Vertical and seasonal variation in the abundance and the species richness of
Attelabidae and Cantharidae (Coleoptera) in a suburban mixed forest
Amin Setyo Leksono, Nobukazu Nakagoshi, Kenta Takada and Koji Nakamura
Abstract
A continuous sampling of canopy beetles was carried out to determine variation in the
abundance and the species richness of the Attelabidae and Cantharidae in a suburban
mixed forest. Changes in the abundance and the species richness were monitored in three
vertical strata of the forest from May to November in 1999, using yellow and blue water
pan traps. The results showed significant variation in the abundance and the species
richness of Attelabidae and Cantharidae between the layers, trap colors and seasons. Rare
species were found in the bottom and middle layers, hut were absent in the upper layer. In
contrast, common species were more abundant in the upper layer than iii the lower layers.
The yellow traps had better trapping efficiency than the blue traps for both families, with
the exception of an attelabid species, Cycnotrachelus reolofsi, which was more abundant
in the blue traps. The abundance and the species richness were generally greater in spring
than in summer. In spring, the abundance was consistently highest in the yellow traps in
the upper layer. Season and layer were determinant factors in the species composition of
the Attelabidae, while only season explained variation in species composition of the
Canthuridae.

Abstract
Vertical and seasonal distributions of flying beetles were investigated in a suburban
temperate deciduous forest in Kanazawa, Japan using water pan traps to determine the
abundance and composition among vertical strata, change in the abundance and
composition through seasons and determinant factors in generating the distributions,
Traps were placed at three levels (0.5 n, 10 in, and 20 in above gro. id) on a tower.
Samplings were carried out seasonally from May to November in 1999 and 2000.
Variations in the abundance of flying beetles were observed from different layers. The
results showed that the abundance and composition of flying beetles varied among strata
and seasons. In both 1999 and 2000, Elateridae was consistently most abundant in the
bottom layer, while Attelabidae and Cantharidae were most abundant in the upper. layer.
In 1999, Eucnemidae and overall scavengers were most abundance in the bottom layer,
but results were not consistent with those in 2000. In general. the abundance of
herbivores reaches a peak in the early season (May/June) and decreases in the following
months. Peaks of abundance in predators vary vertically. In the bottom layer a peak was
observed in the earl\ season (May/June), while in the upper layer this was observed in
July. Scavengers had two peaks, in May/June and September. These patterns indicated
that vertical distributions in the abundance of different feeding guilds varied through
seasons.

Abstract
A continuous sampling of canopy beetles was carried out to determine variations in the
abundance, species diversity, richness, and composition of the Mordellidae and
Cerambycidae in a coppice woodland. Changes in the abundance and the species richness
were monitored at three heights in the forest throughout the season in I 949, using yellow
and blue water pan traps. The results showed significant variations in the abundance of
Mordellidae among the canopy layers, while little variation was found hi Cerambycidae.
The abundance, species diversity and richness were generally greater in summer. The
results showed distinct species compositions in both families among layers.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of forest disturbances on flying insects, samples were taken at
three selected disturbed sites in a mountainous area in Trawas, East Java. Changes in the
abundance, family richness and composition of flying insects were monitored during the
2003 wet season and 2004 dry season using window traps. A total of 4947 individuals of
insects, representing 82 families, were collected. The overall abundance and family
richness of flying insects declined with increasing site disturbance. Community
composition was also remarkably different among the sites. Herbivorous insects, such as
Chrysomelidae and Orthoptera, and scavenging beetles, such as Scolytidae and
Nitidulidae, were the most sensitive to disturbance. In contrast, some agricultural insects
were found in highly- disturbed site. These results indicate that forest disturbances
change flying insect composition.

11The Ad4BP/SF1 Function of Testes BACAd4BPtTAZ Transgenic-
Knockout Mice normally regulated during Development.
Fatchiyah, Mohamad Zubair and Ken-Ichirou Morohashi
Abstract
Gene disruption studies were performed to investigate the functions of
Ad4BP/SF-1 during the tissue development. The gene knockout mice displayed agenesis
of the adrenal gland and gonads at birth, reflecting increased apoptic cell death in the
particular cell population comprising the tissue primordia. To address the function of
Ad4BP/SF1 in developing gonad on Ad4BP/SF1 knockout mouse, we have modified the
BACAd4BP endogenous by homologous recombinant with modification cassette-
containing Tet-Off system and LacZ reporter genes to allow the expression of
Ad4BP/SF1 in developing tissues and organ differentiation, regulate of Ad4BP/SF1
mechanism, and reveal the defect due to Ad4BP/SF1 deficiency. The BACAd4BPtTAZ
recombinant has a potential to express a lacZ reporter gene and Ad4BP/SF-1 in the
tissues where the endogenous Ad4BP/SF-1 gene is expressed. Expectedly, the lacZ
expressions in the BAC transgenic mice mostly recapitulated the endogenous gene
expressions. However, protein level of upregulated Ad4BP/SF-1 varied among the
transgenic mice. Showing a good correlation with the expression levels, the transgene
differentially affected the target tissues. We further applied the BAC-transgenic mice to
rescue Ad4BP/SF-1 gene disrupted mouse. Interestingly, although the Ad4BP/SF1
protein expression levels are slightly high in testes of BACd4BPtTAZ-Tg mice, the BAC
recombinants successfully rescued and normally developed the gonad of the KO mouse.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is addressed the function of Ad4BP/SF1 in developing spleen
of Ad4BP/SF-1 KO mouse. I have modified the BAC-Ad4BP endogenous by
homologous recombinant with modification cassette-containing tetracycline
transactivator system and LacZ reporter genes to allow the expression of Ad4BP/SF1 in
developing tissues and organ differentiation, regulate of Ad4BP/SF1 mechanism, and
reveal the defect due to Ad4BP/SF1 deficiency. Recently studies, by
immunihistochemistry of adult tissues showed that revealed coincident expressing
between Ad4BP/SF-1 and lacZ, indicating the tTA system seemed to reproduces the
endogenous expression of Ad4BP/SF-1, and thus likely to lacZ, Ad4BP/SF-1 in the BAC
transgene was expected to be expressed in the corresponding tissues under the control of
the bidirectional promoter. Interstingly, the BAC-Ad4BP-tTA transgenic mice were
succeeded to upregulate the expression of Ad4BP/SF-1 at the protein level than wild
type. And the fetal spleen of Tg(+);Ad4(+/+) was larger than that of the wild type, and
expectedly the size of the spleen of Tg(+);Ad4(-/-) apparently recovered.

