% smaller
leaf area compared to control treatment (C). Decreased leaf area is an early
adaptive response to water deficit/ drought stress, as the water content of the plant
decrease, its cells shrink and the cell walls relax. This decrease in cell volume
result in lower turgor pressure and the subsequent concentration of solutes in the
cells. The plasma membrane becomes thicker and more compressed because it
covers a smaller area than before. Because turgor reduction is the earliest
significant biophysical effect of water stress, turgor-dependent activities such as
leaf expansion are the most sensitive to water deficits (Taiz and Zeiger, 2000).

Actually, Taiz (2000+) assume that Water uptake decreases when roots are
subjected to low temperature or anaerobic conditions, or treated with
respiratoryinhibitors (such as cyanide). These treatments inhibit root respiration,
and the roots transport less water. The exactexplanation for this effect is not yet
clear. On the other hand, the decrease in water transport in the roots provides an
explanation for the wilting of plants in waterlogged soils: Submerged roots soon
run out of oxygen, which is normally provided by diffusion through the air spaces
in the soil (diffusion through gas is 104 times faster than diffusion through water).
The anaerobic roots transport less water to the shoots, which consequently suffer
net water loss and begin to wilt.
Fig 5. Effect of water stress on plant Root, C: control, LW: lodge water, D:
drought stress.
On this result, root length (RL) and root number (ƩR) of water logging
treatment was higher than root length (RL) and root number (ƩR) of drought
treatment even the root of water logging treatment was in anerob condition. We
assume that, the both of stress treatment condition had not been maximum. So,
the root regulation of water logging treatment had not decreased as an anaerobic
root treatment regulation. Also, the root of drought treatment had not been in
stress maximum condition which did not allow the root to do elongation to water
supply.
Maize plant samples on Green House show different plant height, in drought
stress treatment (D) plants 13,1% shorter than plants in control treatment (C) and
56,7 % than water logging (WL).The value is related to leaves number
observation parameters, where the number of plant leaves in the treatment is less
than normal plants caused by the higher the plant, the more number of stem
segments will be followed by the increasing number of leaves on the plant. Under
severe water deficiency, cell elongation of higher plants can be inhibited by
interruption of water flow from the xylem to the surrounding elongating cells.

The result of root in maize which was placed in Green House has similarity
with root in maize which was placed in Non-Green House. The root length (RL)
and root number (ƩR) of water logging treatment was higher than root length (RL)
and root number (ƩR) of drought treatment. Even thought, the root of water
logging treatment was in anerob condition.
The fact is several genes encoding glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs), a class
of proteins stimulated by various stress conditions, are induced by elevated auxin
concentrations.Likewise, ACC synthase, which is also induced by stress and is the
rate-limiting step in ethylene biosynthesis, is induced by high levels of auxin
(Taiz, 2000).
Initiation of lateral (branch) roots and adventitious roots is stimulated by high
auxin levels. Lateral roots arecommonly found above the elongation and root hair
zone and originate from small groups of cells in thepericycle. Auxin stimulates
these pericycle cells to divide. The dividing cells graduallyform into a root apex,
and the lateral root grows through the root cortex and epidermisauxin is involved
in stress responses, such as wounding by auxin (Taiz, 2000).

The results showed that there was an increase in proline content along with
the flooding treatment of 0,238 μmol g-1 FW and dryness of 0,867 μmol g-1 FW.
Whereas the control treatment produces a low of proline content of 0,197 mol g-1
FW. At the time the plants are treated for stress, both inundation and dryness have
increased the proline content by 4,80% and 29,40%, respectively. Similarly, in the
fresh leaf weight parameters, the control treatment contained the highest leaf fresh
weight of 3,2 g, while the decrease of wet leaf weight in the treatment of flooding
and drought, respectively 2,2 g and 1,3 g. In Fig 1 the plants treated in drought
show physiologic response with decreasing fresh leaf weight and increasing leaf
proline content.
The mechanism of drought resistance one of which is the ability to produce
compounds such as prolineosmotikum function in osmotic adjustment process.
The results of the analysis leaf proline content levels increased in the treatment of
flooding and drought. This is because the proline serves to regulate osmotic
pressure and accumulation in cells that play a role in maintaining water balance.
The accumulation of proline under stress conditions lowers the water pressure of
the cells so that it will help the plant remain able to absorb more water and
nutrients from the soil. In addition to functioning as a pressure within the cell,
proline also plays a role in reducing free radicals in the cells so that damage
caused oxidative stress can be prevented.

From this picture, extraction dna with Termofisher Genom DNA Purification
Kit produce the high quality genom DNA. The electrophoresis of total DNA every
samples, showed that high DNA concentration about 100 ng. If compared with
CTAB method the thermofisher genejet extraction kit more powerful to produce
DNA with high concentration, because the kit have a proportional buffer and
spesific tube extraction with filter which is can separate the pellet and supernatan
in centrifuge step more quickly and clean. So, from this result we can run to the
next step, it can called PCR analysis. In PCR analysis, DNA genom from the
extraction step, will be reacted with specific SSR primer tagged site like glyphos
detection, Taq Polymerase and dntps in the thermal cycler with 35 cycle. Then
after the PCR, product was separated with agarose gel electrophoresis until 20
minutes and load into EtBr solution then documentation with Gel doc by BIO-
RAD.

From this picture above, all the maize sample succesfully amplified with this
spesific SSR primer. It was signed about the all sample assosiate with glyphos
character site. Between the three sample of field stress and in vitro stress looks
similar but intensity of fluorescence little bit different. It was indicate the level of
stress given impact the quality of DNA. The size band of amplifying product of
PCR with this primer above the 1000 bp. So we can conclude, the sequence of
nucleotide with coding the stress resistance properties like epsps gene appear in
each sample but with different thicknesss. The fluorescence in in vitro sample
(4,5) more strong among the other but the sample 5 with sorbitol stress most
strong. That was definitly when the plant under pure stress controlled in
laboratory can produce the quantity of specific site with primer complement more
higher.
4. CONCLUSION
1. Proline concentration in plant with abiotic stress more higher than normal
plant control
2. The water lodge stress affect the maize root more thicker
3. The water drought stress affect the maize root more longer
4. The stomata in maize leaf with drought stress more narrow and small than
the other
5. DNA sample succesfully amplifying with SSR primer glyphos site
6. The fluorescence band of DNA sample on plant stress more strong
