Authors: Sharma Chayanika , Baruah Riki , Dey Anandita , Saikia Debashis , Sarma Utpal
Published: May 2024

The salinity of water has a negative impact on both climate change as well as human health. Therefore, the in situ monitoring of water salinity is important. Numerous approaches, including electromagnetic inductive sensing, remote sensing, methods based on optical fiber sensors, conductive sensing (capacitive or resistive), can be used to measure the salinity of the water. This work focuses mainly on the design and fabrication of low-cost co-planar interdigitated (IDT) sensors with sensitive fringing field measurement capabilities. IDT sensors with configurations 1-1-1, 1-3-1, 1-7-1, and 1-15-1 were designed and fabricated in this work. The capacitance values for all four configurations decrease proportionally with water salinity, demonstrating a negative linear response in sensors that utilize water salinity levels as the dielectric media.

Published: May 2024

Honeybees play a critical role as natural pollinator and are essential to global food production. Monitoring honeybee population densities can provide valuable insights into the environmental status of a given region, although effectively carrying out such monitoring is challenging. To address this issue, this study focused on the development of a mathematical model to predict population density and detect potential colony collapse. The model utilized a set of effective arrays of differential equations that consider crucial parameters. Analyzing actual data using the model revealed that regions with higher flower densities experienced reduced vulnerability to unnatural deaths or diseases, while those with lower flower densities tended to have smaller populations. Furthermore, numerical simulations showed that unnatural death rates exerted the most significant impact on the model. In adverse environmental conditions, forager populations decline first, leading to decreased food availability and potential colony collapse. This model, as a highly practical tool, holds immense value for environmentalists seeking precise predictions of honeybee population density within their respective regions.
Efficacy and application study of lipid stain by chromic acid techniques for determining the cause of death from a fat embolism
Authors: Chaimad Yasudama , Witchuvanich Woratuch
Published: May 2024

Fat embolism is a common cause of death after trauma or non-traumatic cases as fat droplets may block blood vessels. It can be identified during autopsy through the microscopic examination of the lungs using Oil Red O (ORO) conducted on frozen tissue, including formalin-fixed tissue. Fat can also be identified using the chromic acid technique. Consequently, in order to increase forensic pathologists' confidence and reduce the cost of delivering ORO stains to other units, the researcher aimed to compare the effectiveness of commercial ORO (ORO-C) and homemade ORO (ORO-HM) in the chromic acid technique for steatosis tissue. We separated the samples into two groups: one stained with ORO-C stain sets and the other with ORO-HM stains. Three experts evaluated the effectiveness of chromic acid stained tissue for both types of ORO using a blind test method. The results were then compared using the SPSS program. The results showed that chromic-ORO-HM of liver had quality and efficiency in interpreting the steatosis detection, similar to the chromic-ORO-C stain sets. Histopathology findings found that fat was paler than chromic-ORO-C stain sets but showed better staining on the background. In addition, chromic acid was able to preserve fat tissue and identify fat-positive results in three victims, who died from fat emboli, suggesting it potential application in forensic medicine.

Published: May 2024

The growth of vannamei shrimp is influenced by several factors, including feed and water quality.  The type of feed provided can affect the quality of water in which white shrimp live. In this study, feeds with 20%, 40%, and 60% mealworms were used as three feeding treatments for vannamei shrimp. The main goal of this study was to determine whether mealworm feeding affects water quality. Temperature sensors, pH sensors, and total dissolved solid (TDS) sensors were used in this study by utilizing internet of things (IoT) technology to monitor the water quality. The sensors were placed in four tanks with three types of mealworm feed at different percentage levels. Readings were taken from the sensors every hour and monitoring was conducted for 14 days. This was performed to evaluate the system capabilities. ANOVA was used to compare the effects of the three feeding regimens. The findings indicated that the temperature variances in all tanks were generally similar. However, notable variances were observed in the pH and TDS values. This study revealed that feeding mealworms at any feed dose had no discernible effect on water quality.