Abstract
Ad4BP/SF-1 (adrenal-4-binding protein/steroidogenic factor-1; NR5A1) was identified
as a key regulator of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) and -adrenal (HPA)
axes. Loss-of-function studies of the gene revealed the function of Ad4BP/SF-1 essential
for the development of the tissues comprising the axes and the spleen. In the present
study, we constructed mouse BAC recombinant clones carrying a dual promoter and Tet-
off system. These recombinant constructs have a potential to express a lacZ reporter gene
and Ad4BP/SF-1 in the tissues where the endogenous Ad4BP/SF-1 gene is expressed.
Expectedly, the lacZ expressions in the BAC transgenic mice mostly recapitulated the
endogenous gene expressions. However, protein level of upregulated Ad4BP/SF-1 varied
among the transgenic mice. Showing a good correlation with the expression levels, the
transgene differentially affected the target tissues. The spleen was the only tissue
reflected gene dosage of Ad4BP/SF-1 on the tissue size determination, while the other
target tissues were unlikely affected. We further applied the BAC-transgenic mice to
rescue Ad4BP/SF-1 gene disrupted mouse. Interestingly, the BAC recombinants
successfully rescued the gonad but failed to rescue the adrenal gland of the KO mouse.
This variation might be dependent on in part the protein expression levels driven by the
BAC transgene and in part on differential sensitivity to the gene dosage of the two
tissues.

Abstract
The orphan nuclear receptor, Ad4BP (adrenal-4-binding protein) or SF1 (steroidogenic
factor-1) or FtzF1 (Fusitarazu-F1), has emerged as a key regulator of endocrine function
within the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis and adrenal cortex, and also as an
essential factor in sexual differentiation. Ad4BP/SF1 was first identified as a conserved
regulatory motif in the proximal promoter region of genes encoding the cytochrome P-
450 streroid hydroxylases. Numerous cellular studies have implicated Ad4BP/SF1 as a
mediator of cell specific gene expression in adult endocrine organs. Ad4BP/SF1
orchestrates steroidogenesis by regulating many of the adrenal-specific enzymes that
together coordinate the synthesis of glucocorticoids and mineralcorticoids. The role of
Ad4BP/SF1 target genes in the adrenal and gonad implies that Ad4BP/SF1 is a key
molecular determinant in production of sex and adrenal steroid.
An understanding of the functions of individual Ad4BP/SF1 gene requires detailed
information on its pattern of expression, on the localization and biochemical activities of
its product and the partners it interact with, on the phenotypic consequences of altering its
function, and its transcription profile. Here I will focus to use bacterial artificial
chromosome (BAC) transgenic mice for this purpose. The development of methods of
engineering of BAC and for efficient production of BAC transgenic mice has allowed the
design of in vivo approaches to the analysis of steroidogenic genes expression and
function in hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG) or hypothalamus-pituitary-
adrenal axis (HPA), which could not accomplished using traditional methods. I will
discuss the molecular methods that used to manipulate these large DNA constructs, the
usefulness of reporter genes, and targeted-expression studies to address fundamental
problem in molecular genetics studies of mammalian endocrine function of steroidogenic
genes. In this study, I use the tet-off system to drive selectively the inactivity of
Ad4BP/SF1 expression and use the bacterial artificial chromosome transgenic strategy to
provide the role of Ad4BP/SF1 expression related with endocrine function.
In this study, I use the tet-off system to drive temporally the inactivity of Ad4BP/SF1
expression and use bacterial chromosome transgenic strategy to provide the role of
Ad4BP/SF1 expression related with endocrine function. My experiment results indicate
that the tTA-sensitive bi-directional transgenes yield tTA responsive with high efficiency.
The expression levels of transcriptionally of reporters were tTA-dependent and could be
regulated by Doxycycline (Dox), a tetracycline analog. The level of lacZ expression
reduced after two week treated by using doxycycline in the drinking water. And
abolished the expression after 3 weeks treatment In this analyzed, the doxycycline was
effective in repressing expression of target transgenic of BAC Ad4BPtTAZ mice.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to determine the genotypic and physiology
properties of two branching types of kenaf mutant line aroused from Ethyl Methane
Sulfonate (EMS) mutation. The genotypic property was observed based on the existence
of branching gene and the physiological character observed was the auxin concentration.
For molecular analysis, DNA of kenaf seed and leaves were isolated using Doyle dan
Doyle (1987) method. The sequence of branching gene was identified using PCR and
sequencing techniques. PCR was conducted using 5 pair of primers including 4 specific
primers which was designed base on the sequence of branching genes AUX1, AXR1 of
Arabidopsis thaliana, RMS1 of Pisum sativum, and Ls of Lycopersicum esculentum, and
one pair of degenerate primer designed from amino acid conserve sequence of LAS, Ls
and Moc genes. The PCR program used was 93 oC, 1 minute denaturation, 30 second
annealing at 56 oC, 1 minute ekstention 72 oC, for 35 cycles. Pre-heating for 1 minute at
93 oC, and the last extention phase was done for 10 minutes at 72 oC. Sequencing was
performed using the procedure of Big Dye Terminator mix, at ABI 377A sequencer.
Confirmation on the physiological properties of branching lines was determined using
spectrophotometry methods.
Identification of branching gene using PCR and sequencing techniques showed that the
branching gene of kenaf was succesfully amplified by AUX1 and AXR1 primers but were
not amplified by Ls, RMS1, and Llm primers. This indicates that branching gene of kenaf
was homologous to branching gene of Arabidopsis thaliana. Molecular analysis indicate
that the gene act as auxin signaling, but different type of branching was controlled by
different allele of the same locus. The gene was the member of gene family that control
branching and active at the last phase of branching development by controlling auxin
signaling to determine whether the branching candidate continue to develop or not.
Determination of auxin content in the roots, apical shoot, and axilary branches showed
that the branching plants has higher auxin content in the apical shoot compared to the
content in the branches. This indicate that AUX1 control the formation of branches by
either controlling the content of auxin in the apical shoot and branches or the ratio of
auxin content in the shoot and branches

nuclear transfer (NT) sangat penting untuk dilakukan. Dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui:
1) pengaruh aktivasi dengan menggunakan etanol dan cycloheximide terhadap
perkembangan awal embrio parthenot kambing secara in vitro; 2) perbedaan efektifitas
aktivasi dengan menggunakan etanol saja dan aktivasi dengan menggunakan etanol yang
dikombinasikan dengan cycloheximide terhadap perkembangan awal embrio kambing
secara in vitro maka penelitian ini dilakukan. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian
mi adalah oosit yang diaspirasi dan folikel ovarium kambing yang diambil dan RPH
Sukun Malang. Oosit di IVM selama 24 jam dan pada jam ke 30 setelah IVM dilakukan
aktivasi dengan menggunakan etanol 7% selama 7 menit dan kemudian dilanjutkan
dengan diinkubasi dalam 10?g/ml cycloheximide selama 3,5 jam. Masing-masing
perlakuan kemudian diulang sebanyak 8x. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan
bahwa aktivasi dengan menggunakan etanol saja mampu menghasilkan cleavage rate
sebesar 70,4%. Sedangkan pada aktivasi dengan menggunakan etanol yang
dikombinasikan dengan cycloheximide mampu menghasilkan cleavage rate sebesar
81,3%. Dengan demikian maka disimpulkan bahwa: 1) ada pengaruh aktivasi dengan
menggunakan etanol dan cycloheximide terhadap perkembangan awal embrio parthenot
kambing secara in vitro; 2) Aktivasi dengan menggunakan etanol 7% selama 7 menit
yang dikombinasikan dengan 10?g/ml cycloheximide selama 3,5 jam lebih efektif

