Abstract

Black rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties i.e. Toraja (South Sulawesi), Cempo Ireng (Yogyakarta), Wojalaka (East Nusa Tenggara), and Manggarai (East Nusa Tenggara) are four local black rice varieties in Indonesia whose character has not been widely studied, especially the character of genetic variation. Research aimed to determine the variation of the rbcL gene in the four local black rice varieties. The sample for testing the variation of the rbcL gene sequence in the form of black rice leaves six weeks after planting. Dendogram was carried out using the UPGMA method with the Kimura 2-parameter algorithmic calculation model using the MEGA5 version 5.2.2 program. The results showed that partially the rbcL gene sequence was successfully amplified on four black rice varieties with a sequence length of 487 bp. The partial rbcL sequence of black rice consisted of 26.58% tyrosine, 21.38% cytosine, 28.86% adenine, and 23.18% guanine. The value of G + C content was 0.446, with the frequency of invariable sites of 97.13%. The frequency of informative parsimony sites was 1.43% with a nucleotide diversity (Pi) value of 42-10, the number of haplotypes was 5, and the total number of mutations and polymorphic sites was 14. The ratio between transition and transversion (ts/tv ratio k) for purine bases was 1.741 and pyrimidine was 3.571, with the estimated overall ratio between transition and transversion (R) of 1.31. Based on the dendogram, the farthest genetic distance was found in Wojalaka and Manggarai varieties, which were 0.019 respectively.Keywords: black rice, genetic variation, local varieties, rbcL gen

Abstract

Staining creates a contrast between the cells and its surrounding, and enables the microscopic characteristics of bacterial cells to be easily visible and distinguished. However, staining often relies on dyes which are expensive, not readily available, or toxic. In this study, the use of food coloring dyes to stain bacteria was explored. We stained Gram- positive bacteria (Bacillus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) using several food coloring dyes of different colors, which were purchased locally. After slide fixation, the dye was flooded on the bacterial smear and air-dried for up to 30 minutes and observed by using microscope before and after washing with water. The results of this study show that prior to washing, most food coloring dyes were able to stain bacterial cells. However, after washing, only pink and purple food coloring dyes were retained, showing pink colored cells. We suspected that erythrosine was the agent responsible for this result, and was able to show similar characteristics with erythrosine alone. This study concludes that food coloring dyes containing erythrosine can be used to stain bacterial cells indiscriminately.Keywords: Bacterial cell staining, erythrosine, food coloring dyes, resource-limited.

Abstract

Aging is caused by an imbalance between antioxidants and ROS. Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that regulates antioxidant genes. Under normal conditions, Nrf2 will bind keap1 and cause degradation of Nrf2. Nrf2 activation can be stimulated by secondary metabolites, such as glucosinolate (glucoraphanin and sulforaphane) and phenolic (kaempferol and quercetin) groups found in broccoli (Brassica oleracea). The purposes of this study were to analyze the interaction of the four compounds with Keap1 through molecular docking, to identify interactions that inhibit Keap1, and also to know the bioactivity scores, drug-likeness, and bioactivity prediction of each compound. The Nrf2-Keap1 protein (ID: 2FLU) structure was retrieved from the protein database, whereas the quercetin (CID: 5280343); kaempferol (CID: 5280863), sulforaphane (CID: 5350), and glucoraphanin (CID: 656556) were obtained from the PubChem Database. Molecular docking was done with HEX 8.0. The docking results were visualized with Discovery Studio 2020. Drug-likeness and bioactivity scores of the compounds were identified using mollinspiration. Prediction of bioactivity was carried out with PASS Online. The results showed that the binding energy of quercetin with Keap1 was -268.72 kcal.mol-1, and glucoraphanin with Keap1 was -318.01 kcal.mol-1. We found that quercetin from the phenolic group and glucoraphanin from the glucosinolate group had a strong interaction with Keap1, indicated by the number of interactions occurred and the smaller energy needed. Hence both compounds could inhibit the interaction of Keap1-Nrf2. Consequently, Nrf2 could transcribe antioxidant genes. The interaction between Keap1 and quercetin may play a role related to ROS reduction activities, such as enhancing HMOXI expression. This study indicates that quercetin has more potential in drug development as peroxidase inhibitors.Keyword: Aging, bioinformatic, glucoraphanin, keap1, quercetin

