Abstract

Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) has been commonly used as traditional herbal medicine in addition to being ornamental plant and phytoremediation agent. Toxicity studies on pharmaceutical substances are required to assess the level of hazard and safety before processing as drugs. Conventional toxicity test focused on determining LD50, despite the fact that not all substances induce death in experimental animals. They might survive but suffering or get sick. This study aimed to evaluate safety level of oral administration of chloroform extract of S. trifasciata leaves (CESTL) for 28 days (subacute) in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) as model animal through the observation of clinical signs that lead to lethal and sublethal effects. The procedure referred to OECD Guideline No. 407 with the dose of CESTL was 1000 mg/kg bw (Limit Test). Adult female nulliparous Wistar rats were assigned into three groups which received CESTL, Tween 4 % (solvent for CESTL), or distilled water as control (placebo) 1 mL/individual/day. Parameters observed consisted of mortality, general physical examination, individual and social activity and behavior, body weight, body temperature, food intake, water consumption, fecal condition, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) level. Results showed that no animals died or suffered as a result of CESTL poisoning. There were no significant differences in all parameters value among three groups, indicating that CESTL did not generate adverse effects on animal normal physiological condition. Thus, it can be concluded that CESTL at the dose of 1000 mg/kg bw is relatively safe for consumption during­ subacute period.

Abstract

Root endophytic fungi that living inside the plant roots without causing any symptom, basically is part of microorganisms in the rhizosphere or soil. Considering that, the objective of this study was to examine the effect of growth media on the occurrence and variabilities of culturable endophytic fungi in cabbage roots. The growth media examined were soil from pine forest, rhizosphere of cogon grass and elephant grass, inceptisol soil mixed with goat manure, compost or vermicompost (1:1, v/v). Fungal isolates obtained were examined their effect on the growth of cabbage seedlings and their abilities to inhibit the growth of fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani in vitro. The results showed that the growth media influenced the colonization and variabilities of fungal endophytes isolated from cabbage roots. The media supporting better colonization and variabilities of fungal endophytes was soil mixed with goat manure (1:1, v/v). Among 12 isolates obtained, three isolates (PK-2, PK-4 and PK-5 isolates) tended to improve the growth of cabbage seedlings. There were also three isolates (PK-1, PK-2 and TH-1) inhibited the growth of R. solani in vitro by 56.7% -64.7%.

Abstract

Tubers, as a highly promising agricultural commodity with distinctive flavors and nutritional content, pose health challenges due to the presence of calcium oxalate. Excessive consumption can lead to mechanical disturbances in the digestive and renal tubule systems. This complicates processing techniques to ensure that tubers, before being used as raw materials in the food and other industries, do not contain calcium oxalate. The research method involves a literature review, in-depth exploration of theories and concepts, and identification of variables related to the research method and context. From the literature study, it is evident that focusing on understanding fermentation parameters, such as time, temperature, pH, and the type and concentration of microorganisms, is crucial. This information is expected to provide insights into potentially effective methods for reducing calcium oxalate content in tubers, supporting the development of safer and healthier agricultural and food processing practices.

Abstract

Foeniculum vulgare Mill., commonly known as fennel, has been utilized by Indonesian community for various purposes, from culinary to medicinal applications. The primary constituent of its chemical composition is the essential oil belonging to the monoterpene class, comprising more than 80% of its content. Genetic information plays a crucial role in determining the identity of a plant species. This information can also serve as a fundamental basis for conservation and plant breeding purposes. The aim of the research to determine the genetic diversity of F. vulgare. This study utilized fennel from six different locations. DNA examination of fennels used the Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) marker. Cluster analysis of binary data on DNA fragment scores used Jaccard similarity coefficient and UPGMA method as basis. The average polymorphism was 86.11%. The study indicated that the genetic variability of F. vulgare samples from the six locations fell within the moderate category. The results of this study open opportunities for further research in finding specific molecular markers to identify F. vulgare with its potential adulterant species.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant global public health problem caused by long-term dietary deficits that affect many children worldwide. Both environmental and genetic factors, including variants in the GHSR gene, play a crucial role in stunted growth. This study used an artificial recombinant plasmid DNA method to evaluate two primer set combinations for identifying DNA variants in the GHSR gene. Selecting suitable primer sets for identifying GHSR genetic variants linked to stunting is essential, as evidenced by PCR and sequencing techniques. The target gene, based on the GHSR reference sequence, consists of eight DNA variations (ΔQ36, G57G, P108L, L118L, R159R, C173R, D246A, and A277P). A recombinant plasmid was created by inserting a 1000 bp fragment of the GHSR gene into the pUC57 backbone. Primer sets were chosen based on their capacity to amplify these eight genetic variations and were optimized and validated using PCR methods. PCR and bi-directional sequencing verified the existence of surrounding DNA and specific single nucleotide variants (SNVs). In our study, we discovered four changes in the DNA sequence (R159R G>A, C173R T>C, D246A A>C, and A277P G>C) using the E1_F2/E1_R3 primer pair. Additionally, a new combination of primers (E1_F1/E1_R3) effectively detected seven DNA sequence mutations (ΔQ36 del CAG, G57G C>T, P108L C>T, L118L C>T, R159R G>A, C173R T>C, and D246A A>C). We have developed a new combination of forward and reverse primers to identify seven SNVs in the GHSR gene, which could serve as a diagnostic tool in clinical laboratory settings.