Abstract
Developmental competence of Celosia cristata L. cell suspension-derived protoplasts
was investigated. The protoplasts were isolated from 3- to 9-d old cultures in enzyme
solution containing 2% (w/v) Cellulase YC and 0.5% (w/v) Macerozyme R- 10 which
was dissolved in washing solution (0.4 M mannitol and 10mM CaCl2) at pH 5.6 for 3
hours. The highest number of viable protoplasts was released from 5-d old culture of a
homogenous cell suspension. Subsequently, three kinds o[protoplast culture media were
simultaneously examined with four kinds of concentration of gelling agent. Culturing the
protoplasts on KM8p medium solidified with 1.2% agarose significantly enhanced
plating efficiency as well as microcolony formation. Afterwards, the microcalli actively
proliferated into friable watery callus when they were subcultured on MS medium
supplemented with 0.3 mg/l 2,4-D and 1.0 mg/l kinetin. Although the plant regeneration
from the protoplasts-derived calli has not yet been obtained, the reproducible
developmental step from protoplasts to callus in this study may facilitate the
establishment of somatic hybridization using C. cristata as one parent.

Abstract
The first work of isolation and culture of leaf bud protoplasts of Curcuma heyneana Val.
& Van Zijp was undertaken. Protoplasts were isolated from the second full expanded leaf
bud of C. heyneana grown in vitro. Some factors affecting the quantity and quality of
isolated protoplasts such as physiological condition of donor tissues, epidermis scrap out
treatment, membrane stabilizer, and osmoticum were studied. Enzyme solutions
containing Cellulase YC 2 %, Cellulase Onozuka R-l0 0.5%, Pectolyase Y-23 0.05 %,
Macerozyme Onozuka R-l0 0.5% , and varied in CaCI2.2H20 as well as sorbitol were
tested. The enzyme solution containing 5 mM CaCI2.2H20 and 0.4 M sorbitol provided
the highest yield of protoplast (7.3 x l06 protoplasts / g fw). However, in all enzyme
solutions tested the protoplast viability was low which range from 0.3 to 2.6%. Cell wall
regeneration was not observed on protoplast cultured in modified KM8p liquid medium.
Abstract
Extract of mistletoes has been traditionally used since a long time ago, however little is
known about the species of mistletoes used, the bio-active compounds as well as the
chemical relationship between mistletoes and their host plants as a pharmalogical point of
view. Research, which had been done overseas, has shown that extract of mistletoe
having pharmalogical activity therefore extract of Indonesian mistletoes should be
examined concerning of finding new valuable materials of Indonesian native plants as
phamilogical products. The aim of this experiment was to isolate and identify flavonoids,
alkaloids and proteins found in mistletoes. Isolation and identification of flavonoids,
alkaloids and proteins conducted using various chromatographic methods including thin
layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, UV/Vis analysis shown
that mistletoes have their own pattern of flavonoids and not qualitatively influenced by
the host plants while alkaloids found in the mistletoes were resembles to those in the host
plants. The isolation and identification of bio active protein in the mistletoes which are
assumed to have pharmalogical activity, had not been elucidated yet.

Abstract
In vitro plant regeneration of soybean via somatic embryogenesis often produce abnormal
somatic embrio (SE) that has low regeneration ability. Some of the experiments showed
that the amino acid has important role to increase the SE growth and development. The
objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the effect of amino acid on growth and
development of SE from 3 soybean genotypes. Somatic embryo were induced from 3
genotypes: L. Bewok, B 3731 and Petek by culturing of soybeans SE on liquid modified
MS medium consist of macronutrient + micronutrient MS + B5 Vitamin + 15 g sucrose +
10 ppm NAA + 10 ppm 2,4-D. The effect of amino acid on SE growth and development
was evaluated by culturing SE on SE induction medium containing various amino acid
(asparagine, glutamine, proline and D-alanine) at 10 mM, 30 mM, 50 mM concentrations.
The experiment were carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design
(RCBD) with LSD continous test (α0,05). The amino acid addition on medium, decreased
the SE growth but increased the cotyledonary stage and maturation of SE. Effect of
amino acid on SE growth and development, depended on kind and concentration of
amino acid and also tested the soybean genotypes. Application of asparagine, glutamine
and proline on medium had no any effect on percentage of explant of 3 genotypes
forming SE, but decreased the number both of total SE and SE per explant from L Bewok
genotype. Medium containing D-alanin could not induce SE of three genotype soybean to
form SE. Meanwhile asparagine significantly enhanced the development of cotyledonary
stage and maturation of SE from L. Bewok 7% and 9% and 6% and 8% on B 3731
genotypes. The cotyledonary stage and maturation of SE from petek genotype was
enhanced 5% dan 8% by proline addition. On the contrary, the addition of glutamine on
medium decresed cotyledonary stage and maturation of SE from 3 soybean genotypes.

Abstract
The supply of disease free seedlings of Pogostemon spp or patchouli is very important to
improve the production of the aromatic compound. Patchouli Mottle Virus (PatMoV) is
the most severe disease on patchouli. Serological detection tool for the disease was
developed in this research. Explants for in vitro propagation of Pogostemon cablin was
obtained from healthy plant originated from non endemic area. Disinfection technique
was applied by immersing the explants in 0.5% NaOC1 for 20 minutes and rinsed in
sterile distilled water. The most optimum medium for inducing shoots was MS medium
supplemented with 1 mg/L of NA\ and 0.1 mg/L of BAP produced more than 50
shoots/explant. The best medium for inducing callus was containing 0.1 mg/mi of 2,4-D.
Shoot was appeared in the culture 19 days after planting, whereas callus was emerged 12
days after planting. Virus isolation was conducted on Chenopodium amaraticolor
resulted on the homogenous local lesions 6 days after inoculation. Virus purification was
obtained from 200 g inoculated leaves resulted on 2 ml virus solution with the
concentration of 1 mg/ml. Polyclonal antibodies were produced on rabbits. Harvested
antiserum was used for further research of virus detection by I-ELISA. The antibodies
were positively reacted with purified viruses at the concentration of 10 ?g, infected field
collection of patchouli, and inoculated C. amaranticolor. On the other hand symptom-
less field samples of patchouli and healthy and plantlets gave negative reaction with the
antibodies. This is the first report of cheap practical antibody production for PatMoV
detection in Indonesia

Abstract
Morphological variability of Kyllinga found in Malang, Indonesia was observed based on
ten identified characters selected from previous dichotomous keys (Delahaussaye &
Thieret 1967; Kern 1974; Bryson et al. 1997). The samples were taken from ten study
sites where the first 5 groups of variants were based on color and head number of
inflorescence. Their position was recognized using a table key formed from the ranked
appropriate characters and referred to the established species from Malesiana (Kern
1974) and Java (Backer 1968) region. Cluster analysis was done to support their position.
This study revealed that the tree variants, having white inflorescence, were in similar
position with Cyperus kyllingia. The two variants, having green inflorescence, were in
similar with C. brevifolius. The five variants found in this study showed wide
morphological variability than the referred species described previously. However, based
on the cluster analysis, the five variants were close position in a cluster and they showed
not much differentiated variability.

