The common fig (Ficus carica L.) is from the family of Moraceae and is commonly cultivated for its fruits, which are well-known for their exceptional nutritional and medicinal properties. The addition of organic additives functions to supply carbon sources and other essential vitamins, minerals, and natural growth regulators to support the growth of explants. The present study aims to assess the effects of coconut water and banana homogenate in the regeneration of Ficus carica cv. Violette de Solliès (VDS). In vitro shoot, explants were cultured in full-strength MS medium without sucrose but with 1.0 mg/L BAP and different concentrations of coconut water and banana homogenate. Results indicated that MS media with 200 mL/L coconut water resulted in the highest number of induced shoots (3.03 ± 0.122) and shoot height (1.005 ± 0.022 cm) compared to other treatments with coconut water, whereas MS media supplemented with 200 g/L banana homogenate produced the highest number of induced shoots (3.00 ± 0.144) and the highest shoot height (0.958 ± 0.020 cm) of all the banana homogenate treatments. In conclusion, coconut water and banana homogenate are suitable alternatives for carbon sources and other organic growth factors contributing to the regeneration of Ficus carica cv. VDS.
Functional and Structural Analysis of BPSS0140-BPSS0142 ABC Transporter That Mediates Fructose Import in Burkholderia pseudomallei
Authors: How Shu Sian , Lam Su Datt , Nathan Sheila , Chieng Sylvia
Published: December 2022

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters mediate bacteria uptake or export of a variety of solutes across biological membranes. Bacterial uptake of the monosaccharides is important as a source of carbohydrate building blocks that contribute to the bacteria’s major structure. Burkholderia pseudomallei is the etiological agent of melioidosis and within its genome, 33 genes related to monosaccharide ABC transporters have been predicted. The presence of these transporters is believed to assist in bacterial survival and adaptation in various environments. Despite a large number of genes in the genome, most of these systems have yet to be characterized, including the bpss0140-bpss0142 operon. Here, we predicted the 3D structure of each protein encoded by bpss0140-0142 and identified the specifically associated monosaccharides. In silico analyses of the structures demonstrated that BPSS0140 is a sugar-binding protein, BPSS0141 is a transmembrane permease and BPSS0142 is an ATPase. Through protein structure modeling and protein-ligand docking, several specific monosaccharide sugars were found to interact with the BPSS0140-BPSS0142 ABC transporter. To validate the in silico prediction, knock-out mutants for each of the genes were constructed. A growth profile between wild-type and mutants in an M9 medium supplemented with glucose, fructose, ribose, and galactose as predicted from the protein-ligand docking was then performed. The growth of mutants decreased significantly compared to the wild-type bacteria when grown in M9 supplemented with fructose as the sole carbon source indicating that this transporter is potentially the main fructose transporter in B. pseudomallei.

Published: December 2022

The dimorphism and phenotypic plasticity of genus Nepenthes is taxonomically challenging. They depicted a variety of pitcher morphological features that often lead to difficulty in the species delineation. However, there is an alternative that could aid to distinguish the Nepenthes species which is by observing the anatomical characteristics of their leaves. Despite few researches had reported the comparative study on leaf anatomy of certain Nepenthes species, yet, there are very scarce data showing other distinct anatomical characteristics that could be used to differentiate the Nepenthes species especially in the western of Sarawak. Hence, this research was performed to identify anatomical characteristics that could be useful taxonomic tools for Nepenthes species identification. There are nine species with one variety and three natural hybrids were included in the study namely, Nepenthes albomarginata Lobb, N. ampullaria Jack, N. gracilis Korth, N. hirsuta Hook. f., N. hispida Beck, N. mirabilis (Lour.) Druce, N. mirabilis var. echinostoma (Hook. f.) J. H. Adam & Wilcock, N. nazreeana sp. nov. ined., N. rafflesiana Jack, N. reinwardtiana Miq., N. x trichocarpa Miq, N. x hookeriana Lindl, and N. x kuchingensis Sh. Kurata. The anatomical data of leaves, i.e stomatal complex type, stomatal size and density, type of anticlinal walls, type of glandular structures and others were analysed, tabulated and discussed.

