Abstract

OsKANADI1 is considered as a florigen Hd3a interacting protein. To study the function of OsKANADI1, the expression pattern of OsKANADI1 was performed by semiquantitative RT-PCR with various wild-type tissues in the floral transition stage. The results demonstrated that OsKANADI1 was expressed in all organs of wild-type plants, but was highest in roots and leaves. We hypothesize that OsKANADI1 is a transcription factor in rice because it contains a GARP domain and posses a nuclear localization signal. To determine whether OsKANADI1 encodes a nuclear protein, full-length OsKANADI1 fused to GFP was introduced into onion epidermis cells by particle bombardment. The result revealed that OsKANADI1 was localized in the nucleus, suggesting that OsKANADI1 may be a transcription factor. Functional analysis was carried out using a reverse genetics approach to generate gain of function mutant (overexpression) and knockdown mutant (RNAi). The results showed that suppression of OsKANADI1 by RNAi displayed branching and increasing tiller number in several lines. This phenotype resembles to the Hd3a overexpressed plants indicating they possibly function in similar pathway.Key words : OsKANADI1, Transcription factor, Hd3a interacting protein, Rice

Abstract

Staphylococcus epidermidis has been shown to undergo a phase variation correlating with expression of the icaADBC operon which contributes to biofilm formation. Biofilm formation of Enterococcus faecalis is related to heterogeneity in electrophoretic mobility. Here the relationship between phase variants of clinical isolates of S. epidermidis, icaADBC presence and electrophoretic mobility distributions is investigated. Of 105 S. epidermidis clinical isolates, 5 showed phase variation on Congo Red agar plate. Biofilm forming capability of the blackcolonies and inability of the red colonies were confirmed using a microtiter plate assay and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Upon analysis of electrophoretic mobility distributions, the black colonies displayed heterogeneity at pH 2 which was absent in the red colonies of the same strain. Surprisingly, it was shown that in all red colonies had lost the icaADBC genes. Determination of gene copy number using Real Time PCR targeting icaA showed reduction of gene copy within a culture with phase variation. In conclusion, using three fundamentally different approaches phase variation of the five clinical isolates was observed. Variants appeared through loss of icaA and icaC gens. To our knowledge this is the first report indicating S. epidermidis strains irreversible switching from biofilm + to biofilm – phenotype by deletion of ica genes. Key words: deletion, ica genes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, IcaADBC operon

Abstract

Tea plant has been categorized as self-incompatible crop. This is the reason behind the high genetic diversity. Natural pollination is possible to occur and the male parent is usually unknown, therefore, there is a need of method to identify male parent of hybrids through paternity analysis. Isozyme markers have been successfully used for paternity analysis due to their co-dominant polymorphism. This research aimed to predict male parents of hybrids by figuring out the mating system through isozyme banding patterns. In this experiment, seven enzyme systems were evaluated, of which only two of the enzyme systems i.e. esterase and shikimate dehydrogenase showing clear band pattern of Est-1, Est-2, and Shd-1 loci. The mating system of tea could be categorized as a mixed mating model, with high estimated out-crossing rate of 98.6 %. The pollen contributors were not always originated from the vicinity of the female parents.Key words: isozyme markers, paternity analysis, tea

Abstract

Examination of Phalaenopsis amabilis orchid resistance to hygromycin antibiotic is an important step to doprior to Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation in this orchids using Hygromycin phosphotransferase(HPT) gene as a selection marker in the T-DNA that harboring a desired gene to be transfered. We exposedthe plant on hygromycin containing medium. The experiment was conducted using 6 weeks old P. amabilisprotocorms. These protocorms were subcultured onto NP medium supplemented with various concentrationof Hygromycin (0, 5, 10, 20, 1nd 40 mg/l). The number of survival protocorms were examined every week for4 weeks after subcultured (WAS). The resistancy of hygromycin was calculated as ratio of death protocormsper total protocorms). The result showed that 10 mg/l hygromycin with 1 weeks of application caused deathclose to LD 50. This data indicate that P. amabilis resistance to hygromycin treatment on the appropriateconcentration 10 mg/l, and this concentration can be used for other purposes in orchid system.

