The plant material used was Phalaenopsis amabilis protocorms growth on NP medium+pepton (2 g/L). Protocorm were submerged in the culture of Agrobacterium tumefaciens that Ti‐plasmid had been filled with a T‐DNA construct of a pRGEB32 vector harboring sgRNA with PDS3 sequence. Detection for transformants was confirmed by PCR using HPT primers (545 bp), Cas9 primers (402 bp), PDS primers (280 bp) and trnL‐F (1200 bp) as an internal control. The results showed that 0.96% PDS transformants were obtained from PDS3T2 lines. Several transformant showed pale leaf color compared to non‐transformant plants. This study suggests that the target gene has successfully edited by CRISPR/Cas9 system and could be applied for that functional gene editing in orchids.","PeriodicalId":13452,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology","volume":"25 1","pages":"61-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49192701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the production is often impeded by drought stress involving WRKY genes as the defense regulator. Chitosan is considered as a promising alternative fertilizer and defense elicitor. Hence, this study aimed to determine the role of chitosan in improving plant growth and survival of red chili pepper against drought stress. At the onset of the generative phase, chili plants were subjected to 1 mg mL‐1 chitosan, 50 percent drought, or chitosan‐drought treatment. Observations were made on several growth parameters, opened stomata, and WRKY gene expression. The results showed that chitosan‐drought treatment decreased plant growth and yielded significantly. The percentage of opened stomata was recorded at 0.56‐fold lower than control. It was followed by the decrease of the relative expression of WRKY17 and WRKY53 genes up to 0.56 and 0.72‐fold lower than control, respectively. Therefore, we suggested that the double treatment of chitosan‐drought might decrease plant growth performance but increase the defense system by suppressing the expression level of the WRKY17 gene. Interestingly, the drought treatment significantly increased WRKY17 expression level up to 7‐fold higher than control. Hence, it was suggested that WRKY17 has a specific role in response to drought stress.","PeriodicalId":13452,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology","volume":"25 1","pages":"52-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42996952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of bFGF, EGF, and BDNF supplementation on the differentiation ability of rBMMSCs and rATMSCs into neurons and glial cells. MSCs were cultured with bFGF and EGF for 4 days and then BDNF was added until day 8. Characterization of MSCs before and after induction was carried out by observing the cell morphology and several cell markers. Flowcytometry analysis was performed for MSCs markers (CD90, CD29) and neurons and glial cell markers (A2B5, Beta‐III‐tubulin, PSAN‐CAM); while MAP‐2, a neuron marker, was analyzed by immunocytochemistry. Induction of both types of MSCs showed MAP‐2‐positive cells, decreased MSCs markers, and in rBMMSCs showed increased neuron markers. The number of neuron marker positive cells in rBMMSCS was higher than rATMSCs. This study showed that the addition of bFGF, EGF, and BDNF to the medium induced rBMMSCs into neurons and glial cells, but the conditions were not optimal for rATMSC as judged by the expression of neural markers (A2B5, Beta‐III‐tubulin, PSAN‐CAM, and MAP‐2).","PeriodicalId":13452,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology","volume":"25 1","pages":"43-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48787809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been known that TGE can be improved by histone deacetylase inhibitors (iHDACs) such as valproic acid (VPA). This study was conducted to examine the VPA effect on EPO protein expression in CHO‐K1 suspension adapted cells and to find the optimum concentration of VPA on transient EPO protein production. EPO proteins was quantified using the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The optimization of VPA concentrations showed that VPA increased the EPO protein yield by up to 2‐fold in transient EPO production, and the optimum concentration of VPA was 4 mM. VPA optimization was very helpful to obtain the maximum increase in the transiently expressed protein.

The open reading frame BacPhaCSynt has been successfully isolated, cloned and overexpressed the recombinant protein in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). To know the global architecture and catalytic mechanism, the structural prediction of BacPhaCSynt has been carried out by using MODELLER. The recombinant BacPhaCSynt exhibited monomeric molecular weight (MW) of 43.6 kDa, when it was analyzed on 12% SDS‐PAGE gel. Based on the structural prediction, BacPhaCSynt exhibited global architecture of α/β hydrolase fold, with the root mean square deviation (r.m.s.d) value of 0.94Å. The catalytic residues composition of BacPhaCSynt consists of C151, D307, and H336, but the H336 and D307 residues of the model have been distorted 62.8o and 175.2o from the corresponding residues of the template. Since the D307 is quite a distance from the H336, it might act as a general base for the activation of ‐OH group of the substrate.

However, expression profiling of these genes in the local black soybean varieties is still limited. This study investigated the gene expression levels of the CHS8, CHI1A, IFS2, and CHR genes in local varieties, namely, UP106 (high isoflavone) and UP122 (low isoflavone) and its progenies, i.e., UP106xUP122 and UP122xUP106. Relative gene expression profiling was conducted on the basis of Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT‐PCR) with ACT2/7 as a housekeeping gene. As a result, the expression level of CHS8 in UP122 is lower than that in UP106. No significant difference in the expression level of CHI1A was observed in all samples. The expression levels of CHS8 and CHI1A in both progenies were higher than that in the parental line, whereas the expression levels of IFS2 in both progenies were lower than that in the parental line. CHS8 and IFS2 expression from UP106xUP122 was higher than that from UP122xUP106, whereas CHI1A expression from UP122xUP106 was higher than that from UP106xUP122.
