Construction of Begomovirus AV1 Gene Candidate intopBI121 and Its Introduction into Tobacco by usingAgrobacterium tumefaciens Vector. Tri J. Santoso,Muhammad Herman, Sri H. Hidayat, HajrialAswidinnoor, and Sudarsono. Infection of Begomovirushas caused leaf curl disease in tomato. This infection hassignificantly impact on yield losses of tomato production.Recently, in Indonesia there was no effectively way tocontrol this disease. The use of resistant tomato variety isone of strategies to control this virus. Genetic engineeringtechnology gives an opportunity to develop the transgenictomato resistant to Begomovirus through pathogen derivedresistance (PDR) approach. The objectives of this studywere to construct the Begomovirus AV1 candidate gene inthe pBI121 and to introduce the construct into tobacco plantgenome through Agrobacterium tumefaciens vector. A seriesactivites in gene construct have been conducted includePCR amplification of AV1 gene using a pair of specificprimer, cloning the gene into pGEM-T easy, transformation ofthe clone into Escherichia coli DH5α competent cell,construct the gene into pBI121, and transform the constructinto A. tumefaciens. Leaf segments of in vitro tobacco plantwere transformed by co-cultivation with A. tumefacienscontaining ToLCV-AV1 construct. In the research activitiy,Indonesian Begomovirus AV1 gene was successfullyamplified and inserted in expression vector plasmid pBI121.Tobacco transformants carrying kanamycin-resistant gene(nptII gene) were regenerated and established in theglasshouse. Those transformant plants are expectedcontaining the AV1 gene.

Abstract

Begomoviruses, members of the Geminivirus,are considered as emerging plant viruses. This was due tothe increasing incidences and severities of the diseases in anumber of economically important crops, including tomato.Genetic diversities of the Begomovirus isolates infectingtomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) of several areas in Indonesiawere analyzed by using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)technique. A 1500 base pairs of PCR fragments amplified byusing degenerate primers for Begomovirus was digestedusing four restriction enzymes, i.e., DraI, EcoRI, RsaI, andPstI. The pattern of RE digested fragments of 8 Begomovirusisolates and the predicted RFLP fragments of the Begomovirusisolates in the GeneBank database were used to determinethe genetic identities and diversities among the isolates.Positive results of the PCR amplifications proved thatdiseased tomato plant samples collected from 8 locations inJava and Sumatra were infected with at least one Begomovirusisolate. The PCR amplification products, which weredigested using the four restriction enzymes indicated thepresence of polimorfisms among the DNA fragments of theBegomovirus isolates. Identifications of the Begomovirusindicated that the Brastagi, Bogor, Sragen, Ketep, and Boyolaliisolates were Tomato Leaf Curl Virus (ToLCV); theisolates from Malang and Blitar isolates were AgeratumYellow Vein Virus (AYVV), while one isolate from Kaliurangwas Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV). Results of thephylogenetic analysis of the 8 Begomovirus isolates basedon Begomoviruses from the DNA database indicated thatthey belonged to three different groups.

Aniversari Apriana, AtmitriSisharmini, Wening Enggarini, Sudarsono, Nurul.Khumaida, and Kurniawan R. Trijatmiko. Plant geneticimprovement can be done through classical breeding orgenetic engineering. WRKY is a transcription factor involvedin regulating plant defense responses. OsWRKY76 gene islocated in a narrow segment of chromosome 9 which isidentified previously to be related to wide spectrumresistance in rice. A sequence of OsWRKY76 (+1.200 bp)has available in the gene bank and it makes possible toisolate, clone, and construct the gene into over-expressionvector. The aim of this research was to assemble an overexpressionconstruct of OsWRKY76 candidate gene andintroduce it into rice through Agrobacterium-mediatedtransformation. A construct of pCAMBIA-1301::35S::OsWRKY76 has been successfully assembled andtransformed into embryogenic calli of rice cv. Nipponbareusing A. tumefaciens strain Agl-1 and EHA 105. A number of126 independent lines has been produced, in which Agl-1showed 3.8 times more efficient than EHA 105. PCR analysisof randomly selected 25 independent lines showed that allof them positively contained hptII gene, a selectable markerused in the over-expression construct of the OsWRKY76candidate gene. Based on the result, it could be concludedthat the over-expression construct of OsWRKY76 candidategene have been successfully introduced into the tissue ofNipponbare.

