Abstract Asian elephants ( Elephas maximus ) have inhabited almost all forests in tropical Asia until recently, yet little is known about their role ecological processes, particularly the Sundaic of South‐East Asia. These are peculiar phenology, with supra‐annual and highly irregular episodes mast fruiting. Here, we present a long‐term (6‐year) monitoring seeds dispersed by dipterocarp northern Peninsular Malaysia. We conducted monthly dung surveys at two mineral licks (11.3 km apart)...
Platinum-based anticancer drugs act therapeutically by forming DNA adducts, but suffer from severe toxicity and resistance problems, which have not been overcome in spite of decades research. And yet defined chromatin targets generally considered the drug development process. Here we designed novel platinum-intercalator species to target a highly deformed site near nucleosome center. Between two seemingly similar structural isomers, find striking difference selectivity vitro, comes about...
Boesenbergia rotunda (L.) Mansf. is an edible herb that commonly used in the cuisine of several Asian countries. Studies have shown it possesses high bioactivity against a variety cancer cells. In this study, we investigated cytotoxic activity rhizomes and some its constituents on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (HK1). MTT assay results showed methanolic hexane extracts decreased HK1 cell viability with IC50 values 136 µg/ml 66 µg/ml, respectively. Cardamonin, constituent rotunda, exhibited...
Vanilla is a popular flavouring essence derived from the pods of vanilla orchid plants. Due to high demand for flavour, yielding plantlets are necessary establishing plantations. Clonal micropropagation viable technique mass production plantlets. This study reports an efficient regeneration protocol by using cytokinin as sole plant growth regulator regenerate root tips commercial species, planifolia. Most studies date have reported seeds and nodes starting explants in vitro orchids. So far,...
Capsicum is a genus of an important spice crop that belongs to the chili lineage. However, many species (family Solanaceae) are known be recalcitrant genetic transformation and in vitro regeneration, thus hampering effort using for detailed biological investigation. In this study, we have developed optimized protocol direct frutescens L. cv. Hot Lava biolistic particle delivery system. addition, procedure whole plant regeneration from hypocotyl explants C. was established. study on system,...
Multiple shoots of Vanilla planifolia were induced from nodal explants under influence different concentrations plant growth regulators and coconut water (CW). A comparison shoot regeneration between semi solid liquid culture media was also investigated. Ninety seven per cent the produced a mean number 9.6 with length 4.70 cm when cultured on MS supplemented 1.0 mg/l BAP in combination 15% CW. Shoots generated rooted frequency 93% NAA 2.9 roots 4.0 within four weeks. The plantlets...
Over the last 10 years, food supply has been secured in Malaysia through a combination of local production and imported food. The occurrence COVID-19 disrupted chain with lockdown restriction known as Movement Control Order (MCO) put place to break transmission mode COVID-19. This article outlines chronological events that took after outbreak due religious gathering. impact MCO on chain, particularly urban residents, is also described, recommended approaches mitigate situation.
Research studies in the heterologous expression of exogenous genes living host cells are not new and have been ongoing since first recombinant DNA molecule was created 1970’s [1]. Conventionally, molecular cloning to produce very often revolve around cleavage chromosomal or polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified molecules using restriction enzymes insertion fragments interest with vector DNA, such as plasmids, bacmids cosmids, ligase. The that is constructed then delivered transformed...