Authors: Devi Kiran , Saini Babita , Aggarwal Paratibha
Published: May 2024

The present study has focused on altering the properties of its composites to achieve robustness in concrete with high speed of construction. The different types of chemical admixtures are used to produce mortar/concrete with an accelerated setting time and early-age strength. Stone waste can be converted into mortar and concrete as an alternative to cementitious materials to overcome their ill effects, resulting production of sustainable end products. The present study investigated the influence of the stone slurry powder, calcium nitrate, and triethanolamine at various proportions in the different mortar mixes. The viability of using the additional materials in cement mortar based on strength, cost and environmental aspects was also investigated. The results demonstrated that incorporation of stone slurry powder in mortar enhanced the strength by 6–17%, which may be due to its pore filling ability. The cost of mortar construction also declined by 7% due to its free availability. The cost index and carbon emission index of mortar mix containing stone waste declined by 24% and 26%, respectively, compared to other mixes, due to reduced cement content.
Walking pattern analysis using the gait cycle to classify a healthy and an unhealthy form
Authors: Suntikan Piyapon , Tangwongcharoen Wisan
Published: May 2024

This study proposed an algorithm to classify normal and abnormal forms of walking patterns by identifying the swing and stance phases, known as the gait cycle. The walking patterns were examined by collecting data using Razor IMU sensors. The Wi-Fi transmitter was utilized to transfer raw data for further analysis, representing the gait cycle using a linear graph. The data were preprocessed and transformed into phase graphs using the polar coordinate equation. To identify areas of density, data were incorporated into K-mean clustering. A k-value of 2 groups represented the major walking phases and classified patterns based on a regional model. The experimental results enable us to define healthy and unhealthy forms. This algorithm conveniently assists in diagnosing basic physical conditions, and the dataset is efficient for monitoring the medical treatment process among recipients.

Type I hypersensitivity reactions are observed following the administration of streptokinase, resulting in poor outcomes and increased mortality. Premedication serves as a strategy to prevent these reactions in clinical practice. This study aimed to determine the incidence of type I hypersensitivity reactions associated with patients who received streptokinase and premedication. This retrospective descriptive study collected data from the electronic medical records of Nakhon Pathom Hospital covering the period from January 1, 2019 to July 31, 2021. Seventy-four participants were identified. The incidence of type I hypersensitivity reactions was 459 cases/1,000 patients. The most common type I hypersensitivity reaction was hypotension, followed by anaphylactic shock and respiratory complications. All patients with hypotension fully recovered with appropriate management; however, all patients experiencing anaphylactic shock did not survive. An inferior wall infarction was significantly associated with these reactions. In conclusion, type I hypersensitivity reactions occurred despite the administration of premedication in patients who received streptokinase. Healthcare professionals should closely monitor and carefully manage these cases for desirable clinical outcomes.
Pumpkin seed oil protects SH-SY5Y cells against amyloid-beta 42-induced oxidative stress and neuronal cell death
Authors: Areebambud Chonticha , Sareedenchai Vipaporn , Jariyapongskul Amporn , Tadtong Sarin
Published: May 2024

Amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide causes neuronal oxidative stress and eventual neuronal cell death. Pumpkin seed oil (PSO) contains fatty acids with antioxidant properties. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of PSO on amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42) peptide-induced oxidative stress and neuronal cell death in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. SH-SY5Y cells were pretreated with 0.001 and 10 μg/mL of PSO, following exposure to 1.25 μM of Aβ42 peptide. Aβ42-induced neuronal toxicity was characterized by decreased cell viability and Bcl-2 level and increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), Bax, and procaspase-3 levels. PSO pretreatment attenuated the Aβ42-induced loss of cell viability and neuronal cell death. The mechanisms by which PSO protects neuronal cells from oxidative stress include reducing levels of intracellular ROS, Bax, and procaspase-3, and increasing Bcl-2 levels. Based on our findings, the beneficial properties of PSO could be explored in future studies on co-treatment with modern medicine to prevent or slow cognitive impairment progression in Alzheimer's disease.

Published: May 2024

Stunting is a long-term nutritional problem in children, with many causal factors. This study aimed to review the role of food intake, culture, and living environment in Stunting cases. Narrative studies were conducted using scientific journal database sources originating from PubMed, Proquest, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. The keywords used in the search were culture, region, food intake, and stunting. The search included research published within the last five years, from 2017 to 2023. After the article was obtained, it was tabulated in an Excel table. A total of 168 articles were identified based on the search titles. Six articles focused on the impact of food Intake on stunting, and seven articles explored the relationship between living area and culture on the incidence of stunting. Factors influencing stunting, such as inadequate nutrition for pregnant women and limited access to supplements, as well as issues related to exclusive breastfeeding, were not optimally addressed. Among children, food restrictions were observed during their growth and development stages. Stunting was found to be more prevalent in rural areas compared to urban ones. In rural areas, the occurrence of stunting was linked to limited food availability and specific dietary practices within families. Conversely, in urban areas, stunting was associated with unhealthy snacking habits in children. The maternal diet during pregnancy and the dietary habits of children during their formative years exert significant influences on child development. Certain culture practices, such as lack of support for exclusive breastfeeding, and restrictions on certain foods for children, persist in some areas.