Published: December 2022

Oil palm plantation was first established in Malaysia in 1917. Since then, the oil palm industry in Malaysia flourished especially following the shifting of Deli Dura palm to Tenera palm in the 1960s, which contributed to a 30% increase in yield. However, the outbreak of basal stem rot disease caused by Ganoderma boninense has caused substantial yield losses. With no known cure to date, extensive molecular studies were conducted to better understand the underlying mechanism of G. boninense infection and the role of protein-coding genes as regulators in oil palms against G. boninense. The studies have demonstrated the importance of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the interaction between oil palm and G. boninense. However, there is still limited genome-scale identification for ncRNAs in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis jacq.) and its pathogen, G. boninense. In this study, we focused on the identification of small and medium-sized non-coding RNA using a computational approach and managed to predict 2,233 ncRNAs and 369 ncRNAs in the E. guineensis and G. boninense genomes, respectively. The identified ncRNAs include transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), and microRNA (miRNA). Although the number may be far fewer than the real number, the predicted ncRNAs here represent an almost complete dataset of small and medium-sized ncRNA in both the E. guineensis and G. boninense genomes. The information obtained may be useful to tackle the issue of G. boninense attack on oil palm plantations.

Published: December 2022

Collagen-derived cryptic peptides (cryptides) are biologically active peptides derived from the proteolytic digestion of collagen protein. These cryptides possess a multitude of activities, including antihypertensive, antiproliferative, and antibacterial. The latter, however, has not been extensively studied. The cryptides are mainly obtained from the protein hydrolysate, followed by characterizations to elucidate the function, limiting the number of cryptides investigated within a short period. The recent threat of antimicrobial resistance microorganisms (AMR) to global health requires the rapid development of new therapeutic drugs. The current study aims to predict antimicrobial peptides (AMP) from collagen-derived cryptides, followed by elucidating their potential to inhibit biofilm-related precursors in Klebsiella pneumoniae using in silico approach. Therefore, cryptides derived from collagen amino acid sequences of various types and species were subjected to online machine-learning platforms (i.e., CAMPr3, DBAASP, dPABBs, Hemopred, and ToxinPred). The peptide-protein interaction was elucidated using molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and MM-PBSA analysis against MrkH, a K. pneumoniae’s transcriptional regulator of type 3 fimbriae that promote biofilm formation. As a result, six potential antibiofilm inhibitory cryptides were screened and docked against MrkH. All six peptides bind stronger than the MrkH ligand (c-di-GMP; C2E).

Published: December 2022

Permasalahan besar yang dihadapi dalam rawatan jangkitan virus herpes manusia jenis I (Human Herpes virus type 1, HHV-1) adalah kehadiran virus mutan yang rintang ubat antivirus iaitu acyclovir. Pencarian ubatan dengan kebolehan mengatasi HHV-1 rintang-acyclovir diperlukan bagi mengatasi masalah ini. Maka, kajian ini bertujuan menentukan konfigurasi Goniothalamin (GTN) yang dipencilkan daripada Goniothalamus umbrosus seterusnya mengenalpasti kebolehannya secara in vitro merencat pencilan HHV-1 mutan yang rintang-acyclovir. Kristal yang terhasil selepas pengekstrakan bahagian akar dan batang G. umbrosus disahkan melalui GC-MS, FTIR dan NMR sebagai GTN. Kiraan puncak gandingan J (J coupling peak calculation) menunjukkan bahawa sebatian aktif ini dalam konfigurasi-cis. Sebelum ujian antivirus dilakukan, nilai kepekatan sitotoksik GTN yang membunuh 50% populasi sel Vero (CC50) ditentukan iaitu 8.747 µg/mL. Kepekatan GTN lebih rendah daripada nilai CC50 digunakan untuk penentuan kesan aktiviti antivirus. Sebanyak sebelas pencilan mutan digunakan bagi menentukan kesan aktiviti antivirus GTN dalam asai pasca-rawatan. Nilai kepekatan berkesan menurunkan 50% pembentukan plak (EC50) adalah antara 0.47 µg/mL (2.35 µM) hingga 1.42 µg/mL (6.42 µM). Nilai indeks pemilihan (SI) iaitu nisbah keberkesanan aktiviti antivirus berbanding kesitotoksikan adalah antara 6 hingga 17 yang menunjukkan bahawa GTN mempunyai potensi baik untuk bertindak sebagai agen antivirus. Kesimpulannya, GTN dalam konfigurasi cis berkesan merencat pencilan virus mutan rintang-acyclovir. Potensi tindakan tersebut penting dalam menangani kehadiran virus rintang-acyclovir terutama yang mempunyai mutasi pada timidin kinase atau polimerase DNA.