Abstract
Different responses of Different responses of Cyperus brevifolius and Cyperus kyllingia
to varying soil water regimes were examined to explain their successful existence in a
diverse range of habitats throughout the year in Indonesia. Thirty 43-day sprouts of each
species were grown in three soil conditions, namely drought, field capacity, and flooding
under greenhouse conditions. Plant height, leaf length, tiller number, and flower number
were measured twice a week, from 45 to 98 days after sowing (DAS), while the other 12
traits were recorded at the end of the observation time. Ten out of the twelve traits were
substantially influenced by the soil water content. Both species exhibited their best
growth, production, and reproduction under field capacity conditions, and these traits
were greatly subdued under drought conditions. Under drought conditions, both species
manifested reduced growth and leaf expansion; however, stomatal aperture and frequency
did not exhibit strong response to the soil water content. C. brevifolius showed a
significantly greater biomass production and reproductive traits in field capacity and
flooded conditions, but under drought conditions, growth was greatly hampered and only
vegetative propagation occurred. On the other hand, C. kyllingia showed a higher
tolerance to drought conditions, indicated by both a higher biomass and a higher number
of flowers. The results obtained suggest that survival ability when faced with drought
conditions was more apparent in C. kyllingia than in C. brevifolius, but where there was
sufficient soil water, C. brevifolius was more prolific. This could be the explanation for
the dominance of C.brevifolius in flooded areas and during the rainy season, and the
occurrence of C. kyllingia in wider range of habitats throughout the year.
Abstract
Purwodadi Botanical Garden has more than one hundred collection of cultivated bananas.
The major problem in keeping their existency is the occurring of Fusarium wilt disease
which has commonly controlled by pesticide or eradication to terminate the infectious
cycles. Trichoderma and Gliocladium were frequently used as antagonist fungus in
controlling the Fusarium wilt disease in kenaf, tomato or the other plants. So, this study
aims was to know the potency of Trichoderma and Gliocladium on Fusarium growth
inhibition. The experimental design was done by Randomized Complete Design Factorial
using three factors i.e. antagonist fungus, Fusarium and growth distance. The level of
retardation was measured by the growth distance of Fusarium that interacted to
antagonist fungus and data analysis were conducted by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
The results showed that Trichoderma has higher inhibition than Gliocladium and the
highest inhibition occurred at 1 cm distance of inoculum which was performed on
Fusarium 4 (77.78%). There was not any significant differencies between Fusarium 1
with Trichoderma (73.55%) and Fusarium 2 with Gliocladium (73.33%). At 2 cm
distance, the highest inhibition occurred in Fusarium 3 by Trichoderma (72.71%), which
was not significantly different with Fusarium 1, 2 and 4. While at 3 cm distance, the
highest inhibition on Fusarium 4 by Trichoderma was 51.11% and not significantly
different from Fusarium 1, 2 and 3.
Abstract
Bacteria strains consisting of Pseudomonas sp. Strain J and R isolated from river
ecosystem polluted and Pseudomonas sp. Strain A and B isolated from river ecosystem
unpolluted by detergent were capable to degrade of LAS. The objective of this research
was to determine similarity value by numerically of LAS-degrading Pseudomonas strains
based on phenotype character and protein fingerprinting using three reference strains

FNCC063. Phenotype characteristics examined are cellular and colony morphology,
biochemical nature, capability to degrade polysaccharide, tolerance to various
environmental factors and antibiotics, and ability to ferment sugar. Cellular protein
fingerprinting was analyzed using SDS-PAGE discontinuous. Strains classification was
determined based on Simple Matching Method similarity index by UPGMA (Unweight
Pair Group Method with Average) algorithm. Based on phenotype nature, all strains have
similarity value 0.61; however, based on cellular protein fingerprinting, those strains have
similarity value 0.52. All strains of LAS-degraded were included in the genus of
Pseudomonas.
Abstract
LAS is one of the main pollutant in river water ecosystem. Fifteen strains of
Pseudomonas isolated from detergent pollutant river ecosystem were able to degrade
LAS. Based on growth ability of some strains, four strains (A, B, J and R) were chosen
and Pseudomonas putida FNCC-071 was used as standard strain. Strain J and R were
acclimated in simple mineral media using LAS as carbon source. The potency of bacteria
to degrade LAS was carried out in simple mineral media using LAS as carbon source.
Similarity among strains and standard Pseudomonas aeruginosa FN CC063, P.
fluorescens FNCC070 and P. putida FNCC071 were tested by UPGMA (Unweighted
Pair Group Method with Averages) algorithm based on phenotype and plasmid profile.
Test strains include in member of Pseudomonas genus because has similarity index more
than 62% compare to standard strains. Pseudomonas sp strain J and R have ability and
potency to degrade LAS better than P. putida FNCC-071 and Pseudomonas strain A and
B. The optimal growth of Pseudomonas strain J and R at LAS concentration of 150
mg/L, however, P. putida FNCC-071, Pseudomonas strain A and B at LAS concentration
of 75 mg/L. Each of Pseudomonas strain J and R able to degrade LAS at 52,67% and
48,9%, respectively, however, P. putida FNCC-071 able to degrade LAS at 34,97% for
four days. Pseudomonas strain A and B able to degrade LAS at 40,94% and 46,39%
respectively for nine days. The plasmid of test strain could not be analyzed yet because of
contamination with protein and carbohydrate. It is conclude that growth ability and
potency of Pseudomonas strain J and R adapted detergent pollution (LAS) are higher
than P. putida FNCC-071 and Pseudomonas strain A and B