Abstract

Magnaporthe oryzae B.Couch is a host-specific fungi, certain strain only infect certain host plant species. Genetic variety among M. oryzae isolates was explained by dendogram which was constructed using similarity data of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Dendogram construction was achieved by computer software, Numerical Taxonomy System (NTSYS). The aim of the research were to study the genetic variation among M. Oryzae using RAPD and to construct a dendogram of genetic similarities among the ten isolates from green foxtail (Setaria viridis L.), finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.).RAPD was performed in 30 cycles using 5 primers (OPA-02, OPA-03, OPA-04, OPA-05, OPA-07). Polymorphism data was used to constructed dendogram using Dice index and Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) in NTSYS software. There were 68 polymorphism fragments from 74 amplified fragments.Three clusters were formed in the dendrogram, based on host pathotype: foxtail millet type, finger millet type and rice type. There were two subclusters in foxtail millet type based on mating type, MAT1-1 dan MAT1-2. Thus, RAPD could be used as a method for genetic variation analysis of Magnaporthe oryzae to show host-specific specificity.Key words: Magnaporthe oryzae, RAPD, mating type

Abstract

Vector and non-vector forms of Anopheles barbirostris have been recognized in Indonesia. However, because of their similarity in morphology, they were considered to be a single species. This information has led to the hypothesis that Anopheles barbirostris is a complex of species, which are morphologically indistinguishable from each other by ordinary methods. Objectives of the research was to identify the member of Anopheles barbirostris by PCR Assay. Samples were taken from two localities in Java, two in Sulawesi, two in Flores Indonesia, one from Thailand, one from China. The study was to develop a PCR-based technique of rDNA ITS2 region. Results showed that there are at least four species within the Anopheles barbirostris population studied, namely Anopheles barbirostris species DW, DX, DY and DZ. The length of the sequence amplified for species W, species X, species Y, and species Z were 339bps, 247bps, 165bps. and 157bps, respectively. Verification of the method was carried out with 270 mosquitoes from eight different field-collection sites using various sampling methods. Samples collected from Singaraja-Flores were identified as species W and X. All specimens collected from human bite outdoors were identified as species X; this species showed to be predominant among indoor light trap, indoor human bite and indoor resting collections Samples from Reo-Flores were identified as species W and X. All specimens from Manado and Palopo in Sulawesiwere identified as species Z. Similarly only species Y was found in samples from Thailand, while specimens from Salaman and Jambu in Java were identified as species W or species X. These species-specific molecular markers for the Anopheles barbirostris, complex appear to be reliable over a wide geographical area. However, larger number of samples is still needed from throughout the range of this species.Key words: Anopheles barbirostris, ITS2, PCR, Specific primer diagnostic

Abstract

This study was aimed to compare the ability of some yeast strains to consume sugars (sucrose, glucoseand fructose) and to convert them into ethanol during fermentation. The results of this comparison will be thebasis of considerations in choosing the right strain to be used as a mixed culture to increase the productionof ethanol from substrate containing a mixture of sucrose, glucose and fructose, such as juice of cane andsweet sorghum. The study was conducted using fermentation in substrate consisting of glucose, fructose,and sucrose separately, glucose-fructose mixture, and glucose-fructose-sucrose mixture using some yeaststrains: FNCC3012, OUT7009, OUT7027, OUT7055, OUT7080, OUT7096, OUT7903, OUT7913, and OUT7921.Following the fermentation, analysis of the produced ethanol and the remaining sugar was conducted. Theresults of study indicated that the strains with the highest substrate consumption were OUT7921, OUT7096,OUT7055, OUT7027, and OUT7913 for glucose, fructose, glucose-fructose mixture, sucrose, and glucosefructose-sucrose mixture, respectively. Strains that produced highest concentration ethanol were OUT7096 inglucose and sucrose substrates, OUT7921 in substrate of glucose-fructose mixture and sucrose, OUT7913 insubstrate of glucose-fructose-sucrose mixture. Upon consideration of each strain capacity, both in consumingsugar and producing ethanol, the recommended strains for use in mixed culture in bioethanol fermentationusing mixed substrate of glucose, fructose and sucrose are OUT7096, OUT7913, and OUT7921.

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study taxonomical status of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from broiler and adherence ability on mucus in vitro. Molecular analysis was performed by analyzing 16S rRNA gene using universal primer. The adherence assay on mucus was carried out using microplate method with total plate count (TPC), absorbance (A550) and confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results of this studies revealed that three of LAB isolates have closed relation to Pediococcus acidilactici (99.9%) species.Three isolates of P. acidilactici have adherence ability on broiler mucus higher than that on porcine mucin with an adherence percentage of 55.5% versus 50.8% and absorbance A550 of 0.061 versus 0.051, respectively. The highest adherence ability showed by P. acidilactici R02 with adherence percentage was 59.3% and absorbance A550 = 0.068. Adherence on mucus were affected by the addition of 3 g/l of gastric juice and 0.3% (b/v) of bile salt. Adherence analysis using SEM also showed that the adherence on broiler mucus was higher than the adherence on porcine mucin. Altogether this adherence studies, suggest that three isolates of P. acidilactici LAB were capable of colonizing host intestinal mucus in vitro as important property to be promising probiotic bacteria for broiler.Key words : adherence, broiler, Pediococcus, mucus, 16S rRNA
