This study aimed to characterise the gene expression during the growth and development of durian fruit at its young, mature, and ripening stages. We used a high-throughput RNA Sequencing approach to identify and characterise unknown transcripts (UTs) from durian fruit pulp transcriptomes. The categorisation of UTs relied on assessing their coding potential and conducting sequence analysis, followed by thorough manual curation. After mapping, 110 million high-quality reads were analysed for each of the nine samples, revealing that each contains 76,700 to 89,117 distinct transcripts and 561,211 to 646,291 exons. In the present analysis, we emphasised identifying and classifying UTs, disregarding transcripts with accurate annotations. Differential expression analysis identified 280 significant unknown transcripts, presumably involved in various biological functions in durian growth. The top BLASTn comparative analysis results for 183 unknown transcripts (UTs) primarily showed significant homology, ranging from 80 % to 100 %, with transcripts from closely related species within the Malvaceae family, including Bombax ceiba, Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium raimondii, Herrania umbratica, and Theobroma cacao. Functional annotation showed that many upregulated UTs may encode protein-coding genes involved in cellular and metabolic activities, catalytic and electron transfer activities, cellular and anatomical entities, and protein-containing complexes. Out of 97 UTs that do not have a BLASTn hit, 2 of them match GO terms, TCONS 00034019 and TCONS 00058246, corresponding to the InterPro GO Names, namely P: positive regulation of organ growth (GO:0046622) and F: calcium ion binding (GO:0005509). Three open reading frame (ORF) sequences longer than 300 nucleotides were identified as potential protein-coding genes through SMARTBLAST analysis, showing sequence similarities with Retropepsins, pepsin-like aspartate proteases, DUF4492 domain-containing protein, and a hypothetical protein CTI12_AA006750 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the dynamic gene expression patterns during durian fruit development. It highlights the significance of characterising unknown transcripts and their potential roles in biological processes, thus enhancing our understanding of durian genetics.","PeriodicalId":19210,"journal":{"name":"Nova Biotechnologica et Chimica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141353077","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}

Generally, diabetes mellitus is characterized by increased blood sugar levels caused by insulin secretion or action abnormalities. Natural products have become more popular in treating various types of diseases, including diabetes mellitus, due to their minimal adverse effects. Promoting the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARG) activation is an anti-diabetic strategy due to its biological function for adipocyte storage, mobilization, differentiation, and insulin sensitivity. This study aims to evaluate diosgenin and multiflorenol in silico as anti-diabetic drug candidates by targeting PPARG. Several analyses, such as molecular docking, protein target prediction, biological function prediction, protein-protein interaction, and pharmacokinetics analyses were carried out in this study. Computational prediction showed PPARG have involved in several activities, such as fat cell differentiation, fatty acid oxidation, fatty acid transport, and cellular response to fatty acid. The binding affinity score revealed that diosgenin and multiflorenol have a higher value than the control drug. Other characteristics, such as chemical interaction, amino acid residues, and physicochemical properties, demonstrated supportive drug development outcomes. Therefore, based on our findings, we suggested that diosgenin and multiflorenol, both of which target PPARG, would hold promise as potential candidates for an anti-diabetic drug.","PeriodicalId":19210,"journal":{"name":"Nova Biotechnologica et Chimica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140712107","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}

For these purposes, experiments involving solutions spiked by 65ZnCl2 were carried out under the conditions of batch systems. The prepared biosorbent in the form of dried biomass of E. gracilis (< 300 μm) was characterized in terms of the presence of functional groups (COOH, PO3H2, OH, and NH2), the concentration of binding sites cAn and the value of pHzpc = 6.6 using the modelling program ProtoFit. From the kinetics of Zn biosorption, it can be assumed that the Zn removal was a rapid process, in which the concentration equilibrium [Zn]solution : [Zn]biosorbent was stabilized in the first 5 min of interaction. In individual experiments, the effect of solution pH, initial biosorbent or Zn concentration were evaluated. Based on the MINEQL+ speciation modelling program, we predicted the decrease in the abundance of free Zn2+ cations in the presence of different concentrations of EDTA as a complexing agent in the solution. It was found that the Zn biosorption decreased linearly with the decreasing the proportion of Zn2+ in solution. The biosorption data expressed as equilibrium values of the remaining Zn concentration in solution Ceq (µmol.dm-3) and equilibrium values of specific adsorption Qeq (µmol.g-1; d.w.) were well fitted to the Langmuir model of adsorption isotherm in comparison with the Freundlich model.

Arthritis severity was determined via the changes in the diameters and volumes of hind paws, arthritic scores, total leukocyte count, ESR, biochemical parameters such as CRP and RF, as well as histological features of ankle joints. We found the presence of polyphenols and flavonoids with a high content (37.79 ± 0.88 mg GAE/g DW and 8.56 ± 0.37 mg QE/g DW, respectively) in the extract. Furthermore, the results showed that Freund’s complete adjuvant-treated mice exhibited a severe arthritic score and histological features, an increase in the diameters and volumes of hind paws, along with an elevation of leukocyte count, erythrocyte sediment rate, and biochemical parameters such as rheumatoid factor and C-reactive protein compared to normal mice. On the contrary, treatment with ethanol extract at a dose of 400 mg.kg-1 body weight for 28 days exhibited a strong anti-arthritis effect and could improve all the testing parameters at the same efficacy as those of the reference drug (Mobic 0.2 mg.kg-1 body weight).

Until now, synthetic fungicides are the most effective tools for management in agriculture, but they cause a severe impact on the environment as well as several side effects for human health. The use of synthetic fungicides is prohibited in organic agriculture; however, sulfur and copper fungicides are still permitted in organic farming. In this study, chitosan-stabilized copper chitosan nanoparticles (CS-CuNPs) were synthesized and characterized via UV-Vis analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, fungicidal activities of CS-CuNPs in the range of concentrations (00, 500, and 1000 mg/L) against several plant pathogenic fungi, including Magnaporthe oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani, and Phytophthora capsici, have been assessed via filamentous fugal growth inhibition. The results indicated that the size of CS-CuNPs ranged from 70 to 74 nm with the plasmon absorption peak at 600 nm, which implied the CS-CuNPs were successfully synthesized. Furthermore, CS-CuNPs effectively inhibited the growth of all three fungi at a concentration 1000 mg/L. Among the three species, Rhizoctonia solani was the most susceptible to CS-CuNPs, with the growth inhibitory effect at 100 mg/L.
