Rhizophora mucronata is an important ecosystem entity of the Malaysian mangrove forest. Since species grows in a harsh environment, any organism that isolated from this would be huge interest due to its potential having novel bioactive compounds. In present work, we isolated, identified and characterized, total 78 fungal isolates harboring inside leaf tissues R. mucronata. Molecular identification using nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribe spacer (ITS) sequences returned with high...
Members of the CENTRORADIALIS (CEN)/TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) subfamily control shoot meristem identity, and loss-of-function mutations in both monopodial sympodial herbaceous plants result dramatic changes plant architecture. We studied degree conservation between woody perennial system regulation by overexpression RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated suppression poplar orthologs CEN, related gene MOTHER OF FT AND TFL (MFT). Field study transgenic poplars (Populus spp.) for over 6 years showed...
The identification of Aquilaria species from their resinous non-wood product, the agarwood, is challenging as conventional techniques alone are unable to ascertain origin. a highly protected due excessive exploitation its precious agarwood. Here, we applied DNA barcoding technique generate barcode sequences for and later barcodes identify source agarwood found in market. We developed reference library using eight candidate loci (matK, rbcL, rpoB, rpoC1, psbA-trnH, trnL-trnF, ITS, ITS2)...
Abstract Tree diversity in Asia's tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature‐based solutions. Species vulnerability multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, poorly understood. We conducted a region‐wide, spatially explicit assessment the 63 socioeconomically important tree species overexploitation, fire, overgrazing, habitat conversion, climate change. Trees were selected for from national priority lists, selections validated by an expert network...
Cadmium signifies a severe threat to crop productivity and green gram is notably iron sensitive plant which shows considerable variation towards cadmium stress. A gel-based proteomics analysis was performed with the roots of exposed combined treatments. The resulting data show that twenty three proteins were down-regulated in iron-deprived either absence (−Fe/−Cd) or presence (−Fe/+Cd) cadmium. These however well expressed under sufficient conditions, even (+Fe/+Cd). functional...
Abstract Aquilaria tree species are naturally distributed in the Indomalesian region and protected against over-exploitation. They produce a fragrant non-timber product of high economic value, agarwood. Ambiguous delimitation limited genetic information within among impediments to conservation efforts. In this study, we conducted comparative analysis on eight complete chloroplast (cp) genomes, which seven were newly sequenced using Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform followed by de novo assembly....
Grasses are abundant in many climatic regions of the world and have been regarded as weeds by many. This work investigated use Pennisetum purpureum (Napier grass) production bioethanol. Two pretreated grasses were compared initial substance hydrolysis process followed bacteria fermentation. For purpose breaking down lignin, alkali pretreatment, where grass was soaked 7% NaOH, used. biological incubated for 3 weeks with white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Both types materials...
The tribe Aquilarieae of the family Thymelaeaceae consists two genera, Aquilaria and Gyrinops, with a total 30 species, distributed from northeast India, through southeast Asia south China, to Papua New Guinea. They are an important botanical resource for fragrant agarwood, prized product derived injured or infected stems these species. aim this study was estimate genome size selected species comprehend evolutionary history speciation molecular phylogeny. Five non-coding chloroplast DNA...
Agarwood is the precious fragrant wood produced by tropical tree Aquilaria, often after elicitation wounding or fungal attack. In this study we established a cell suspension culture of A. malaccensis from leaf-derived callus and induced agarwood production in using elicitors. Elicitors were made crude mycelial extracts two species genera Trichoderma Lasidiplodia. The elicitors added to culture, initiated with 2 g fresh calli, at concentrations ranging 10 mg L-1. A light scent was detected...
Ceratocystis wilt disease surveys were conducted in three selected Malaysian Acacia mangium plantations. These completed revealed the occurrence of disease, with incidence infection ranging from 7.5% to 13.6%. Signs wood-boring insects, bark peeling due squirrel activity, and pruning wounds often associated this disease. The fungus most frequently isolated diseased trees was fungus. analysis on morphological characteristics has identified as fimbriata complex. Phylogenetic based sequences...