Abstract
Determining the sex of bovine embrios before transfer are of considerably commercial
value, however, until the present time an efficient and practical test has yet to be found,
especially for local breeds. Currently, the method for determining embrio sex is a
molecular approach, one of which is the PCR system. By using the Y specific DNA
primer, bTSPY, this research attempted to discover whether the specificy DNA primer,
bTSPY, could amplify bovine DNA.
The DNA was isolated from blood samples by use of ?a salting out? method. DNA
amplification was carried out by PCR by employing the Y specific, bTSPY. The DNA
sample was then amplified by the Perkin Elmer Gene Amp PCR System for 35 cycles.
Each cycle consisted of DNA template denaturalization at 95 ?C for 1? minutes. After
this, primer annealing was implemented at 57 ?C for 1? minutes, and extended for a
further 2 minutes at 72 ?C. The cycles commenced with a hot start of 95 ?C for 5
minutes, and ended with incubation at 72 ?C for 7 minutes.
The results showed that the specific Y DNA primer bTSPY 5?-
AGTGCACTGCTTATACGGTCAGACT-3?, could amplify bovine DNA by forming a
DNA band of 2.494bp.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to research and detect the appearance of stress protein in
Friesian dairy cattle (FH) serum with the possibility of employing the findings as an
alternative and better method of determining the physiology and comfort of these cattle.
There is a hypothesis that extreme microclimatic conditions coupled with feed can induce
environmental stress that can be detected molecularly.
The study was conducted in the field on 40 dairy FH and PFH cows. Physiological
parameters observed were body temperatures, pulse and respiration rates, monitoring was
emplemented to record any incidence of stress proteins in blood serum by using SDS-
Page method (Laemli 1970). The data analysis on physiological status was done using T-
Tests and by a descriptive analysis for any appearance of stress proteins.
Study results show that the physiological status of FH cows depends a great deal on
management, which in turn strongly influences (P<0.01) pulse rates (61.4 vs 71.6 in areas
900 m above seal level) and respiratory speed (24.0 vs 39.0 at 900 m above sea level, and
25.6 vs 38.2 at 600 m above sea level). In PFH cows there was no significant effect on
variables. The physiological status of these cows were within normal limits. However,
differing serum protein patterns were observed between animals, with cows in poorer
condition having more variation in protein patterns. More detailed immunological studies
are required to provide firm confirmation of the above by using the western blotting
method.

dari hasil kuisioner rutin yang dilaksanakan oleh jurusan biologi terhadap proses belajar
mengajar tahun ajaran 2002/2003 dengan kesimpulan akhir mata kuliah ini perlu
perbaikan (lebih dari 15% responden memberikan nilai kurang).
Salah satu tolok ukur yang dipakai untuk melihat keberhasilan proses belajar mengajar
adalah nilai akhir yang diperoleh mahasiswa. Berdasarkan data semester sebelumnya,
baru 7,9% peserta mata kuliah ini yang mendapat nilai A; 38,8% mendapatkan nilai B
dan B+; sedang sebagian besar (47,1%) masih mendapatkan nilai C dan C+. Metode
perbaikan yang dilakukan pada perkuliahan adalah dengan pengadaan lecture note, serta
peningkatan kualitas alat bantu seperti penggunaan transparansi berwarna dan LCD.
Kualitas pelaksanaan praktikum juga ditingkatkan dengan memperbaiki petunjuk
praktikum yang telah ada dan penggunaan alat bantu yang dapat mempermudah
mahasiswa mengikuti dan memahami aktivitas praktikum. Selain itu untuk meningkatkan
peluang berdiskusi diadakan tutorial. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa usaha
perbaikan yang dilakukan memberikan peningkatan pemahaman dan hasil belajar
mahasiswa. Hal ini antara lain ditunjukkan oleh nilai UTS, nilai UAS serta nilai Ujian
Akhir Praktikum (UAP) yang meningkat dibandingkan dengan nilai tahun sebelumnya.
Disamping itu diketahui pula bahwa hasil belajar mahasiswa juga meningkat berdasarkan
hasil kuisioner.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria are dominantly living in milk and milk products. As probiotics, these
bacteria have characters tolerance to acidity of gastrointestinal tract and bile salt, able to
sompete with other microorganisms and maintain the balance of microflora in intestine
and improve our immunity system.
The objectives of this research was to observe the potency of lactic acid bacteria isolate
of Tulungagung (TLA-15 and TLA-20) as probiotics. Isolates were obtained from molk
produced by Kabupaten Tulungagung using MRS agar and NRLC agar. Both isolates
were selected based on Gram staining, ability of using lactose as carbon source, and
catalase test. The potency as probiotics was tested by tolerance of isolates to acidity of
gastrointestinal tracts at pH 3 to 6, using MRS broth enriched with 0.1% tryptone with
addition of bile salt concentration of 0.3% and 0.5%. Incubation were carried out at 37?C
in both aerob and anaerob conditions for 1 to 3 hours, then the number of viable cells was
counted using TPC method.
Results showed that both isolates viable at pH of gastrointestinal tract. Increasing of pH
and incubation period showed that viable cell of isolate TLA-15 larger than isolate TLA-
20. Both isolates tolerance to bile salts with concentration of 0.3%. Antagonism test of
isolate TLA-15 to Staphylococcus aureus on Nutrient Agar and NRLC Agar resulted
clear zones about 6.6 mm and 2.2 mm, respectively. From some tests mentioned above,
isolate TLA-15 has character as probiotic candidate.

Abstract
The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate responses of soybean genotype to
drought stress generated by polyethylene glycol (PEG) supplementation at germination
stage. Evaluations were conducted using four soybean genotypes (MLG2999,
MLG2805, B3731, and MSC8606) and two soybean varieties (Dieng and Kerinci). The
results indicated that supplementation of PEG in the germination medium reduced
germination responses of the soybean seeds. Drought tolerance soybean exhibited
different germination responses than that of drought sensitive one. Soybean genotypes
that were drought tolerance showed higher index of seed emmergence at 20% PEG, root
length at 10% PEG, seedling dry weight and hypocotyl length at 5% PEG, respectively,
than the sensitive one. This result confirmed MLG2805 as drought tolerance, and
MSC8606 as drought sensitive representatives soybean genotypes. Index of seed
emmergence at 20% PEG and index of hypocotyls length at 5% PEG can be used to
select drought resistance soybean at germination stage.

Abstract
The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the response against drought stress of
soybean somaclonal variants derived from in vitro selection of somatic embryos on
medium containing polyethylene glycol (PEG), to identify drought tolerance somaclones,
and to evaluate proline and total sugar content of the plants grown under water stress and
non-stress conditions. For each SC1 soybean genotype, 12 SC2 progenies derived from
its respective SC1 plants were grown in the plastic house under non-stress condition until
flowering period. At the flowering stage, six plants were kept under non-stress conditions
and the others were subjected to stress by watering the plants every four days. The stress
treatment was conducted up to harvesting. Leaf praline and total sugar content were
determined after 14 days of initial stress. During harvest, various vegetatif and generative
characters were measured and used to calculate drought sensitivity index and to
determine the response of evaluated genotypes against drought. Results of the
experiments indicated under the described stress condition, original soybean genotype
B3731 was identified as medium tolerance while MLG2999 and MSC8606 were drought
sensitive. On the other hand, a number of SC2 somaclones developed from somatic
embryos regenerated on selective medium containing 20% PEG were identified as
drought tolerance based on their drought sensitivity index. Drought tolerance somaclones
were identified from B3731 (medium tolerance genotypes), MLG2999 and MSC8606
(drought sensitive genotypes) at the frequency of 55%, 11%, and 33%, respectively.
Drought tolerance somaclones accumulated much higher praline than the original lines or
the drought sensitive somaclones. Total sugar accumulation showed no specific pattern
associated with the response of the original genotypes or somaclones against drought
stress.

