Abstract

Flowering in jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) was considered as one of major factors that contribute to its productivity. Small number of female flowers produced in each inflorescence was believed as the main cause of low seed production.Introduction of Hd3a flowering gene driven by rol C promoter was supposed to improve total number of flowers including female flower.The objective of this research was to optimize cell proliferation and regeneration medium in Jatropha transformation method mediated by Agrobacterium, to obtain transgenic Jatropha containing Hd3a flowering gene as well as to understand the effect of this transgene on jatropha flowering character.Callus induction medium containing 0.5 mg/1 IBA added with 3 g/1 PVP produced the highest frequency of shoot formation.We obtained 26.67% to 33.33% putative transgenic plantlets that were able to grow in 40mg/l hygromycin selection medium. PCR analysis revealed that seven out of 10 putative transgenic plantlets were positively transgenic.Extremely early flowering character that was confirmed by histological analysis was also shown by some transgenic plantlets.

Abstract

Pseudomonas has the potential ability for production of citrate synthase synthesis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa could synthesize the enzyme of citrate synthase which is most likely compatible with microalgae cell. Pseudomonas aerugenosa can be found in the rhizosphere of Kruing (Dipterocarpus sp., Dipterocarpaceae). This bacteria is commonly used in agriculture purposes because it is able to synthesize organic acid such as citric acid. These organic acids are synthesized from a reaction between oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA, catalyzed by citrate synthase (CS) in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). Rhizosphere as microbial sources was obtained from Kruing (Dipterocarpus sp.), which was collected from ?Carita? Research Forest, Pandeglang, Banten, West Java. Citrate synthase gene-specific primers were designed based on citrate synthase gene sequences as depicted in Genbank. The isolation and amplification showed that citrate synthase can be detected and purified from Pseudomonas aeruginosa target and it consists of 1600 bp and encodes 509 amino acids. Based on BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) analysis, CS genes that were successfully isolated had 92 % similarity with Pseudomonas aeruginosa type II citrate synthase. This CS gene is expected to be expressed in microalgae metabolism to divert the metabolism of carbohydrate formation into fatty acids.