Abstract

Tolerance of Transgenic Tobacco Expressing P5CS Gene Against Drought Stress. Drought is majorosmotic stress that dramatically limit plant growth and productivity. Proline accumulation has been correlatedwith tolerance to drought stress in plants. Therefore, overproduction of proline in plants may lead to increasedtolerance against these abiotic stresses. The objectives of this experiment were to determine the effects of droughtstress at the period of 15 – 90 days after planting (DAP) on growth of T1 plants derived from transgenic GStobacco, to evaluate their tolerance against drought stress, and to determine their leaf proline content. One groupof the tobacco plants were grown in plastic pots and subjected to stress condition during the period of 15 – 90DAP. The other group was grown optimally in plastic pot up to harvest period. All tobacco plants were harvestedat 91 DAP. Leaf proline content was determined at 63 DAP (after six periods of stress). The results indicatedreduced plant height, shoot diameter, leaf number, leaf dry weight and leaf area of all tobacco plants. Stresssensitivity index calculated using leaf dry weight character grouped T1 plants derived from P5CS transgenicGS tobacco into tolerance, medium tolerance and sensitive against drought stress while that of non-transgenicGS tobacco were only medium tolerance and sensitive against drought stress. Higher leaf proline content underdrought stress was observed in all T1 plants derived from P5CS transgenic tobacco than that of non-transgenicGS tobacco. These data demonstrated that proline accumulation as an osmoprotectant and that over-expressionP5CS gene results in the increased tolerance to osmotic stress in T1 plants derived from P5CS transgenic tobacco.Key words: Proline biosynthesis, proline accumulation, sensitivity index, biomass yield Stres kekeringan merupakan masalah utama stres osmotik yang dapat menjadi faktor pembataspertumbuhan dan produktivitas tanaman. Akumulasi prolina berkorelasi dengan tingkat toleransi tanamanterhadap stres kekeringan. Oleh karena itu over-produksi prolina diduga dapat meningkatkan toleransi tanamanterhadap stres kekeringan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh stres kekeringanmelalui pengurangan air terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman TI zuriat dari tembakau GS transgenik P5CSgenerasi TO, (2) menganalisis akumulasi prolina daun tanaman TI zurlat dari tembakau GS transgenik P5CSgenerasi TO kondisi stres dan non-stres, serta (3) menganalisis hubungan antara akumulasi prolina daun padakondisi stres kekeringan dengan pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman. Percobaan dua faktor (tembakau transgenikstres kekeringan) disusun dengan rancangan acak kelompok. Sebagian tanaman yang diuji disiram setiap hari hingga mencapai kondisi kapasitas lapang dari awal tanam sampai dengan 90 HST dan digunakan sebagaiperlakuan non-stres. Sedangkan kelompok tanaman yang lain dipelihara dalam kondisi kapasitas lapanghingga 14 HST dan diberi perlakuan stres kekeringan dari umur 15 HST hingga panen (90 HST). Kandunganprolina diukur pada umur 63 HST (setelah 6x periode stres). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan semua tanamantembakau yang diuji mempunyai tinggi tanaman, diameter batang, jumlah, berat kering dan luas daun yanglebih rendah akibat perlakuan stres kekeringan yang diberikan dibandingkan dengan kondisi non-stres.Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan indeks sensitivitas terhadap stres kekeringan menggunakan peubah bobotdaun kering per tanaman maka tanaman TI zurlat dari tembakau GS transgenik P5CS generasi TO yang diujibersegregasi untuk kategori toleran, medium toleran dan peka, sedangkan tembakau GS non-transgenikdikategorikan sebagai medium toleran dan peka terhadap stres kekeringan. Tanaman TI zurlat dari tembakau GStransgenik P5CS generasi TO menunjukkan kandungan prolina yang lebih tinggi dalam kondisi stres kekeringandibandingkan dengan tembakau GS non-transgenik. Peningkatan akumulasi prolina yang cukup tinggi akibatover-ekspresi dari gen P5CS diduga berkorelasi dengan peningkatan toleransi tanaman terhadap stres kekeringan.Kata kunci : Biosintesis prolina, akumulasi prolina, indeks sensitivitas terhadap stres, produksi biomasa