Abstract
The objectives of this experiment were to determined the ability of polyethylene glycol
(PEG) to suppress soybean somatic embryos (SE) regeneration, to determine the use PEG
as selective agent in the medium, and the regeneration of plantlet from in vitro selected
SE on medium containing PEG. To determine the effect of PEG on regeneration, SE from
three soybean genotypes B3731, Tidar and MSC8606 were subjected to selective medium
containing 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% PEG. In vitro selection to identify variant SE, that were
tolerance to stress condition due to PEG, was conducted by exposing SE of soybean
genotypes B3731, MLG2999, and MSC8606 directly to the medium containing 20%
PEG for three months or by subjecting them subsequently to 10%, 15%, or 20% PEG,
each for one month period, respectively. The secondary somatic embryos developed from
explants from the selective medium were germinated and regenerated. The results
showed that selective medium containing PEG inhibited soybean SE development. The
sub-lethal level (lethal dose > 95%) were identified at concentration of 20% PEG. Direct
selection at 20% PEG resulted in less SE survival than that through stepwise increased of
PEG concentration. However, the results of the later approach of in vitro selection gave
more escaped. At the end in vitro selection 98 plantlets were regenerated from SE that
tolerated stress condition due to PEG. The plantlets were grown in the glass house to
produce SC2 and SC3 generation of seeds.

Abstract
The objectives of this experiment were to regenerate population of soybean somaclonal
variants from somatic embryos (SE), evaluate the existence of variation on qualitative
characters, and identify the genetics or epigenetics nature of the variant phenotypes
among population of somaclonal variants. Somatic embryos were induced on selective
medium containing 20% polyethylene glycol (PEG). The SE that was tolerance to stress
due to PEG in the media was germinated and population of somaclonal variant lines
derived from three soybean genotypes (B3731, MLG2999, and MSC8606) were
developed. Various qualitative and quantitative characters were compared among
population of the original lines and the SC1 and SC2 generation of somaclonal variants.
The genetics and epigenetics nature controlling variant phenotypes were determined by
comparing observation among SC1 and SC2 population. The results showed that large
variation in qualitative and quantitative characters of SC1 population originated from SE
and SC2 population from selfing of SC1. Among qualitative characters, rosette leaf, male
sterility, leaf base fusion, and pentafoliate leaflets were genetically controlled while
multiple shoots and difoliate leaflets were epigenetics. Most of somaclonal variant lines
showed less value for various quantitative characters compared to original lines.
However, a number of somaclonal variants showed relatively higher seed yield compared
to the original lines.

Abstract
By using microarray technology, chickpea gene expression changes in response to A.
rabiei inoculation in young and old tissues of the A. rabiei resistant FLIP94508C
accession were analyzed over a time course (24, 48 and 72 h post-inoculation (hpi)).
Gene expression changes were significant at 24 and 72 hpi, with more occurring at 72
hpi. The young tissue expressed fewer numbers and functional diversity of genes than the
old tissue, especially for the defence category. The total number genes that showed
differential expression in young or old tissues was 7 and 19 genes, respectively. By using
hierarchical cluster analysis, the young tissue at 72 hpi showed two distinct clusters,
where one cluster only consisted of genes within the defence category and the other
cluster included a mix of genes involved in metabolism, cell rescue and cellular
communication. All genes in these clusters were up-regulated. However, in the old tissue
at 72 hpi , one of two clusters included down-regulated genes while the other cluster
contained up-regulated genes. This cluster was composed three groups; two groups
consisted of defence-related genes and the other group was a mix of genes involved in
metabolism, transportation, cell rescue and cellular communication. In the defence
category, PR protein 4A was exclusively expressed in old tissue, while a disease
resistance response protein DRRG49-C was expressed only in young tissue.

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is one of the best-documented
animal models of autoimmune disease. We examined the role of CD8+CD122+regulatory
T cells, which we previously identified as naturally occurring regulatory T cells that
effectively regulate CD8+ T cells, in EAE. Depletion of CD8+CD122+regulatory T cells
by in vivo administration of anti-CD122 mAb resulted in persistent EAE symptoms.
Transfer of CD8+CD122+regulatory T cells into EAE mice at the peak EAE score
clearly improved symptoms, indicating an important role of CD8+CD122+regulatory T
cells in the recovery phase of EAE. This was further confirmed by an increase and a
decrease in the number of infiltrating T cells in the CNS and T cell cytokine production
in mice that were depleted of or complemented with CD8+CD122+cells. Furthermore,
transfer of preactivated CD8+CD122+ regulatory T cells resulted in diminished EAE
symptoms, especially in the recovery phase of EAE. These results elucidate the
essential role of CD8+CD122+regulatory T cells in the recovery phase of EAE and
suggest the preventive effect of preactivated CD8+CD122+_ regulatory T cells for EAE.

Abstract
CD8+CD122+ regulatory T cells (CD8+CD122+ Treg) are naturally occurring Treg that
effectively suppress the proliferation and IFN~γ production of both CD8+ and
CD4+target cells. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms of the recognition of
target cells by CD8+CD122+ Treg using an in vitro culture system that reconstitutes the
regulatory action of these cells. Naive CD8+CD122+ Treg co-cultured with pre-activated
T cells became active Treg that produced IL-10 and suppressed IFN~γ production from
the target T cells. CD8+CD122+ Treg effectively suppressed the IFN~γ production of
the target cells of syngeneic mouse strains but not of allogeneic mouse strains with
incompatible MHC. By using MHC-congeneic mouse strains, MHC-restricted uppression
by CD8+CD122+ Treg was further confirmed. The blockade of cell surface molecules
either on the Treg or on the target cells by specific blocking antibodies indicated that H-
2K, H-2D, α β TCR and CD8 were involved in the regulatory action but I-A and Qa-1
were not. These results indicate that CD8+CD122+ Treg recognize already-activated T
cells via the interaction of conventional MHC class I–α β TCR and become active
regulatory cells that produce IL-10 and suppress the target cells.

