Abstract

Sufficient genetic diversity is important in carnation breeding program. In vivo conservation of carnation germplasmis considered inefficient due to some technical and economical aspects. In vitro conservation was then, expectedto overcome the limitation of in vivo method. The research was conducted to find out the proper media for medium-term in vitro conservation of several carnation accessions in low temperature storage. A complete factorialexperiment with 25 replications was designed to accomplish the combination of two factors. The first factor wassix commercial carnation cultivars, namely Pink Maladi, Orange Triumph, Opera, Tundra, Yellow Liberty and PradoReffit. The second factor was the conservation media i.e. 1⁄2MS + DMSO 3% and 1⁄2MS + 3% DMSO + 3% sucrose andcontrol (MS 0+3% sucrose). The results showed that in vitro conservation of carnation in low temperature weresuccessfully conducted using 1⁄2MS+3% DMSO and 1⁄2MS+3% DMSO+3% sucrose without significant variation in allaccessions tested up to 10 and 12 months respectively. The increase of death plantlets, however, was detected onthe media of 1⁄2MS+3% DMSO after 6 months storage with significant decrease in viability hereafter. The existenceof sucrose in DMSO media induced root formation and plantlet resistance to low temperature storage.

Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine has recently been developed as an alternative vaccine against virus infection.This study was the first step of DNA vaccine development to protect cyprinids including common carp (Cyprinuscarpio) and fancy koi (Cyprinus carpio) from KHV (koi herpesvirus) infection in Indonesia. One of KHV glycoproteingenes, i.e. glycoprotein (GP) was ligated with Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) â-actin promoter to generatepAct/GP as a DNA vaccine. Fourty fish in body weight of 10-15 g/fish were individually injected by pAct/GP intomuscle in different dosage of 2.5 μg, 7.5 μg and 12.5 μg/100 μl phosphate buffer saline. Total RNA was extractedfrom the 12.5 μg of pAct/GP-injected fish muscle at 24, 48 and 67 hours post-injection to analyze GP expression byRT-PCR method. Potential of pAct/GP as DNA vaccine was examined by injecting KHV into the 30-days-vaccinatedfish. Both of possitive and negative control fish group were not vaccinated. Possitive control fish group wereinjected with KHV, but negative control fish group were not. KHV-challenged fish were reared for 1 month, and thedeath fish were calculated daily. Result of RT-PCR analysis showed that GP gene expression were detected at 3 dpost-injection. Expression of GP in the vaccinated fish groups helped to improve their survival rate after challengedby KHV. All of fish without DNA vaccination had dead 17 days after KHV injection. The results demonstrated thatpAct/GP had high potency to be used as a DNA vaccine against KHV infection in cyprinids.

Abstract

Free radicals play an important role in some pathogenesis of serious diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders, cancer,liver cirrhosis, cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, cataracts, diabetes and inflammation. Compounds that can scavengefree radicals have great potential in ameliorating these diseases. It is reported that phenolic compounds in plants possessstrong antioxidant activity and may help to protect cells against the oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Previousstudy revealed that mangrove trees, Sonneratia alba Bark showed strong antioxidant activity. Ethyl acetate fractionexhibited the best antioxidant performance. The antioxidant activity of this fraction was attributed to the presence ofcompounds of different polarities such as phenolics. Furthermore, the phenolic antioxidant of ethyl acetate fraction werepurified and identified with UV, IR, MS, and 2D NMR spectrometry. 3,3’-di-O-methylellagic acid was found in brownamourphous powder. Antioxidant activity was evaluated and compared with L-(+)-ascorbic acid as standard by usingDPPH assay. The compound has strong antioxidant activity than ascorbic acid standar with the value of IC 50 11.35 and17.64 μg/mL, respectively. The high value of antioxidant activity of compound indicate that S. alba is a potential source ofnatural antioxidant agent.

Abstract

Degradation of starch by the glucosyltransferase enzyme (CGTase) to produce the primary product of chainsplitting undergoes an intramolecular reaction without the participation of water molecule. From this process, α-1,4-Linked cyclic product, known as cyclodextrins, are formed. The aim of the research was to cut amylopectinbranch in order to produce one straight chain, to optimize cyclic reaction formation cyclodextrin by CGTase. Theresearch was devided into 3 stages; (1) debranching enzyme concentration estimation (5,10,15,20, and 25 unit/gram) and the length of otimum reaction to produce straight chain for 5 hours which sample was taken each hour,(2) reaction length time estimation to form cyclodextrin in order to use debranching products (straight chain) assubstrates, the reaction length for 360 minutes and sample taken each for 30 minutes, and (3) the best substrateconcentration for straight chain (20-40% w/v) to produce cyclodextrin. The result showed that enzyme concentrationtreatment and optimal length reaction will produce straight chain with enzyme concentration of 14 units/gram for3 hours and straight chain product of 20 units/gram for 1 hour with straight chain product of 83.5%. The optimumlength of reaction for cyclodextrin formation from amylose produced from the de-branching process was 240minutes. The amount of cyclodextrin produced was 143.45 g/L with conversion value of 47.81% at 30% (w/v)substrate concentration. Highest yield of cyclodextrin (154,28 g/L) and conversion value of 44.08% was obtained at35% (w/v) substrate concentration

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze and examine the inheritance of stomatal density trait and RWL as a variable in drought tolerance ofpeanut. The experiment was conducted by using cv. Kelinci that is sensitive genotype as female parent and US 605 which is tolerantgenotype as male parent, including population off spring from hybrid cv. Kelinci (P1) with US 605 (P2). Stomatal density was determinedby making leaf imprint and by observing leaf imprint under microscope. Relative water loss was determined by dipping peanut leaf in PEG40% for 48 hours. Result of the analysis showed that stomatal density and RWL were not only controlled by qualitative characters of majorgene, but also controlled by quantitative character of minor gene by polygenic with the complex gene action. Both characters seem toinfluence more as genetic factor and have high level fixation additive varians which can give the opportunity to obtain the tolerant offspring.
