Abstract

Shallots (Allium cepa L.) are plants from the Amaryllidaceae family, Allioieae subfamily, and Allium genus. This perennial plant is estimated to have more than 1,000 species. Shallot leaves form a basal sheath. Biofertilizer contains rhizobacteria, which facilitate nutrient availability and uptake by plants. This research was conducted to determine the effect of biofertilizers on the physiological conditions and anatomical structure of shallot leaves (A. cepa L.) under drought-stress conditions. The treatments applied included the provision of biofertilizer and different drought stresses; biofertilizer was used with concentrations (10, 15, and 20 L/Ha), and the drought stress applied was 25, 50, and 75%. Data from measurements of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b levels, Membrane Stability Index (MSI), stomatal density, leaf thickness, and metaxylem diameter were analyzed using SPSS 20, ANOVA test, DMRT with a confidence level of 95%. A biofertilizer concentration of 10 L/Ha is optimal for the Membrane Stability Index (MSI), a concentration of 15 L/Ha is optimal for chlorophyll a and b levels, leaf thickness, and metaxylem diameter, and a concentration of 20 L/Ha is optimal for increasing stomata density shallot leeks under drought stress conditions.

Abstract

Mulberry leaves (Morus alba Linn.) are a plant whose potential has been widely studied because it contains phytochemical compounds such as flavonoids and phenols which have various health benefits. This plant belongs to the Moraceae family and has the characteristics of a woody trunk, branches and brown bark with a height of between 5 and 10 meters, has oval or heart-shaped leaves with tapered tips, and has oval-shaped fruit that is black when ripe. This research aims to analyze chemical compounds in mulberry leaf extract (Morus alba L.) using spectrophotometric methods. Phytochemical screening showed positive results for flavonoids (Shinoda and NaOH test), alkaloids (Wagner and Dragendorff test), tannins (Braymer's solution and base) test, and steroids (Salkowski test). UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis at a wavelength of 200-800 nm shows maximum absorption at 786 nm for the 10-2 dilution sample. Analysis of total flavonoid content using standard quercetin showed concentrations of 50.06 mg/g and 52.87 mg/g for the 1000 ppm and 500 ppm samples, respectively. The extract yield was 29.086%, with a water content of 4.415% and an ash content of 0.1%. These findings indicate that mulberry leaf extract contains various bioactive compounds with potential pharmacological properties, especially flavonoids which can be useful for medicinal applications.

Abstract

Situbondo is a district in the province of East Java, Indonesia. Situbondo is a mango production center, in 2019, based on BPS East Java data, produced mango fruit reaching 23,511.70 tons. This research is basic research to determine the potential of mangoes as a food diversification and energy diversification product in Situbondo. Mango mapping in Situbondo Regency is essential as mango is a leading horticultural commodity with high economic value and a strategic role in supporting farmers’ livelihoods. Despite its status as a major mango production center in East Java, spatially explicit information on mango tree distribution, planted area, varieties, and productivity remains limited and unsystematic, hindering effective and sustainable development planning. Moreover, mango cultivation faces increasing threats from land-use change, climate variability affecting flowering and fruiting, pest and disease attacks, and the aging of mango trees, which collectively reduce productivity. Therefore, mango mapping is crucial to provide accurate spatial data for identifying production centers, and conserving local mango varieties, ultimately enhancing sustainable mango management and regional competitiveness. The method used in this research is a survey method with descriptions (explanatory research) of primary data and secondary data. The sample in this study were all mango farmers in Situbondo district. The data obtained was then analyzed using the Simpson's dominance index (D). This index is used to determine the dominance of mango types for each district in Situbondo. The results of mapping and surveying the mango plant population in Situbondo found 3869 trees spread across in 17 district and 28 populations points. The largest population is in Arjasa district with 1872 trees. The mango cultivars recorded in Situbondo district are gadung, manalagi, arum manis, arum merah and garifta.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus. The virus is transmitted to humans through the blood-feeding activity of Aedes albopictus. This transmission is facilitated by specific proteins of salivary glands mosquito. Based on the previous studies, there are three immunogenic proteins were detected from salivary glands of Ae. albopictus, i.e 31, 47, and 67 kDa. The 47 kDa protein is one of the proteins suspected to be a serpin protein. These proteins are capable of inducing an immune response in the host. This study aims to assess the capacity of the 47 kDa immunogenic protein derived from the salivary glands of Ae. albopictus to elicit host immune responses. This is achieved through IgG analysis conducted both in vitro and in vivo analysis. In vitro IgG antibody response analysis was performed on human serum samples from healthy people, DHF patients and neonates collected from Jember. In vivo IgG antibody response analysis was performed on mice (Mus musculus) that had been injected with 47 kDa protein. IgG level measurement using the ELISA indirect method. According to in vitro examination of IgG antibody response in human samples against 47 kDa salivary protein, the highest IgG levels were detected in healthy samples followed by dengue patients and neonates. This suggests that the 47 kDa protein from Ae. albopictus salivary glands is recognized by human serum and developed into a biomarker for mosquito bites. In vivo examination of the IgG antibody response in mice (M. musculus) injected by 47 kDa protein revealed that the IgG antibody might be increased by repeated exposure to 47 kDa protein. The highest  IgG level was detected in the 6th week after repeated exposure. Repeated exposure of the 47 kDa salivary protein from Ae. albopictus have been demonstrated to elicit a humoral immune response in mice.