Summary
CD8 CD122 regulatory T cells are a newly identified, naturally occurring type of
regulatory T cell that produce interleukin-10 (IL-10) and effectively suppress interferon-c
(IFN-c) production from both CD8 and CD4 target cells. Molecular mechanisms
responsible for the recognition of target cells by CD8 CD122 regulatory T cells were
investigated in this study by using an in vitro culture system that reconstitutes the regu-
latory action of these cells. CD8 CD122 regulatory T cells did not produce IL-10 and did
not suppress the IFN-c production of allogeneic target T cells when they were stimulated
by immobilized anti-CD3 anti body alone, but they clearly produced IL-10 and
suppressed the IFN-c production of target cells when stimulated by anti-CD3 plus anti-
CD28- coated beads. IFN-c production by major histocompatibility complex-class
I-deficient T cells was also suppressed by CD8 CD122 regulatory T cells stimulated with
anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 antibody but was not suppressed by cells stimulated by anti-
CD3 alone. Experiments examining theblockade of cell surface molecules expressed on
either the regulatory cells or the target cells by adding specific neutralizing antibodies in
the culture indicated that CD80, CD86, and CD28 molecules were involved in the
2regulatory action, but cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4, ICOS and PD-1 3molecules
were not. Finally, CD8 CD122 cells isolated from CD28- knockout (CD28 ) mice showed
no regulatory activity. These results indicate that CD8 CD122 regulatory T cells
recognize target T cells via the interaction of CD80/CD86–CD28 molecules to become
active regulatory cells that produce suppressive factors such as IL-10.

Resistensi tanaman terhadap serangan pathogen sering lebih efektif pada tahap perkembangan
tertentu dari tanaman. Resistensi tanaman utuh atau jaringan cenderung meningkat selaras dengan
umur jaringan, organ atau tanaman. Penelitian terhadap semaian muda (umur 2 minggu) dan
tanaman dewasa (umur 8 minggu) dari 8 varietas di lakukan di rumah kaca dengan
menyemprotkan larutan spora Ascochyta rabiei (1x105 spore.ml-1) hingga menetes. Disease rating
(DR) diukur berdasarkan parameter daun dan batang. Dari dua tipe kacang arab (tipe desi dan tipe
kabuli), diperoleh hasil varietas Bumper (tipe kabuli) dan varietas lasseter (tipe desi)
menunjukkan DR paling tinggi pada tahap kecambah sedangkan pada tahap dewasa ditunjukkan
oleh Kaniva (tipe kabuli) dan Lasseter. Disease rating (DR) paling rendah ditunjukkan oleh F090
dan F508. Hasil ini selaras dengan karakter berbagai varietas kacang arab yang dikeluarkan oleh
VIDA (Victorian Institute Dryland Agriculture ) sehingga formula untuk menentukan disease
rating bisa digunakan untuk membedakan varietes yang resistant dan sensitive terhadap jamur
Ascochyta rabiei. Dengan formula tersebut juga ditunjukkan tanaman muda (tahap semaian) lebih

Limbah pertanian memiliki kandungan selulosa yang cukup tinggi sehingga sulit
didegradasi. Salah satu upaya pemanfaatan limbah tsb. adalah pengomposan.
Pemanfaatan bakteri selulolitik dan bakteri pemfiksasi nitrogen dapat mempercepat
pengomposan dan memperkaya kandungan nitrogen pada kompos.
Isolasi bakteri selulolitik diawali dengan pengayaan pada media mineral sederhana
mengandung 10% limbah jerami dan diinkubasi selama 9 hari. Isolat yang didapatkan
diseleksi berdasarkan zona bening yang terbentuk pada medium carboxymethylcellulose
(CMC) agar yang diinkubasi selama tiga hari. Selain itu dilakukan uji aktivitas selulolitik
dengan menumbuhkan isolat dalam medium CMCNFMM cair dengan waktu inkubasi 72
jam. Aktivitas selulase diuji secara kuantitatif dengan reagen DNS (dinitrosalicylic acid).
Didapatkan empat isolat bakteri selulolitik yang berpotensi dalam menghidrolisis
selulosa. Aktivitas selulolitik tertinggi dimiliki oleh isolat SBD1 sebesar 0,158 U/ml.
Berdasarkan hasil analisis 16S rDNA isolat tsb. adalah Microbacterium sp.

Perbedaan kacang arab atau chickpea (Cicer arietinum) dengan legume lainnya adalah
rambut kelenjar (glandular hair) di daun dan di permukaan tubuh chickpea memproduksi
asam malat. Legume umumnya tidak menghasilkan asam malat. Asam malat pada
chickpea mempunyai peran untuk pertahanan terhadap invasi Ascochyta rabiei.
Penambahan asam malat konsentrasi 0, 0.1, 1, 5 mM ke ‘Water Agar’ kosentrasi 3, 5, 7
dan 10 % memberikan hasil yang berbeda dalam perkecambahan spora Ascochyta rabiei
dan pertumbuhan dari spora yang berkecambah. Perkecambahan dan pertumbuhan A.
rabiei tidak bisa diamati pada agar konsentrasi 2 % yang berisi asam malat 0.1 mM,
karena agar-agar tidak bisa membeku namun membentuk suspensi seperti susu. Pada
konsentrasi yang lebih tinggi (3-10 % agar) , kecuali konsentrasi yang tertinggi (10%),
memberikan penurunan perkecambahan selaras dengan konsentrasi agar yang makin
tinggi. Perkecambahan dan pertumbuhan hifa menurun ketika konsentrasi asam malat
meningkat. Inkubasi spora pada larutan 0, 0.6 dan 2 mM asam malat menunjukkan
penurunan perkecambahan selaras dengan peningkatan asam malat. Pengukuran
kandungan asam malat yang disekresikan melalui permukaan daun menunjukkan bahwa
varietas sensitive (Lasseter) memiliki kandungan sekresi asam malat sedikit lebih tinggi
dibandingkan varietas tahan (FLIP508). Kandungan yang terukur pada Lasseter dan
FLIP508, konsentrasinya jauh lebih rendah (6.67-11.00 µM) dibandingkan konsentrasi
percobaan in vitro (0.1-5mM). Mungkin kandungan yang sedikit lebih tinggi pada
Lasseter membantu mendorong perkecambahan spora A. rabiei.

ABSTRACT
The objective of this research was to observe the carcinogenic effect of benzapyrene and NDEA
(nitrosodiethylamine) using female rat lung. Seven-day old female rats (Rattus norvegicus) were
divided on two groups. First group was injected (i.p.) benzapyrene low single dose 0,01 mg/g
BW, second group was high dose benzapirene treatment-rats were injected (i.p.) benzapyrene 0,1
mg/g BW once a week for 3 months (long-term exposure). NDEA 0,1 mg/g BW was injected
once a month for four months on female adult rats. Protein p53 was analyzed by
immunohistochemistry. The study showed that chronic benzapyrene dose decrease protein p53
expression, whereas pre-cancer benzapyrene dose and NDEA treatment increase protein p53
expression. The proliferative and apoptotic analysis showed that this difference may cause by the
balance of proliferative and apoptotic cells. The increasing of p53 on pre-cancer benzapyrene
was followed by decreasing of both proliferative and apoptotic cells. Both increasing of p53 on
NDEA treatment and decreasing of p53 expression on chronic benzapyrene dose was followed by
proliferation increasing and apoptotic decreasing. On this cases can be predicted that NDEA
treatment more carcinogenic than benzapyrene.