Topical steroids are usually used for the treatment of inflammation and irritation of the skin; however, their inappropriate use results in serious side effects. Thus, the Thai Food and Drug Administration regulation forbade the use of corticosteroids in cosmetics. In this study, a method of high-performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of three corticosteroids in cream formulation: triamcinolone acetonide (TA), betamethasone valerate (BV), and clobetasol propionate (CP). Chromatographic separation was performed on ACE® C18 (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm particle size) using a mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile in gradient elution. The detection wavelength was set at 254 and 240 nm. The validation results revealed the specificity and linearity of the proposed method with r≥0.999 within the concentration range of 2.5–50 μg/mL. The relative standard deviation (%) of the repeatability and intermediate precision of all corticosteroid samples at three different concentration levels were in the range of 0.04%–2.04% and 0.41%–4.93%, respectively, and the recovery (%) was 98.72 %–105.41%. The detection limits of TA, BV, and CP were 0.69, 0.46, and 0.48 μg/mL, respectively, and their quantitative limits were 2.08, 1.39, and 1.47 μg/mL, respectively. The validated method can be applied to quantify the amount of active compounds in commercial formulations and to determine the corticosteroid adulterants present in cream samples from online shops.

Authors: Barbosa Thiago Rodrigues , Leonardo Ferraz Caetano Dyego , Gabriela Marques da Silva Luana
Published: May 2024

The objective of this study was to explore the presence of fish species as potential environmental quality indicators in tributaries belonging to the Paranapanema River basin, Upper Parana River System. We also sought to verify the possible occurrence of species associated with mesohabitats that indicate good or poor environmental quality, using the Indicator Value (IndVal) method for such verification. The sample units were distributed in 28 stretches of streams, and 3,103 individuals were collected, distributed in five orders and 33 species, so that Astyanax bockmanni was the most abundant species. Regarding the potential bioindicator, only a total of 13 species showed that they are possible indicators of at least one environmental variable (significance of p <0.05), so that Phalloceros harpagos and Geophagus brasiliensis were associated with high values of Salinity and Total Solids Dissolved, allowing us to observe, in a cautious way, that these species may be associated to environments with high amount of organic and inorganic particles suspended in water, indicating poor environmental quality.

Mangrove degradation that occurs in various regions of Southeast Sulawesi, especially in Mawasangka sub-district, Central Buton Regency, is caused by several factors, one of which is the conversion of mangroves into ponds. Real action is needed in mangrove rehabilitation efforts. Some concrete actions in mangrove rehabilitation efforts include species recognition activities as well as mangrove nurseries, which can later be used as a source of seeds for mangrove planting activities. This activity aims to provide understanding to students of the Marine Science and Fisheries Science Study Program regarding the types of mangroves, seed selection, and how to seed mangroves. The methods used in carrying out this activity were a survey of mangrove locations, introduction of mangrove species, selection of seeds, nurseries, and evaluation of activities. A mangrove location survey was carried out to inspect mangrove areas that were open due to conversion into ponds. Species introduction is carried out directly in the mangrove area around the pond. Seed selection is carried out on mangrove propagules that meet the requirements as a seed source. Mangrove seeding is carried out on previously selected mangrove species. Meanwhile, evaluations are carried out 30 days after planting, to see the level of success of mangrove seedlings in growing. The results obtained were that there were 16 types of mangroves, with 4 types of mangroves used as seed sources, namely R. apiculata, R. mucronata, C. tagal, and B. gymnorrhiza. There are a total of 1200 mangrove seedlings that have successfully grown, with a growth success rate of 100%. Apart from that, the participants' capacity in the aspect of introducing types of mangroves, how to seed several types of mangroves, and how to select good seeds has increased. Meanwhile, the participants had a very good understanding of the function and role of mangroves for the environment and society.