Abstract

The Minnow Trap is a simple sampling gear, efficient, easy to operate, affordable, easy to make, and has been used in research in the fisheries and aquatic ecology for more than 90 years. The brightness, color, and visual obstruction of fishing gear or fish traps affect the behavioral response of target fish, considering that each fish has a specific level of color sensitivity. The color effectiveness test of fishing gear is an important prerequisite for the use of sampling tools, and it needs to be evaluated to understand the gear performance and avoid potential sampling bias. The purpose of this study was to test the color effect of the minnow trap on diurnal fish in the Gajah Mungkur Reservoir waters. The research was carried out in Gajah Mungkur Reservoir, Wonogiri Regency, at two stations. The sampling conducted at 09.00 - 11.00 and 13.00 - 15.00 Indonesian West Time, where the initial survey is estimated to be the highest time for diurnal fish activity. The minnow trap used in this study is four colors vinyl-painted double funnel cylindrical minnow trap with a 5x5 millimeter mesh size and a conventional umbrella minnow trap used as control. The sampling results are then recorded on the datasheet and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. CPUE (Catch Per Effort Unit) of each unit is then calculated and statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test through SPSS 25.0 software. The test result of five unit minnow traps from 40 installations and two hours of deployment time, 80 individuals were captured, consisted of seven species of freshwater fish. CPUE values ranking consecutively from the highest from silver units (1.375), black (1.25), green (1.125), red (0.9375), and control (0.3125). The Kruskal-Wallis analysis showed that all tested units do not have a significant difference. Keywords: Color, catch per unit effort, fish, minnow trap.

Abstract

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a functional food source in Indonesia after rice and wheat. Increasing maize productivity can be done by developing a proper environment and nutritional availability during cultivation. The use of endophytic bacteria as biofertilizers is one prospective approach in reducing the synthetic fertilizers in the soil, and improving the absorption of macronutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium, as well. This study aimed to obtain phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and potassium solubilizing bacteria (KSB). The samples of maize leaves, stems, and roots were isolated using a serial dilution method and selected on a Pikovskaya and Aleksandrov medium. A total of 10 PSB isolates were obtained from PKV selective agar media. The highest density was obtained in the root (8.3x105 CFU.mL-1), stems (5.7x105 CFU.mL-1), and leaves (4.6x105 CFU.mL-1), respectively. Meanwhile, the diversity index of the PSB ranges from 0.7 to 0.78, indicates that the diversity index is high. Four isolates from PSB (AP1.3, AP3.1, AP1.2, and AP1.4) were selected as KSB because of the clear zone formed in Aleksandrov's medium. The highest production of phosphate and potassium was obtained by AP1.3 with value 12.11 µg.mL-1 and 8.38 µg.mL-1 at 72h and 15d, respectively. Therefore, these isolates potential to be used as an organic fertilizer (biofertilizers). Keywords: Biofertilizer, endophytic bacteria, phosphate, potassium.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on shoot growth and multiplication of Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) Two weeks-old in vitro shoots were irradiated gamma-ray, at doses of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 Gy. The control shoot was not irradiated. The irradiated shoots were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.1 mg.L-1 NAA and 0.3 mg.L-1 BA and incubated in a growth room for eight weeks at a temperature of 25±2°C. The results showed that the gamma irradiation inhibited the growth and multiplication of shoots. Explants irradiated with high-dose gamma-ray (45-75 Gy) had not formed shoot in four weeks of culture, while 58.3-83.3% of the explants without irradiation or irradiated at low doses 15 and 30 Gy formed shoots. The higher irradiation doses increased percentage of browning explants and reduced the percentage of forming shoots. Within the eight weeks of culture, explant without irradiation was able to form shoots at the percentage of 100% with 24 shoots per explant, while explants irradiated at 15-45 Gy were able to grow form shoots at the percentage of 77.7-95.5%. The high doses-irradiated explants (60 and 75 Gy) were only able to form shoots less than 13-20%, with 2-3 shoots per explant. Keywords: Gamma rays (Gy), in vitro shoot, Pogostemon cablin Benth.

