Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and has become a global health concern. Gut microbiota alterations significantly influence diabetes onset, which can be mitigated through prebiotic intake. Arrowroot tubers (Maranta arundinacea L.) possess prebiotic potential due to their oligosaccharide and dietary fiber content. This study evaluated the effects of arrowroot tuber extract on blood glucose, glucose tolerance, and gut microbiota composition in a T2DM mouse model. Tubers were macerated in ethanol, and BALB/c mice were fed a high-fat diet for five weeks, followed by streptozotocin injection (35 mg/kg) to induce T2DM. Mice received 150 mg of arrowroot tuber extract orally for 28 days. Blood glucose levels were measured on days 0, 14, and 28, and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed. Cecal samples collected after four weeks underwent 16S rRNA sequencing, and data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA (p<0.05). Treatment with arrowroot tuber extract for 28 days reduced blood glucose levels by 40.5% and improved glucose tolerance. The extract modulated gut microbiota, decreasing harmful bacteria while increasing short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing genera such as Lachnospiraceae NK4A136, Ligilactobacillus, and Alistipes. These results indicate that arrowroot tuber extract can beneficially alter gut microbiota composition and ameliorate hyperglycemia, suggesting its potential as a prebiotic-based therapeutic strategy for managing T2DM.

Abstract

The long juvenile (LJ) trait in soybean extends the vegetative phase, enabling cultivation in low-latitude regions. This study investigated transcriptomic differences between the Grobogan cultivar (control) and the AP18 (LJ) soybean line using RNA-seq. Young leaf tissues from plants at the vegetative stage were collected under field conditions and sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. After quality filtering and alignment to the soybean reference genome, 24,716 expressed transcripts were retained for analysis. Differential expression analysis identified 5,005 upregulated and 4,534 downregulated transcripts in AP18 relative to Grobogan. Functional enrichment analysis revealed the upregulation of genes involved in ribosome biogenesis and secondary metabolism, and the downregulation of genes related to photosynthesis and energy metabolism. While known LJ-related genes FT2A (E9) and ELF3B (J) showed differential expression, the magnitude was modest. These findings highlight widespread transcriptomic reprogramming associated with the LJ trait, providing insight into potential pathways that influence juvenile phase extension.

Abstract

This study explores how termite activity affects soil chemistry, those are Soil Organic Matter (SOC) and nutrient dynamics in pine and mahagony forest of varying ages in the Bromo Forest, Indonesia. Termite activity was assessed using wooden poles placed in PVC pipes as bait, which also served for soil sampling. The results showed significant differences in SOC and total NPK levels among different pole damage classes in each forest. The highest values were observed in pole damage class 4. Termite-influenced soil, especially those affected by the genera Macrotermes sp., Microtermes sp., and Schedorhinotermes sp., showed the highest concentrations of SOC and NPK (4.97%, 0.51%, 15.42 mg/100 g, and 45.9 mg/100 g, respectively). The termite diversity index showed moderate diversity in all pine forests and low diversity in mahogany forests. The termite diversity index indicated moderate diversity in pine forests and low diversity in mahogany forests, likely influenced by bait type. These results demonstrate that termite activity significantly enhances soil nutrient content and can be used as an indicator of soil fertility status in tropical forest ecosystems.

Abstract

Two commonly consumed, yet under-researched, edible flowers—Malvaviscus arboreus (Topi Turki) and Acmella paniculata (Jotang)—were comprehensively analyzed to assess their potential as functional food sources. This study investigated their nutritional content, phytochemical profiles, antioxidant activity, and organoleptic properties. Our methodology, conducted between July and December, 2024, involved a multi-faceted approach—proximate analysis quantified ash, moisture, protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrates, and total energy. Freeze-dried samples underwent LC-MS for phytochemical identification, and antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH assay. Organoleptic preferences were evaluated through a hedonic test where 30 panelists rated color, aroma, taste, and overall acceptance. Key findings revealed distinct differences. A. paniculata presented higher protein (18.75%), fat (21.71%), and fiber (24.10%), leading to a greater total energy (213.84 kcal/50g). In contrast, M. arboreus showed higher moisture (21.22%) and carbohydrates (48.12%). Phytochemical profiling by LC-MS indicated that M. arboreus contained 51 phytochemicals, primarily phenolics (13.52%), while A. paniculata had a remarkable 170 phytochemicals, dominated by alkaloids (2.94%). Importantly, M. arboreus demonstrated superior antioxidant activity (IC50 92.74 µg/mL, strong) compared to A. paniculata (IC50 156.95 µg/mL, weak) in the DPPH assay. Organoleptically, M. arboreus was preferred for its color, taste, and overall acceptability, with no significant difference in aroma. Overall, both M. arboreus and A. paniculata exhibit promising nutritional value and bioactive potential for functional food applications. This research highlights the significant potential of these edible flowers to diversify plant-based diets and contribute to the development of novel health-promoting products. Future research should focus on optimizing processing techniques and exploring diverse food applications to maximize their utilization.

