Abstract

Aluminum (Al) will be toxic to plants when soil is very acid. Soil reaction on acid condition tends to turn Al into trivalent cation (Al3+) disturbing the function of the root end cells in doing the division and elongating the function. Today, the study of Al stress on crop trees as oil palm is very little. This research was aimed to study the growth of oil palm varieties in growing media treated Al stress. The experiment was conducted in the screen house using a randomized block design with two treatments, oil palm varieties and concentrations of Al. Varieties consisted of five oil palm progenies (OPP) i.e. PPKS239, PPKS540, PPKS718, Simalungun, and Dumpy. They were planted into the sterile sand medium in the form of sprouts and Al was treated with five different concentrations, 0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 ppm. Al was applied at the same time in the plant from 4 to 12 weeks after planting. Observations were conducted on several morphological and physiological variables at shoots and roots. The results showed a significant interaction between varieties and Al on the length of primary roots and reducing sugar content. The average of reducing sugar content was 24% less from control than it was when treated by Al 300 ppm. Simalungun varieties had more tolerant to Al than others. The length of Simalungun primary roots was more stable when the concentration of Al was 300 ppm whereas PPKS718 and PPKS540 varieties were decreased 24.3 and 12.4% respectively. The tolerance of Simalungun was also marked from reducing sugar content which was lower than other varieties. According to Koch (2004), the low content of reducing sugar when given Al was an indication of plant resistance mechanisms against Al toxicity where the number of sugar was transported from roots to the shoots for immobilizing Al. Consequently, it decreased sugar content in the shoot.

Abstract

Black Kite Milvus migrans was seen capturing and captivating everything nearby the offal and garbage sites in Kurukshetra environs until recent past. Today it has been observed that between 2000 and 2010, its depletion is speeding fast, although not noticed in the scientific and social world. The skies in late morning hours are empty. Garbage sites demonstrate the absence of criss-crossing flights of this Kite. The popular sites of the roosting in the shape of Peepal Ficus religiosa, Banyan Ficus benghalensis and Mango Mangifera indica trees have been cut down in the first place. In Kurukshetra, the prime reason for the depletion could be attributed to destruction of foraging grounds (Elimination of garbage dumping sites), cutting down of traditional roosting and nesting sites and construction of colonies in the nearby erstwhile agriculture fields. The contiguous agriculture fields are devoid of any traditional trees like Peepal, Mango and hence no roosting and nesting places. The soaring Kites in the high skies in the forenoon and afternoon sessions were more or less absent. So much so that huge Garbage sites at Panipat Railway compound had no Black Kites. Shockingly, it seems that like Vultures, Black Kites are on their way to elimination in Haryana.

Abstract

Hylarana chalconota is a cryptic species of frog endemic to Java Island . This species is small with long legs, and brown skin. The Snout-Vent Length (SVL) ranges between 30-40 mm for male and 45-65 mm for female. Reports the existence of this species in State University of Malang, which was not found in 1995. To reveal the haplotype diversity of COI gene in this species, we analyzed Cytochrome-c oxidase subunit-1 (COI) sequences of both samples. The both samples had 604 bp and 574 bp fragment length, respectively. These fragments showed polymorphism; with mutation position in sites 104, 105, and 124. Based on this result, we suggest that the two samples share a different haplotypes, proposed as UM1 and UM2

Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae as one of the most common cause of VAP is also the second most common cause of community- and hospital-acquired gram negative bloodstream infection. The process of infection caused by direct contact with infectious agents begins with the host cell adhesion process either by pili or by afimbria adhesin (AFA). There were no reported researches on the hemagglutinin pili protein of K.pneumoniae as adhesion factors.This study was conducted in order to determine the hemagglutinin pili protein of K.pneumoniae, polyclonal antibody produced from pili protein immunization, and its ability to inhibit K.pneumoniae adhesion in mice enterocytes. Adhesion inhibition test used HA antibody with the implementation of dose dilutions of 1/100, 1/200, 1/400, 1/800, 1/1600, 1/3200 and 0 (control). While immunocytochemistry test used HA pili protein with the implementation of dose dilutions of 1/10000, 1/20000, 1/40000, 1/80000, 1/160000, 1/320000 and 0 (control). Hemagglutinin pili protein found in K.pneumoniae had MW 12.8 kDa. Pearson correlation analysis of adhesion test showed there were significant correlation between antibody dilution titer with bacterial adhesion (p = 0.032, R = -0.797). Furthermore, Anova analysis of IT showed that there were significant differences between the various dilution titer with antigen-antibody reaction (p=0.000). Antibody of hemagglutinin pili protein with MW 12.8 kDa of K.pneumoniae can inhibit the adhesion of K.pneumoniae to the enterocytes of mice.

Abstract

Platelet Activating Factor Acetyl Hydrolase (PAF AH) or LpPLA2 is key enzyme in myocardial infarction catalyzes the sn-2 acetyl group of Platelet Activating Factor (PAF) into lyso PAF and acetate as non-potent inflammatory molecules. PAF AH plays a critical role in arterial plaque development of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). A crystal structure of PAF AH complexes with other ligand and effects of amino acid alteration to protein plasma consequence have also been reported. Here we report on the result of molecular docking and Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation carried out for PAF AH wild type (WT)/PAF and mutant Q281R/PAF complexes. Docking result shown that amino acid residues on active site of Q281 PAF AH mutant have not recognized on PAF AH. Eelectrostatics and hydrophobic bonds significantly reduced in Q281R than wild type. In the 7500 ps MD simulation Q281R showed less dynamics than WT but enzymatic machinary of mutant Q281R was not interrupted during MD simulation as well as PAF AH wildtype. These findings clearly indicated the importance effect of mutant Q281R in PAF AH recognition to its substrate

Abstract

Indonesia, being part of the center of origin of bananas (Musaceae), has a large number diversity of bananas both wild seeded species and edible seedless cultivated varieties. Inventory of wild Musa species in Purwodadi Botanic Garden has been conducted through compiling data records from PBGs Registration section, field inspection and observation to living collections in the garden, herbarium specimens and literature studies. The results show that total 17 wild Musa accessions has been recorded planted in Purwodadi Botanic Garden since 1990 until 2012; comprises of 8 Musa acuminata sub species, 2 Musa balbisiana forms, 1 Musa ornata, 1 Musa troglodytarum, 1 Musa borneensis and 4 unidentified species Musa spp.; but only 8 living accessions remained in 2012. Morpho-taxonomic review of those 8 wild Musa accessions remained will be discussed in this paper including their geographical distributions. According to its differentiated morphological characteristics observations, it is known that there are three accessions were resembled cultivars and one unidentified species have been determined its species level, so that their registration identity needs to be revised. It is important next to prioritize ex-situ conservation of wild Musa species not yet collected in Purwodadi Botanic Garden especially from Eastern Indonesia.

Abstract

CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells involved in the regulation of self-tolerance and normality of homeostasis. CD122 deficient mice are model animals that have an abnormal immune system characteristically have a high number of activated T cells and TER-119 cell decreased. Here we showed evidence that the transfer of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells derived from normal mice to CD122-defficient neonates prevent the development of activated memory T cells and elicit TER-119 differentiation. Bone marrow reconstitution derived from CD122-/- mice to normal mice resulting tolerance to individual that genetically different. Importantly, CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells derived from normal mice can replace CD4+CD25+ cells derived from CD122-/- mice. The results of this experiment suggest that regulatory T cells from normal mice exert a critical role in maintaining peripheral tolerance and controlling hematopoietic disorder.