Abstract

Water clover (Marsilea crenata) is one of the herbal plants that has been using in alternative medicine. It possesses pharmacologically active compounds like flavonoid, which has cellular activities such as antioxidant and estrogenic activity. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of water clover ethanol extract (WCE) at different concentrations on the growth of follicles and oocytes based on follicles and oocytes diameter, respectively, after six days of culture. This experimental study used 24 isolated antral follicles (2.5-3.2 mm), which were randomly divided into four groups including control (without supplemented WCE) and experimental groups that supplemented with different concentrations of WCE (21.6, 43.2, and 86.4 µg ml-1) in culture medium for six days culture. The diameter of follicles was measured on days 0, 3, and 6. Additionally, oocytes diameter was also measured on day 6. The results indicate that the mean diameter of antral follicles and oocyte diameter of WCE 43.2 µg ml-1 was significantly increase compared to the other groups (P≤0.05). According to our results, WCE exerts its effect on the growth of the antral follicle and oocyte based on follicles and oocytes diameter respectively in a dose-dependent manner after six days of the antral follicle cultured.  Keywords: antral follicle, flavonoid, in vitro, oocyte, water clover.

Abstract

In this paper, an optimal control problem of a cervical cancer model with vaccination and screening as controls is discussed. This vaccine can stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies that can prevent the occurrence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, while screening is used as secondary prevention of early detection of cervical cancer cells so that treatment can begin immediately. The models were divided into two compartments, females and males. The female's compartment consists of susceptible, vaccinated, infected, screening, cervical cancer, and recovered females. Meanwhile, the male's compartment consists of susceptible, infected, and recovered males. The purpose of this optimal control was to minimize the number of infected females, infected males, and cervical cancer, as well as to minimize the cost of the controls. Optimal control was obtained by using the Pontryagin principle. Furthermore, an optimal control problem was solved numerically using the Forward-Backward Sweep method to determine the effect of vaccination and screening on the model. The results indicate that vaccination and screening as controls are effective in reducing the subpopulation of HPV infection, which can further reduce the occurrence of cervical cancer. Keywords: cervical cancer, vaccination, screening, optimal control

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is one of the four priority non-infectious diseases in the world. Plant-based medicine is an alternative treatment with few side effects. Star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) and bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) are plants that have anti-hyperglycemic activity. Hyperglycemia produces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that make the β-cells of the pancreas necrosis that decreasing insulin synthesis. The anti-inflammatory activity appears based on the relative levels of CD4+ and CD25+, which are TGF-β-producing regulatory T cells where TGF-β is a mediator that acts as an immunosuppressant. TGF-β would induce CD4 + T lymphocytes into T reg. The purpose of this study is to determine the profile of TGF-β on CD4+ and CD25+ spleenocytes on hyperglycemia mice after ABMC (Averrhoa bilimbi Momordica charantia mix) treatment. Mice were divided into 5 groups, non-diabetic (N), hyperglycemia (H), hyperglycemia with extract doses of 10 mg.kg-1 BW (P1), 40 mg.kg-1 BW (P2), and 160 mg.kg-1 BW (P3). Diabetic mice were obtained after a single injection dose of 145 mg.kg-1 BW streptozotocin (STZ). The result showed that ABMC can reduce blood sugar levels faster and able reduce the number of CD4+TGF-β+ cells in hyperglycemia mice. Keywords: Averrhoa bilimbi L., CD4+TGF-β+, CD25+TGF-β+, hyperglycemia, Momordica charantia L.

Abstract

Production of vetiver in Indonesia is low, and its oil quality is not in line with market demand due to the low quality of plant raw materials. In vitro mutagenesis using ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) has the potential to produce superior vetiver variants. This study aimed to determine the effect of EMS on the growth and shoot formation of in vitro vetiver plants. In vitro mutagenesis was performed by culturing in vitro shoots on MS medium containing EMS with various concentrations (0.02; 0.04; 0.06; 0.08; 0.1%) for 4 weeks. The results showed that the addition of 0.02-0.1% EMS to the medium affected on in vitro shoot growth and the ability to form new shoots. EMS increased the percentage of dead explants and decreased the average number of shoots, the number of shoots formed per explant, and the shoot fresh weight. The higher the EMS concentration in the medium, the smaller the percentage of survived explants and the lower ability to form new shoots with the average number of shoots formed less. The percentage of survived explants on the medium without the addition of EMS and on the medium with the addition of EMS with low concentrations of 0.02 and 0.04% reached 100% with an average number of shoots formed ranging from 8.5-10 shoots/explant. Meanwhile, the percentage of survived explants on medium with the addition of EMS with a high concentration of 0.08-0.1% was only 12.5-25% with an average number of shoots formed was less than 2 shoots/explant.Keywords: EMS, in vitro shoots, Vetiveria zizanioides.