ABSTRACT
The objective of this research was to determine the genotypic and physiology
properties of two branching types of kenaf mutant line aroused from Ethyl Methane
Sulfonate (EMS) mutation. The genotypic property was observed based on the
existence of branching gene and the physiological character observed was the auxin
concentration. For molecular analysis, DNA of kenaf seed and leaves were isolated
using Doyle dan Doyle (1987) method. The sequence of branching gene was
identified using PCR and sequencing techniques. PCR was conducted using 5 pair of
primers including 4 specific primers which was designed base on the sequence of
branching genes AUX1, AXR1 of Arabidopsis thaliana, RMS1 of Pisum sativum, and
Ls of Lycopersicum esculentum, and one pair of degenerate primer designed from
amino acid conserve sequence of LAS, Ls and Moc genes. The PCR program used
was 93 oC, 1 minute denaturation, 30 second annealing at 56 oC, 1 minute ekstention
72 oC, for 35 cycles. Pre-heating for 1 minute at 93 oC, and the last extention phase
was done for 10 minutes at 72 oC. Sequencing was performed using the procedure
of Big Dye Terminator mix, at ABI 377A sequencer. Confirmation on the
physiological properties of branching lines was determined using
spectrophotometry methods.
Identification of branching gene using PCR and sequencing techniques showed
that the branching gene of kenaf was succesfully amplified by AUX1 and AXR1 primers
but were not amplified by Ls, RMS1, and Llm primers. This indicates that branching gene
of kenaf was homologous to branching gene of Arabidopsis thaliana. Molecular analysis
indicate that the gene act as auxin signaling, but different type of branching was
controlled by different allele of the same locus. The gene was the member of gene family
that control branching and active at the last phase of branching development by
controlling auxin signaling to determine whether the branching candidate continue to
develop or not. Determination of auxin content in the roots, apical shoot, and axilary
branches showed that the branching plants has higher auxin content in the apical shoot
compared to the content in the branches. This indicate that AUX1 control the formation
of branches by either controlling the content of auxin in the apical shoot and branches or
the ratio of auxin content in the shoot and branches
Since the mid of 1970’s, after test tube baby was born, the scientist were facing ethical
problem, bioethics, a relatively new area of ethics, has emerged at the fore front of
modern biological more over on clinical science. Many philosophical arguments against
organ donation stem from this field. Generally, the arguments are rooted in either
theological or ethical considerations.
The most successful common cloning technique in non-human mammals is the process
which produced Dolly sheep. It is also the technique used by Advanced Cell Technology
(ACT), the first company to successfully, clone early human embryos that stopped at the
six cell stage. The process is as follows: an egg cell taken from a donor has its nucleus
removed. Another cell with the genetic material to be cloned is fused with the original
egg cell. In theory, this process, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer, could be applied
to human beings, it was called Human reproductive cloning also might produce benefits
to create a fertility treatment that allows parents who are both infertile to have children
with at least some of their DNA in their offspring.
ACT also reported its attempts to clone stem cell lines by parthenogenesis, where an
unfertilized egg cell is induced to divide and grow as if it were fertilized, but only
incomplete blastocysts resulted. Even if it were practical with mammals, this technique
could work only with females. If it was applied in Human, it was called human
therapeutic cloning; it could provide genetically identical cells for regenerative medicine,
and tissues and cells for transplantation. Such cells, tissues, and organs would neither
trigger an immune response nor require the use of immunosuppressive drugs. Both basic
research and therapeutic development for serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease,
and diabetes, as well as improvements in burn treatment and reconstructive and cosmetic
surgery, are areas that might benefit from such new technology.
Basically from both advance technology above, inspired new technology namely Human
enhancement technology, it is refers to any attempt, whether temporary or permanent, to
overcome the current limitations of the human body, whether through natural or artifial
means. The term is sometimes applied to the use of technological means to select or alter
human aptitudes and other phenotypical characteristics, whether or not the alteration
results in characteristics that lie beyond the existing human range. Here, the test is
whether the technology is used for non-therapeutic purposes. Some bioethicists restrict
the term to the non-therapeutic application of specific technologies — neuro-, cyber,
gene, and nano-technologies – to human biology.
Life extension refers to an increase in maximum or average lifespan, especially in
humans, by slowing down or reversing the processes of aging. Average lifespan is
determined by vulnerability to accidents and age-related afflictions such as cancer or
cardiovascular disease. Extension of average lifespan can be achieved by good diet,
exercise and avoidance of hazards such as smoking and excessive eating of sugar
-containing foods. Maximum lifespan is determined by the rate of aging for a species
inherent in its genes and probably by certain environmental factors. Currently, the only
widely recognized method of extending maximum lifespan is calorie restriction.
Theoretically, extension of maximum lifespan can be achieved by reducing the rate of
aging damage, by periodic replacement of damages tissues, or by molecular repair or
rejuvenation of deteriorated cells and tissues.
Researchers of life extension are known as biogerontologists. They seek to understand
the nature of aging and they develop treatments to reverse aging processes or to at least
slow them down, for the improvement of health and the maintenance of youthful vigour
at every stage of life. (Biomedical gerontologists are distinguished from biogerontologists
in that the latter may take a purely academic interest in the biological mechanisms of
aging, without seeking a "cure".) Those who take advantage of life extension findings and
seek to apply them upon themselves are called "life extensionists" or "longevists". The
primary life extension strategy currently is to apply available anti-aging methods in the
hope of living long enough to benefit from a complete cure to aging once it is developed,
which given the rapidly advancing state of biogenetic and general medical technology,
could conceivably occur within the lifetimes of people living today.
Many biomedical gerontologists and life extensionists believe that future breakthroughs
in tissue rejuvenation with stem cells, organs replacement (with artificial organs or
xenotransplantation) and molecular repair will eliminate all aging and disease as well as
allow for complete rejuvenation to a youthful condition. Whether such breakthroughs can
occur within the next few decades is impossible to predict. Many life extensionists
arrange to be chronically preserved upon legal death so that they can await the time when
future medicine can eliminate disease, rejuvenate, them to a lasting youthful condition
and repair damage caused by the cryonics process.
Whether the maximum human lifespan should be extended is the subject of much ethical
debate amongst politicians and scientists. But the life extension movement, which began
in the early 1980s, continues to grow rapidly in popularity and momentum among
scientists and the general public opinion and interest.