The Enrekang District Population and Civil Registry Service, South Sulawesi has implemented a strategy to improve services for people with disabilities by referring to regional regulations regarding the provision of services for people with disabilities. However, these efforts still do not provide excellent service as expected. Through this research, an evaluation analysis of the implementation of services for people with disabilities in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi was carried out to determine the causes of poor quality services for people with disabilities. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out by interviews and direct observation of the facilities and services available at the Enrekang Regency Population and Civil Registry Office, which were then analyzed using the technique introduced by (Miles et al., 2018), namely Interactive Model Analysis. The research results show that services for Persons with Disabilities at the Enrekang Regency Population and Civil Registry Office, South Sulawesi need to improve Effectiveness and Adequacy indicators. Lack of facilities, such as special toilets for people with disabilities, can hamper the service process. Apart from that, the absence of translators for the deaf makes it difficult for employees to communicate which can hamper the service process. Despite these shortcomings, in general, there have been efforts to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. Services to people with disabilities are carried out quickly and precisely, and employees are responsive in responding to the needs and complaints of people with disabilities.

Teologi semacam itu diharapkan akan membentuk dan memajukan Gereja yang misinya akan membantu membangun dunia kita bukan atas dasar kekuasaan, kendali, persaingan, dan akumulasi kekayaan, melainkan atas kelembutan hati, kasih sayang, solidaritas, dan berbagi sumber daya.
Mengakarkan Nilai Pertobatan Kristiani dalam Ritus Oke Saki
Authors: Ian Jovi Sianturi, Mario Constantino Teon, Rafael Makul
Published: May 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membahas tentang ritual Oke Saki dan bagaimana ritual tersebut dapat menjadi sarana penanaman nilai-nilai Katolik di kalangan umat Katolik Manggarai sendiri. Pemahaman baru dalam Gereja Katolik yang mengakui bahwa ada benih-benih kebaikan dan keselamatan dalam agama dan budaya lain menyadarkan Gereja akan pentingnya mengakarkan iman dalam budaya lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan desain etnografi. Data primer dikumpulkan dari wawancara dan observasi langsung. Konsep ritual Oke Saki memiliki kemiripan dengan sakramen pengakuan dosa, karena keduanya merupakan usaha manusia akibat ulah manusia dan penyesalan atas dosa dan kesalahan yang telah dilakukannya. Namun, ada juga perbedaan yang mendalam, salah satunya Oke Saki PERSPEKTIF 18/1/2023 42 menekankan dosa kolektif sedangkan Katolik menekankan dosa pribadi dan pertobatan. Gereja peduli akan dosa kolektif, tetapi pertobatan pribadi harus diutamakan. Karena kesamaan tersebut, ritus Oke Saki dapat diintegrasikan dengan liturgi sakramen tobat. Namun, studi lebih lanjut masih diperlukan karena pemahaman lain yang berbeda. Diperlukan upaya untuk memurnikan pemahaman yang bertentangan dengan iman, terutama yang mendiskreditkan kekuasaan Tuhan atas semua ciptaan-Nya. Inilah cara mengakarkan nilai[1]nilai Katolik dalam budaya sekaligus melestarikan kekayaan budaya lokal yang ada.

La philosophie du cinéma de Stanley Cavell et l’ouverture aux divers genres cinématographiques pour la formation à l’éthique en enseignement
Authors: Danis Jean
Published: May 2024

Plusieurs approches d’usage du cinéma ont vu le jour pour la formation à l’éthique professionnelle des enseignants (Robichaud, 2022). Principalement orientés par la formation à la conscience critique, la réflexivité ou le développement de différents processus identificatoires, ces usages nous invitent à approfondir la notion même d’expérience cinématographique ainsi que la façon dont elle peut s’inscrire dans le cadre d’une formation continue à l’éthique. Le philosophe Stanley Cavell (1926-2018) offre une vision de l’expérience cinématographique qui met au premier plan l’idée d’une sensibilité éthique de nature transformatrice. Cette sensibilité se manifeste chez Cavell par le biais d’une conception circulaire de l’expérience qui amène le sujet à partir de la réception première d’un film pour ensuite s’orienter vers le visionnement d’autres films qui le rendent apte à décrire ce qui compte (matter) pour lui sur le plan moral (Cavell, 1971/1999, p. 12). Cette éducation morale par l’expérience cinématographique continue implique, d’une part, de considérer des critères à utiliser pour former des corpus de films en contexte de formation à l’éthique et, d’autre part, de donner des assises théoriques pour fonder le parcours des personnes étudiantes au sein d’oeuvres du répertoire cinématographique. Nous traitons dans le cadre de cet article ces aspects en ayant recours à l’expérience du cinéma chez Cavell et notamment à la façon dont ce dernier entrevoit les notions d’interprétation et de genre cinématographiques.
Revisiting “Pedagogy of Discomfort” Through the Combined Lenses of “Inconvenience” and “Affective Infrastructure”: Pedagogical and Political Insights
Authors: Zembylas Michalinos
Published: May 2024