Abstract

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is an endemic virus and belongs to Hepadnaviridae family. This virus can result in variations of quasispecies due to its high rate of mutation. A quasispecies variant is a small population and develops as a result of mutation and can become a wild-type population. This research aims to study and carry out 3D modeling on 12 in-house full sequence HBV genome isolates from Indonesia and obtain predictive visualization data to become a reference for further research leading to the production of anti-virals and natural treatments for HBV. 12 in-house full HBV genome sequences obtained from previous research were used to carry out 3D modeling and structural analysis of the surface protein, core protein, and polymerase protein. Analysis was carried out in silico using programs available online. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using MEGA11, translation of nucleotides into protein sequences using the ExPAsy Translate portal, physiochemical analysis using ProtParam portal, and functional domain testing using the MOTIF tool from GenomeNet. Then 3D modelling using Phyre2 and SWISS-MODEL. The major mutation of the S protein occurs in L21S and mutations in the C protein mainly occur in P79Q and S87G. The model for S Protein from homology structure prediction is not reliable thus it still needs more templates from experimental techniques. While C Protein structure prediction can provide information for further research in alternative natural antiviral treatment.

Abstract

With increasing globalization and trade, the rate of invasive species entering and spreading has significantly increased globally. These include various invasive insect pests, pathogens, and weeds. Since three years ago, Milk thistle, Silybum marianum, an invasive weed species, has been observed widely in urban green spaces and roadsides in Addis Ababa city, Ethiopia. Weed surveys were conducted across 42 urban green sites located in Yeka, Lemi Kura, Bole, Nifas Silk-Lafto, Kolfie Keraniyo, Akaky Kality, and Gullele sub-cities during the main rainy season from June to September 2023, with the main objective of determining the current distribution of the weed in Addis Ababa city. The urban green areas were selected by using purposive sampling techniques. Field observations confirmed that Silybum marianum can invade and colonize wide habitats and is a highly competitive invasive weed to other important native plant species. High weed density rates and dense stands of weeds were recorded in the 34 urban green areas sampled. The survey result strongly suggests fast integrated weed management options such as mowing/tilling, weeding before the plant goes to seed, cutting (stems and/or seed heads), and burning (collected plant parts and/or seed heads) into a prepared burrow were done to minimize the spreading of the weed and its ecological impacts. The purpose of this survey study is to provide information about Silybum marianum to minimize or avoid its distribution and associated impacts by following sustainable invasive weed management programs in the city before spreading to other cities in the country.

Abstract

The Stevia plant is used as a low calorie natural sweetener known as"the sweet herb of Paraguay". Stevia leaves a higher level of sweetness than cane sugar. Stevia can be propagated by stem cutting techniques. Soaked of stem cuttings in Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) auxin can promote the growth and development of Stevia. Research was conducted to determine the effect of commercial PGRs (Rootone-f) and natural PGRs from Shallot extract. This study used a complete randomized design with different concentrations, both Rootone-f (0, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg/L) and shallot extract (0, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%). Observations were made after 6 weeks (42 days) of planting on several growth parameters (height of plant, number or buds, number of leaves, number of roots and length of roots). Commercial PGRs showed a significant effect on growth parameters. While natural PGRs of shallot showed a significant effect on height of growth parameters. The recommended concentration of commercial PGRs for Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni M. stem cuttings was 300 mg/L.