Abstract

Nepenthes spp. are carnivorous plants that have special leaf modifications with various shapes, sizes, and color patterns. Knowledge of Nepenthes spp. species in South Sumatra is still limited because there has been no comprehensive research. This study aims to identify and analyze the phylogenetics of Nepenthes spp. from South Sumatra based on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences. Sampling was carried out in the forests of Tekorejo Village, Air Itam Village and cultivation sites in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Molecular identification was carried out by DNA isolation, qualitative and quantitative tests, amplification of the ITS rDNA region using primer pairs ITS1 and ITS4, identification of ITS rDNA sequences, and phylogenetic analysis using the NJ (Neighbor Joining) tree method in MEGA 6 software. The identification results showed that there are 9 variants of Nepenthes spp. included in the species N. mirabilis, N. gracilis, and N. sumatrana. The phylogenetic tree from molecular analysis shows a monophyletic line between N. mirabilis, N. gracilis, and N. sumatrana with a genetic closeness between N. mirabilis and N. gracilis of 0.009 while the relationship between N. mirabilis and N. sumatrana is relatively distant, with a genetic distance of 0.066. The results of this study provide new genetic baseline data that serve as an important source of information for taxonomic purposes and conservation efforts of Nepenthes spp. in South Sumatra for sustainable development and utilization of local plants.

Abstract

Pod rot disease, caused by Phytophthora palmivora, is a major factor contributing to the decline in cocoa productivity. The growth of this fungus can be inhibited by using liquid smoke from cocoa husks. However, the stability and effectiveness of cocoa husk liquid smoke at different storage times have not been studied, even though these parameters are critical for its potential use as a fungicide. The purpose of this study was to test the stability and effectiveness of cocoa husk liquid smoke, at various storage time, against P. palmivora. Cocoa husk liquid smoke was obtained from the pyrolysis of cocoa husks at a temperature of 500 °C. The treatments consisted of storage times of 1 day, 3 days, 6 days, and 9 days. The test consisted of a stability test, in vitro test, and in vivo test. Sterile distilled water was used as a negative control and chemical fungicides (antracol) as a positive control. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance with a significant level of 5% and continued with Tukey’s further test. The results showed that cocoa husk liquid smoke remained chemically stable up to 6 days of storage based on color, aroma, and pH and meet the SNI 8985:2021 quality criteria 2. The results of the in vitro test showed that storage times of up to 9 days still showed inhibitory ability against P. palmivora, while the results of the in vivo test showed the best performance at storage times of 6 days. The active compounds in cocoa husks liquid smoke at storage 6 days show the fenol and organic acid which able to inhibit the fungus growth.

