Abstract

Environmental stress is an external factor that affects the strength and function of plant cells, such as salt levels, extreme temperatures, heavy metals, and radiation. This can cause significant changes at the molecular level, including cell structure and chemical processes within plants. This article is a systematic summary of 30 scientific studies published in the last ten years, aiming to identify common patterns in how plant cells respond to non-living stressors. Studies have shown that environmental stressors can lead to the accumulation of free radicals (ROS). This can damage membranes, cause lipid oxidation, damage chloroplasts, and disrupt the activity of enzymes essential for photosynthesis and respiration. At the molecular level, adaptive responses occur by activating hormone signaling pathways, particularly abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene. This also involves increased expression of genes related to water regulation and protection from oxidation, as well as activation of autophagy, a mechanism that destroys damaged cell parts. Changes in cellular components such as the vacuole, mitochondria, and cell wall indicate how cells work to maintain salt balance and basic body processes. This summary of various studies shows that environmental stress can cause complex problems, such as disruptions in metabolic processes, instability of internal organs, and changes in gene expression. Therefore, understanding how plant cells work and their structure is crucial for developing plant varieties that are resilient to climate change stress.

Abstract

Mitochondria play a central role in cellular energy production through oxidative phosphorylation that generates ATP, while also regulating metabolism, organelle dynamics, and bioenergetic signal integration. This study aims to synthesize the role of mitochondria in cellular bioenergetics through a qualitative meta-analysis of scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The PRISMA approach was applied for systematic article selection, resulting in 30 relevant articles analyzed for key findings. The synthesis shows that mitochondria do not operate in isolation but form a functional network that adjusts ATP production according to the specific energy demands of the cell. Mitochondrial fusion-fission dynamics influence energy distribution efficiency, while metabolic regulation and interactions with other organelles maintain cellular energy homeostasis. Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with neuromuscular disorders, aging, and degenerative diseases including cancer. The study concludes that mitochondria are adaptive bioenergetic centers, playing a crucial role in maintaining energy efficiency and providing a scientific basis for further research in cellular biology, biomedicine, and energy-based therapeutic applications. This synthesis expands understanding of mitochondrial bioenergetic mechanisms and their implications for health and biotechnology applications.

Abstract

Ethnoscience studies play an important role as a source of knowledge because they are based on local wisdom and involve traditions that occur in everyday life according to the contextual conditions of the local community environment so that they can be applied and absorbed by the community. Local wisdom and traditions can be in the form of local food, one of which is Wu’u. Wu’u is a local food made from corn that has existed and been passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the Ende Regency community as an alternative food made during times of famine and as provisions because of its long-lasting nature. However, along with the development of the era, the traditional knowledge of the community about the processing of local Wu’u food is threatened with extinction due to the lack of information passed down from previous generations due to the development of the era. This study examines the scientific concept of processing local Wu’u food with an ethnoscience approach. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative in the form of direct observation, interviews, and documentation, as well as literature studies from journals and other reference books. The results of the study indicate that the indigenous knowledge of the Ende district community related to the process of making Wu’u consists of several stages of processing which are then transformed into scientific knowledge, so that from these stages of processing Wu’u has the opportunity as a source of learning science. The concept of scientific knowledge contained in the local Wu’u food processing process includes concepts of physics, chemistry, biology, and technology.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the mechanism of cell adaptation to hypertonic conditions through osmoregulation processes in various types of cells and organisms. The method used is a systematic literature review of 30 national and international journal articles sourced from Google Scholar and ScienceDirect databases. Articles were selected based on inclusion criteria that include topic suitability, availability of osmotic experimental data, and relevance to cellular responses. The results of the study indicate that cells adapt through the accumulation of compatible osmolytes such as proline, glycine betaine, and sorbitol to maintain intracellular water and ion balance. This response was observed in various objects, including Rhoeo discolor cells that showed optimal adaptation to 0.26 M sucrose with a decrease in plasmolysis from 85% to 36%, and Inpari rice seeds with an increase in drought tolerance of up to 50% through proline accumulation. Active osmoregulation was also found in frog erythrocytes, Lactobacillus plantarum, tiger prawns (543-610 mOsm/L), and tilapia which recorded an 80% survival rate at graded salinities. In general, increased osmoregulatory capacity significantly reduced cell damage from hypertonic stress, although the magnitude of the response varied among organisms. These findings have important implications for the development of rainfed agriculture, brackish water aquaculture management, and the selection of genotypes resistant to extreme climate change.