This paper seeks to revisit the concept of “pedagogy of discomfort” through the combined lenses of Lauren Berlant’s work on “inconvenience” and recent theorization of “affective infrastructure” to clarify how an infrastructural understanding of “discomfort-as-inconvenience” might provide deeper insights about the pedagogical and political risks and possibilities of discomfort. In particular, the paper highlights three insights: first, it expands our understanding of discomfort by situating it in the broader context of the inconvenience of other people, as an ethics and politics of coexistence; second, it calls for a contextual approach of a pedagogy of discomfort that examines discomfort as a multifaceted affective event entangled with other material, social, and political elements; and third, it enables educators to create environments that could enrich the moral and political potential of a pedagogy of discomfort, by paying attention to the affective conditions in which students and educators find themselves when they encounter different manifestations of discomfort-as-inconvenience.
The main models of cross-border data transmission regimes: EU, USA and China
Authors: zhao Lei
Published: May 2024

The subject of this article is the system of regulation of cross-border data flows and its legal regime. Data is a fundamental resource for the development of the digital economy. Today, with the great development of globalization, the presence of cross-border data flows in international trade is inevitable. However, the transfer of data abroad creates hidden threats to the confidentiality of personal information of citizens and national security. Many countries have established data transfer management systems to protect their own interests. Mature data transfer management regimes abroad often become an example for other countries. The adopted laws also served as a model for other countries. The most representative regimes currently exist in the EU, the USA and China, which demonstrate three ways of managing data.  The purpose of this article is to compare the regimes of cross–border data transmission in the European Union, the United States and China in order to analyze the structure of the three representative regimes, as well as to study the causes of their formation and the consequences of their functioning. Considering the three systems makes it possible to show more clearly that the European Union, the United States and China have different value orientations, which directly led to the formation of three different legal systems. The free market and national security have become the main elements of national considerations in the development of laws on cross-border data. Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that the regime of cross-border data transfer in the EU is the most complete and effective, having a demonstration effect. The Chinese system currently has serious flaws. And in recent years, US law has been increasingly focused on serving the interests of geopolitics. Laws on cross-border data transfer demonstrate trends in political instrumentalization. The Balkanization of the Internet is becoming more and more obvious.

A three filament mechanistic model of musculotendon force and impedance

The force developed by actively lengthened muscle depends on different structures across different scales of lengthening. For small perturbations, the active response of muscle is well captured by a linear-time-invariant (LTI) system: a stiff spring in parallel with a light damper. The force response of muscle to longer stretches is better represented by a compliant spring that can fix its end when activated. Experimental work has shown that the stiffness and damping (impedance) of muscle in response to small perturbations is of fundamental importance to motor learning and mechanical stability, while the huge forces developed during long active stretches are critical for simulating and predicting injury. Outside of motor learning and injury, muscle is actively lengthened as a part of nearly all terrestrial locomotion. Despite the functional importance of impedance and active lengthening, no single muscle model has all of these mechanical properties. In this work, we present the viscoelastic-crossbridge active-titin (VEXAT) model that can replicate the response of muscle to length changes great and small. To evaluate the VEXAT model, we compare its response to biological muscle by simulating experiments that measure the impedance of muscle, and the forces developed during long active stretches. In addition, we have also compared the responses of the VEXAT model to a popular Hill-type muscle model. The VEXAT model more accurately captures the impedance of biological muscle and its responses to long active stretches than a Hill-type model and can still reproduce the force-velocity and force-length relations of muscle. While the comparison between the VEXAT model and biological muscle is favorable, there are some phenomena that can be improved: the low frequency phase response of the model, and a mechanism to support passive force enhancement.