Abstract

Repellency is one of strategies to reduce Diaphorina citri attack. Guava leaf extract (GLE) and horticultural mineral oil (HMO) are well-known as repellents against D. citri but have short persistence. This research was conducted to increase the persistence of GLE and HMO extracts by using simultaneous co-delivery as part of environmentally friendly control of D. citri. The treatments used were 5% GLE, 5% HMO, 5% GLE + 5% HMO, 5% encapsulated GLE, 5% encapsulated HMO, 5% encapsulated GLE + 5% encapsulated HMO, and aquadest as control. The result shows that 5% HMO, 5% GLE + 5% HMO, and 5% encapsulated GLE have a repellency effect on D. citri. In the non-encapsulated treatments, the percentage of D. citri stayed at treated citrus leaves increased significantly at 9 and 12 hours after application except 5% GLE + 5% HMO. Exposure to 5% GLE, 5% HMO, and 5% encapsulated GLE. The most dominant of GLE compounds was lactose and d-Glycero-l-gluco-heptose. The most dominant of HMO compounds were 17-Pentatriacontene, Tetrapentacontane 1,54-dibromo- and tert-Hexadecanethiol. Encapsulation of 5% GLE can increase the persistence of GLE as a repellent compound for D. citri, but this effect does not occur in HMOs.

Abstract

Aging is influenced by several factors, including Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). An imbalance of higher ROS and lower antioxidants may lead to oxidative stress in cells that is manifested as wrinkles, dark spots, and fine lines. Antioxidants can prevent the effects of ROS. Safe and abundant sources of antioxidants can come from natural ingredients. One of the natural ingredients widely studied is Clitoria ternatea flower extract (CFE). This study aims to report the CFE potential as an anti-aging and antioxidant agent. Gallic acid and quercetin standards were used to measure the total flavonoid and phenolic content. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by hydroxyl (OH) and Nitric Oxide (NO) scavenging, while anti-aging activity was evaluated by collagenase and elastase inhibition tests. CFE showed high phenol and flavonoid content (14.49 μg GAE/mg and 9.00 μg QE/mg). CFE also has OH and NO scavenging activity with IC50 18.39 and 31.11 μg/mL, which exhibited antioxidant potential. CFE also showed potential to inhibit collagenase (IC50 = 177.48 μg/mL) and inhibit elastase (IC50 = 30.88 μg/mL). CFE may serve as a promising candidate with antioxidant and anti-aging properties.

Abstract

Combination herbal or polyherbal offers advantages by synergizing multiple plants to address health issues more effectively. Meniran and turmeric are traditionally used medicinal plants with notable pharmacological activities due to their bioactive compounds. This study investigated the curative effect of a meniran-turmeric extract combination on immunocompetent cells, particularly NK and CD8 cells, and on liver histopathology in mice administered 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA). Female BALB/c mice (Mus musculus) were injected subcutaneously with DMBA at 45 mg/kg body weight (BW) in the mammary gland area and maintained for eight weeks. They were then treated with a 1:1 meniran-turmeric extract combination for two weeks at doses of 100, 300, 900, and 1,800 mg/kg BW, followed by liver and immune cell analyses. The results showed a lower CD8+ T-cell population in extract-treated groups (17.53±1.13%-19.79±1.51%) compared with the DMBA group (20.92±4.74%). Conversely, NK+ cell populations increased after extract treatment (0.33±0.01%-0.56±0.13%) compared with DMBA alone (0.27±0.02%). Liver histopathology indicated that extract combination administration did not cause more severe damage than that observed in the DMBA group. An extract combination of meniran and turmeric could modulate the immune system, particularly NK and CD8 cells, in mice injected with DMBA. In addition, the study indicated that the combination of meniran and turmeric extract might play a role as an antihepatotoxic agent. This research could serve as a consideration for future studies developing a combination formulation of meniran and turmeric.