Abstract

Malaria continues to be a significant global infectious illness, with Plasmodium falciparum primarily responsible for the most severe and lethal cases, including cerebral malaria. P. falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH), an essential enzyme in the parasite's glycolytic cycle, is a viable molecular target for the development of antimalarial drugs. The deficiencies in existing therapeutics underscore the necessity for novel candidate alternative drugs. Lansium domesticum, a native Indonesian plant, possesses bioactive compounds with potential antimalarial effects. This work sought to assess L. domesticum secondary metabolites as potential antimalarial agents using an in silico methodology. A total of 47 compounds were evaluated to forecast antimalarial efficacy, thereafter, assessing their physicochemical attributes, pharmacokinetic features, and toxicity profiles. Molecular docking was used to examine the interactions between potential drugs and the PfLDH target enzyme. Four compounds—is-3-Hexen-1-ol, Aromadendrene, Isoledene, and Hexadecanoic acid—fulfilled the necessary physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological standards. Hexadecanoic acid demonstrated the most robust interaction with PfLDH, establishing three critical amino acid connections at the active site (GLY29, THR97, and HIS195) and exhibiting a superior binding affinity compared to control and natural ligands. The data indicate that hexadecanoic acid is a promising antimalarial candidate sourced from L. domesticum. Additional molecular dynamics simulations, together with in vitro and in vivo investigations, are required to validate its therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.) is cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions of Indonesia, yet genetic information on Indonesian germplasm remains limited. This study assessed the genetic diversity and population structure of 21 foxtail millet accessions collected from five Indonesian provinces using 30 polymorphic SSR markers distributed across nine chromosomes. DNA was extracted from 12-14-day-old seedlings and amplified by PCR with annealing temperatures ranging from 50 to 57°C. The polymorphic information content (PIC) was calculated using PowerMarker v3.25, while cluster analysis, genetic distance matrices, and Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCA) were performed using NTSYS-pc 2.1. Cophenetic correlation analysis was conducted using WinBoot software. Results revealed moderate to high genetic diversity with PIC values ranging from 0.09 (b190) to 0.78 (p16, b247, b223), averaging 0.54. A total of 100 alleles were detected with 2-6 alleles per locus. UPGMA-based cluster analysis grouped the germplasm into two main clusters at a similarity coefficient of 0.28, with Cluster I containing 11 accessions and Cluster II containing 10 accessions. Genetic distance values ranged from 0.11 (Minna' and Lasse') to 0.87 (ICE-276-12B-1 and Balla Pulut/Wete), indicating substantial genetic variation. PCA analysis confirmed the clustering pattern, with a strong cophenetic correlation (r = 0.81; good fit).

Abstract

Contraceptive pills containing 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and levonorgestrel (LNG) can contaminate aquatic environments and affect fish physiology. However, studies on the effects of EE2 and LNG on fish physiology in Indonesia remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of combined EE2 + LNG and fish feed on the energy reserves, specifically lipid and protein content, in female guppies (Poecilia reticulata). Fish were reared for seven days with or without feeding in 4-l aquaria containing 1 l of water (pH = 7.6 ± 0.06, temperature = 24.6 ± 2.08 ℃, BOD = 5.8 ± 0.76 mg l-1). Each aquarium contained five female fish (2–2.5 cm in length). Five EE2 + LNG concentrations were tested: 0 + 0, 3 + 15, 30 + 150, 300 + 1500, and 3000 + 15000 ng l-1, with three replicates. Lipid and protein contents were estimated gravimetrically and expressed in Joules (J). Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA with EE2 + LNG concentration and feeding as factors, followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Results showed no significant interaction or single factor effect of EE2 + LNG concentration and feeding on dry weight, lipid, or protein contents. Dry weight, lipid, and protein ranged from 17.8–118.0 mg, 0.01–0.49 J, and 0.29–1.94 J, respectively. Thus, exposure to EE2 + LNG did not affect the energy reserves of female guppies. This indicates that short-term exposure to EE2 and LNG at concentrations relevant to the environment does not lead to immediate disruption of energy metabolism in fish, and it also offers reference information for environmental surveillance and toxicological risk evaluation of endocrine-disrupting pharmaceuticals in water systems.