Published: December 2022

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) gum (FG) has been identified as a hydrocolloid, with promising emulsifying and stabilizing properties. In an emulsion-based food system, these properties dramatically increased when FG was mixed with soy protein isolate (SPI). Nevertheless, it is highly dependent on mixing parameters such as FG:SPI ratio, pH, and temperature, and it is currently not well understood. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of FG:SPI ratio (3:1 - 1:1), pH (3 - 9), and temperature (65 - 85 °C) on techno-functional properties (flow properties, emulsifying properties, and turbidity) of the FG-SPI dispersion, to reveal the optimum mixing parameters. A response surface regression modeling demonstrated that the quadratic effect of the FG:SPI ratio had significantly (p<0.05) increased the flow properties of the dispersion. However, the interaction between FG:SPI ratio and temperature or pH gave the opposite effect. The FG:SPI ratio had the most significant (p<0.05) increasing effect on both emulsifying properties and turbidity. Conversely, the emulsifying properties were determined to decrease with the interaction effect of FG:SPI ratio and pH. The optimized mixing parameters were recorded at FG:SPI ratio of 2.6:1, pH of 3.0, and temperature of 70 °C, with apparent viscosity (0.19 Pa.s), emulsion stability (100%), and turbidity (2.91, Abs600) values were within the predicted ranges. The present findings provide an excellent opportunity to advance the use of FG-SPI dispersion in related to emulsion-based food products.

Authors: Octavia Maria Dona , Andini Fica , Wahyuni Rina
Published: December 2022

The formation of hydrochlorothiazide inclusion complexes has been carried out to improve the physicochemical properties and increase the dissolution rate of hydrochlorothiazide. Inclusion complexes were made by co-grinding using ß cyclodextrin at a ratio of 1:1 mol, with variations in milling time, namely 30 minutes (F1), 1 hour (F2), and 2 hours (F3). The inclusion complexes formed were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy, and dissolution tests. X-ray diffraction results showed a decrease in hydrochlorothiazide intensity, the DSC thermogram showed a decrease in endothermic peaks and enthalpy values, and FT-IR spectrum analysis showed that there was a chemical interaction between hydrochlorothiazide and ß-cyclodextrin. All characterization checks carried out met the requirements and confirmed an increase in the dissolution rate. The dissolution yield of hydrochlorothiazide was 41.711%, the physical mixture was 57.135%, the F1 inclusion complex was 59.52%, the F2 inclusion complex was 79.17%, and the F3 inclusion complex was 103.62%. This proves that the formation of inclusion complexes with the addition of ß-cyclodextrin can significantly increase the dissolution
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Authors: Morandín-Ahuerma Fabio
Published: December 2022

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine or computer system to simulate and perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as logical reasoning, learning, and problem solving. Artificial intelligence is based on the use of machine learning algorithms and technologies to give machines the ability to apply certain cognitive abilities and perform tasks on their own autonomously or semi-autonomously. Artificial intelligence is distinguished by its degree of cognitive capacity or by its degree of autonomy. By capacity it can be weak or limited, general or superlative. Due to its autonomy, it can be reactive, deliberative, cognitive, or totally autonomous. As artificial intelligence improves, many processes are becoming more efficient and tasks that seem complicated today will be performed more quickly and accurately.

Teacher induction programs are education systems designed to improve the knowledge, skills and mental structures of novice teachers. If we look at the induction program in Turkey, in March and October 2016, some radical changes took place in the induction process. With this change, the number of studies on the induction process has increased, and studies reflecting the views of novices on the induction program, regardless of field, have taken their place in the literature. However, as it is known, the field-specific needs and problems of novice teachers in different fields may change. In particular, it has been revealed that novices in the field of science and mathematics have more special needs than novices in other fields. Based on this idea, in this study, the views of novice mathematics teachers on the development of the induction program are discussed. For this purpose, 27 novice mathematics teachers who have just completed their induction processs were asked to make suggestions for the improvement of the induction program, taking into account their own experiences. The case study method was used in the study and the data were analyzed using the content analysis technique. Findings are presented in the form of MAXQDA maps, and quotations from teacher responses are also included. It has been revealed that the majority of novice mathematics teachers want support for the field. In addition, they stated that there should be mentors from the same field as the novices in the school and in the region, and that opportunities should be offered for them to develop themselves.

At first glance, Mongolia's rangeland and private livestock are classic examples of the "tragedy of commons". However, a combination of traditional nomadic rangeland management and government regulations has led to the emergence of Mongolian nomadic pastoralism. Herders who have been sharing their rangelands for four seasons have initiated, agreed upon, and implemented local-specific approaches to rangeland use plans. The government has entered into rangeland use agreements with herders to ensure the proper use of rangeland resources. Experience has shown that the organization of rangeland use areas needs to meet several fundamental principles. These include: providing the participation of all herders in the soum and bagh, clarifying the rights and responsibilities of the primary organizational unit herders' pasture user group, ensuring the coherence of traditional herders' regulations with government regulations, and on this basis between herders' pasture user group and local government Mechanisms for concluding and implementing mining agreements and for herders to integrate them with their own voluntary and government regulations seem to be effective.