Abstract

Ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure is a major cause of skin aging, leading to collagen degradation and wrinkles due to free radical damage. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) has antioxidant properties that may counteract this by preserving Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1), essential for collagen synthesis. This study evaluated the effects of stevia leaf extract cream on TGF-β1 and collagen levels in male Wistar rats. Thirty rats were divided into five groups: K0 (no UVB, no cream), K1 (base cream), P1 (2.5% stevia cream), P2 (5% stevia cream), and P3 (10% stevia cream). Groups K1, P1, P2, and P3 were exposed to a cumulative UVB exposure of 840 mJ/cm2 over four weeks. However, TGF-β1 levels measured by ELISA did not differ significantly among groups (p>0.05). However, collagen levels, assessed using Picro Sirius Red staining, varied significantly (p<0.05). The K1 exhibited significantly lower collagen compared to K0 (p=0.003), whereas the P2 group effectively prevented collagen degradation compared to K1 (K1: 65.87% vs. P2: 77.92%; p = 0.005). While stevia leaf extract cream did not prevent TGF-β1 reduction, it demonstrated a clear protective effect against UVB-induced collagen loss. Among the tested concentrations, 5% stevia leaf extract cream was the most effective in preserving dermal Collagen, highlighting its potential as a topical agent for preventing photoaging and maintaining skin structural integrity.

Abstract

The Small Auxin-Up RNA (SAUR) gene family represents a class of early auxin-responsive genes that are widely involved in regulating plant cell elongation, tissue differentiation, and environmental adaptation. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis of the SAUR gene family in grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus), a nutrient-rich pseudocereal. A total of 80 SAUR genes were identified based on the conserved PF02519 domain and were systematically characterized in terms of protein properties, gene structure, and phylogenetic relationships. Most SAUR genes in grain amaranth encode small, basic, and hydrophilic proteins, and gene structure analysis revealed that the majority are intronless. Phylogenetic analysis grouped AhSAURs into ten clades alongside Arabidopsis SAURs. Transcriptomic profiling across seven tissues and drought-treated samples showed that although many SAUR genes had low or no expression, several genes, including AhSAUR76, AhSAUR71, AhSAUR65, AhSAUR54, and AhSAUR73, were highly expressed in a tissue-preferential manner and showed responsiveness to drought. These findings highlight the potential regulatory roles of selected SAUR genes in growth and stress adaptation, offering a valuable resource for future genetic and functional studies aimed at enhancing agronomic traits in grain amaranth.

Abstract

Octopus cyanea is an ecologically and economically important cephalopod with wide larval dispersal influenced by ocean currents. However, geographic isolation among island clusters in northern Sumatra may restrict gene flow and shape population structure. This study investigated the genetic diversity and connectivity of O. cyanea from five populations (Aceh Island, Weh Island, Banyak Island, Simeulue Island, and Nias Island) using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences. A total of 21 individuals were successfully amplified, yielding 651 bp fragments. Sequence analysis revealed 11 haplotypes across populations, with haplotype diversity (Hd) ranging from 0.285 in Banyak Island to 0.800 in Aceh Island, and nucleotide diversity (π) between 0.001 and 0.009. Pairwise genetic distances varied from 0.000 to 0.004, with the highest divergence observed between Simeulue Island and Nias Island (0.004), while Aceh Island and Weh Island showed no differentiation. AMOVA indicated that most genetic variation occurred within populations (68.74%), with an overall Fst of 0.315, suggesting low to moderate genetic structuring. The haplotype network demonstrated shared haplotypes among four populations, whereas Simeulue Island harbored unique haplotypes, indicating partial genetic isolation. These results highlight substantial genetic connectivity among O. cyanea populations in northern Sumatra, facilitated by larval dispersal via ocean currents, but also emphasize localized divergence in Simeulue Island. The findings provide critical baseline data for developing ecosystem-based fisheries management, supporting shared stock strategies while accounting for population-specific conservation needs.