Abstract

Analisis keragaman genetik koleksi plasma nutfah kakao menggunakan marka molekuler mempunyai peranan penting dalam program perakitan klon unggul baru. Ketersediaan klon komersial dan klon unggul lokal meningkatkan peluang keberhasilan perakitan klon unggul baru sehingga analisis keragaman genetik materi tersebut perlu dilakukan. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis keragaman genetik 28 nomor koleksi kakao berdasarkan marka SSR yang berguna dalam pemilihan tetua persilangan. Penelitian  dilakukan  di Laboratorium Terpadu Balai Penelitian Tanaman Industri dan Penyegar (Balittri), Sukabumi, dan Laboratorium Biologi Molekuler Tanaman (PMB), Fakultas Pertanian, Institut Pertanian Bogor, mulai bulan November 2015 sampai Mei 2016. Analisis keragaman genetik dilakukan pada 28 klon kakao yang terdiri dari 13 klon unggul lokal dan 15 klon komersial. Ekstraksi DNA dilakukan dengan menggunakan prosedur berbasis CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide). Selanjutnya, DNA diamplifikasi dengan teknik PCR (polymerase chain reaction) menggunakan 20 pasang primer SSR (simple sequence repeats). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan semua marka SSR yang digunakan bersifat polimorfik dengan rata-rata nilai PIC (polymorphism information content) cukup tinggi, yaitu 57%. Pohon filogenetik yang dianalisis menggunakan program DARwin (Dissimilarity Analysis and Representation for Windows) versi 6.05 terbagi menjadi 3 kelompok besar yang menempatkan klon unggul lokal dan klon komersial bersama-sama dalam tiap-tiap kelompok. Klon unggul lokal diduga mempunyai asal usul yang dekat dengan klon komersial yang sudah dibudidayakan di Indonesia. Selain itu,beberapa klon kakao berpotensi menjadi tetua persilangan karena mempunyai jarak genetik cukup jauh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa marka SSR merupakan alat bantu cukup potensial untuk menentukan tetua persilangan yang diharapkan dapat meningkatkan peluang heterosis pada keturunannya.

Effectiveness of In Vitro Inhibitor Effects of Botanical Pesticides on Growth of Some Pepper Seed Born Pathogens ColoniesABSTRACT. Recently, the use of bio-pesticides significantly increases to control some plant diseases due to the drawback of chemical pesticides to environment. Some experiment have been done to evaluate the effectiveness of some vegetable oil as bio-pesticides to inhibit the colony growth of pepper seed born pathogens in vitro. Various concentrations of vegetable oil were added onto potato dextrose agar medium (PDA), afterward, the growth of pathogen colony in treatment was compared to control (medium without vegetable oil). Evaluation was done in certain period time depend on the growth of every pathogen colony Among the vegetable soil tested, clove oil and Andropogon nardus oil showed a very high inhibitory effect to colony growth of P. capsici, C. capsici, F. oxyporum, R solani, and S. rolfsii. Concentration 0.01% of those oil already inhibited the colony growth of all pathogens more than 75%, with the exception of A. nardus oil which required 0.03% to inhibit C. capsici colony. Concentration of clove and A. nardus oil above 0.01% completely inhibited growth of all pathogens colonies, except for F. oxyporum. Meanwhile, others vegetable oil like Curcuma xanthorrhiza, Kaempferia galangal, Kaempferia pandurata, and Curcuma domestica oil have a low inhibitory effect on growth of all pathogens colonies. To get inhibitory effect more than 75% on the growth of colonies, those vegetable oil needed concentration higher than 0.02%. However, K. galangal and C. domestica required 0.02% oil concentration for P. capsici and S. rolfsii, respectively.
