Basal stem rot (BSR) caused by hemibiotroph Ganoderma boninense is a devastating disease resulting in major loss to the oil palm industry. Since there no physical symptom at early stage of G. infection, characterisation molecular defense responses during interaction with fungus utmost importance. Oil (Elaeis guineensis) seedlings were artificially infected inoculums and root samples obtained following time-course 0, 3, 7, 11 days-post-inoculation (d.p.i) for RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)...
Excessive production of melanin implicates hyperpigmentation disorders. Flavokawain A (FLA) and flavokawain B (FLB) have been reported with anti-melanogenic activity, but their melanogenic inhibition toxicity effects on the vertebrate model zebrafish are still unknown. In present study, cytotoxic as well FLA FLB cellular content tyrosinase activity were evaluated in α-MSH-induced B16/F10 cells. Master regulator microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (Mitf) other downstream...
The increasing activity of meliponiculture which plays a role as natural agricultural pollinator well the production stingless bee honey over time has encouraged high-impact research efforts around world. Stingless is known "superfood" product and received significant attention due to its various applications such treatment diseases both traditionally clinically. In this context, understanding interesting topics expanding network collaborations desirable advance towards integrated efforts,...
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus has recently been identified as a mediator of neurodegeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms have not clearly elucidated. We aimed to investigate insulin resistance associated with neurodegenerative events in zebrafish larvae. Methods: Larvae aged 72 h-post-fertilization (hpf) were induced by immersion 250 nM and then reinduced 100 at 96 hpf. This model was validated glucose levels assay, qPCR analysis selected genes (akt, pepck, zglut3 claudin-5a)...
Abstract Background Hemibiotrophic pathogen such as the fungal Ganoderma boninense that is destructive to oil palm, manipulates host defense mechanism by strategically switching from biotrophic necrotrophic phase. Our previous study revealed two distinguishable expression profiles of palm genes formed basis in deducing phase at early interaction which switched a later stage infection. Results The present report continuing our published transcriptomic profiling seedlings against G. . We...