The attentional blink reflects a ubiquitous bottleneck with selecting and processing the second of two targets that occur in close temporal proximity. An extensive literature has examined the attention blink as a unitary phenomenon, As a result, which specific component of attention – perceptual sensitivity or choice bias – is compromised during the attentional blink, and their respective neural bases, remains unknown. Here, we address this question with a multialternative task and novel signal detection model, which decouples sensitivity from bias effects. We find that the attentional blink impairs specifically one component of attention – sensitivity – while leaving the other component – bias – unaffected. Distinct neural markers of the attentional blink mapped on to distinct subcomponents of the sensitivity deficits. Parieto-occipital N2p and P3 potential amplitudes characterized target detection deficits whereas long-range high-beta band (20-30 Hz) coherence between frontoparietal electrodes signalled target discrimination deficits. We synthesized these results with representational geometry analysis. The analysis revealed that detection and discrimination deficits were encoded along separable neural dimensions, whose configural distances robustly correlated with the neural markers of each. Overall, these findings shed new light on subcomponents of the attentional blink, and reveal dissociable neural bases underlying its detection and discrimination bottlenecks.

Fertilization occurs before completion of oocyte meiosis in the majority of animal species and sperm contents move long distances within zygotes of mouse and
C. elegans
. If incorporated into the meiotic spindle, paternal chromosomes could be expelled into a polar body resulting in lethal monosomy. Through live imaging of fertilization in
C. elegans
, we found that the microtubule disassembling enzymes, katanin and kinesin-13 limit long range movement of sperm contents and that maternal ataxin-2 maintains paternal DNA and paternal mitochondria as a cohesive unit that moves together. Depletion of katanin or double depletion of kinesin-13 and ataxin-2 resulted in capture of the sperm contents by the meiotic spindle. Thus limiting movement of sperm contents and maintaining cohesion of sperm contents within the zygote both contribute to preventing premature interaction between maternal and paternal genomes.

This article explores detecting and categorizing network traffic data using machine-learning (ML) methods, specifically focusing on the Domain Name Server (DNS) protocol. DNS has long been susceptible to various security flaws, frequently exploited over time, making DNS abuse a major concern in cybersecurity. Despite advanced attack, tactics employed by attackers to steal data in real-time, ensuring security and privacy for DNS queries and answers remains challenging. The evolving landscape of internet services has allowed attackers to launch cyber-attacks on computer networks. However, implementing Secure Socket Layer (SSL)-encrypted Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) transmission, known as HTTPS, has significantly reduced DNS-based assaults. To further enhance security and mitigate threats like man-in-the-middle attacks, the security community has developed the concept of DNS over HTTPS (DoH). DoH aims to combat the eavesdropping and tampering of DNS data during communication. This study employs a ML-based classification approach on a dataset for traffic analysis. The AdaBoost model effectively classified Malicious and Non-DoH traffic, with accuracies of 75% and 73% for DoH traffic. The support vector classification model with a Radial Basis Function (SVC-RBF) achieved a 76% accuracy in classifying between malicious and non-DoH traffic. The quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) model achieved 99% accuracy in classifying malicious traffic and 98% in classifying non-DoH traffic.

Background

The chloroplast genome has the potential to be genetically engineered to enhance the agronomic value of major crops. As a crop plant with major economic value, it is important to understand every aspect of the genetic inheritance pattern among Elaeis guineensis individuals to ensure the traceability of agronomic traits.

Methods

Two parental E. guineensis individuals and 23 of their F1 progenies were collected and sequenced using the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique on the Illumina platform. Chloroplast genomes were assembled de novo from the cleaned raw reads and aligned to check for variations. The sequences were compared and analyzed with programming language scripting and relevant bioinformatic softwares. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were determined from the chloroplast genome.

Results

The chloroplast genome assembly resulted in 156,983 bp, 156,988 bp, 156,982 bp, and 156,984 bp. The gene content and arrangements were consistent with the reference genome published in the GenBank database. Seventy-eight SSRs were detected in the chloroplast genome, with most located in the intergenic spacer region.The chloroplast genomes of 17 F1 progenies were exact copies of the maternal parent, while six individuals showed a single variation in the sequence. Despite the significant variation displayed by the male parent, all the nucleotide variations were synonymous. This study show highly conserve gene content and sequence in Elaeis guineensis chloroplast genomes. Maternal inheritance of chloroplast genome among F1 progenies are robust with a low possibility of mutations over generations. The findings in this study can enlighten inheritance pattern of Elaeis guineensis chloroplast genome especially among crops’ scientists who consider using chloroplast genome for agronomic trait modifications.
