Abstract
Current analytical characterization of phytochemical is expensive and laborious. Alternatively, techniques such as biosensor with high binding affinity and specificity to the target such as aptamer emerged recently. Aptamers are oligonucleotides with structured molecules that can bind to their targets by specific 3-D conformation. Though aptamer technology have taken place for the past 30 years, little works have been conducted on its capacity to bind phytochemical compounds. Here, DNA aptamers named APT1 to APT30 3-D structures and possible binding mechanism of the aptamers-quercetin complex were evaluated in-silico. Secondary and tertiary structure of 28 potential DNA aptamers candidates were modelled adopting MFold and RNA Composer, respectively. The correspond sequence further modified from RNA to DNA by Discovery Studio Visualizer software. Applying AutoDock Vina, the aptamer-quercetin interactions were predicted. Amongst the aptamers, APT14, APT15 and APT1 displayed highest binding affinity with -9.4, -9.3 and -9.3 kcal/mol, respectively. Upon structure analysis, most of the binding sites that possess high docking energy were positioned at loops and stem conformation. The later plays an important role in stabilization while the bases within the loop motifs responsible in supporting the binding. The stability of potential aptamers-quercetin complex will be further explored for their specific intermolecular interaction using molecular dynamics simulation.

Abstract
A character that is inherited from parents to offspring is influenced by gene action. Genes that control plant character can be influenced by additive, epistatic or dominant gene action. The purpose of this study was to determine the inheritance of the morphological characters of leaves, pods and soybean seeds through analysis of gene action and the number of genes in F2 populations of UM 3.2 x Argomulyo and UM 6.1 x Burangrang cross. The experiment was carried out at Indonesian Legume and Tuber Crops Research Institute (Iletri) Kendalpayak, Malang, Indonesia. Estimating the gene action and the number of genes was done by measuring the value of skewness and kurtosis. The suitability of inheritance patterns was analyzed by using the chi-square test. The results showed that the character of leaf length, leaf width, pod thickness and seed hilum length in the UM 3.2 x Argomulyo cross were influenced by the additive genes action with complementary epistatic influences while the character of the petiol length, pod length, pod width, seed length, seed width, and seed thickness was affected by additive gene action with duplicate epistatic effects. In UM 6.1 x Burangrang cross, the characters of leaf width, pod thickness, seed width, seed thickness and length of seed hilum were influenced by the additive genes action with complementary influences while the characters of leaf length, petiole length, pod length, pod width, and seed length were influenced by additives gene action with duplicate epistatic influence. The characters of petiol length, pod length, pod width, pod thickness, seed length, seed width, and seed hilum length were controlled by many genes.

Abstract
The inhibitory potential of plants during early succession is crucial but little appreciated. Negative effects of these species can slow, arrest, or deflect succession. Aggressive invaders suppress plantings or nurse plants suppress desired target species. Such an inhibitory effect often causes problems during restoration. Study aggressive invaders would assist in informing ecological restoration. Here, line transects was used to investigate species composition and its characteristic on seven coal mine overburden dumping site in tropical climate. There are 124 plant species invaded coal mine overburden on early succession, and 70 of them are classified as invasive species, such as Acacia mangium, Chromolaena odorata, Centrosoma pubescens, Micania micrantha, Imperata cylindrica, and Lantana camara. Acacia mangium and Centrosoma pubescens which are widely planted for reclamation purposes on ex-coal mine area categorized invasive species. The negative impact of these species on inhibition of succession has been seen in certain location. Therefore, understanding the nature of species can facilitate the development of target species for accelerating succession.

Abstract
It has been investigated that the prevalence of Rheumatoid Arthtritis (RA) is 0.5% -1.0% in general population worldwide. Inflammation arises because of prostaglandins, which are proinflammatory mediators enacted by the stimulus. The key enzyme in inflammation is cyclooxygenase-2. Flavonoids have various biological effects in mammalian cells carried out both in vitro and in vivo. This study was carried out to predict the potential of flavonoid group compounds as anti-inflammatory agents for rheumatoid arthritis through virtual screening using molecular docking methods. This method was employed to predict the potential of flavonoid compounds using web server PASS SERVER, predictions of the pharmacokinetic properties of flavonoid compounds including absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity using pkCSM and molecular docking web servers to determine the interaction of COX-2 enzyme flavonoid compounds which was compared with control drugs. The results of this study indicated that flavonoid compounds (kaempferitrin, afzelin, and routine) could potentially replace the drug rofecoxib based on potential compounds, namely as anti-inflammatory, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, antioxidants, and anti-carcinogenic. Flavonoid compounds had a decent ADMET profile. The compound had considerable activity as an anti-inflammatory agent based on its interaction with the COX-2 enzyme as indicated by the binding affinity value of ± -8.5 kcal/mol.

Abstract
Keratin is an important biomaterial for industrial applications. About 90% of keratin is found in chicken feathers. Chicken feathers are accumulated from poultry processes and produced in millions of tons annually. Besides being abundant and cheap, keratin is insoluble in water and organic solvent which makes it difficult to recycle. Previous study showed that solid-state fermentation of keratinase using Bacillus sp. MD24 using chicken feathers a sole carbon and nitrogen source produced micro-keratin as a solid by-product. This paper reported our investigation in soluble keratin in liquid by-product. Liquid byproduct was produced through Solid-State Fermentation of keratinase for 10 consecutive days by Bacillus sp. MD24. Liquid by-product was separated from solid by-product by centrifugation at 2000 rpm. The size of soluble keratin was examined by zeta particle analyzer. The soluble keratin was filmed and the film was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and film surface was analyses using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Dissolution of keratin using ionic liquids ([BMIM])Cl and ([EMIM])Ac was done to compare its properties. Dissolution was performed under nitrogen atmosphere at 130 °C for 7 hours. Insoluble fraction was recovered by addition of water. The results showed the liquid by-product contains soluble keratin with ([EMIM])Ac is 1085,78 ± 359,7723 nm; ([BMIM])Cl is 1311,88 ± 573,0562 nm and SSF is 2677,4 ± 611,4363 nm. The FTIR spectrum indicated the presence of polypeptide with high concentration of S-H bond. There is no difference on surface structure between keratin biofilm produced from soluble keratin by-product and soluble keratin produced by dissolution using ionic liquid.

Abstract
Menopause is a condition where a woman lost protection from estrogen, causing susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. Such condition is caused by narrowing of arterial lumen induced by increased Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) activity and inflammation. It was reported that nicotine can reduce ROS production and act as anti-inflammation agent. Therefore, we conducted a research to explore the possibility of using nicotine to prevent arterial wall thickening and to reduce free radical activity. We did in vivo true experimental and randomized post-test only controlled group research in 18-20 weeks old Rattus norvegicus. We examine tail arterial wall thickness, lumen radius, and Wall to Lumen Ratio (WTLR), as well as Malondialdehyde (MDA) level as marker of ROS. The first group was normal rats (Sham). The second group represent ovariectomy group (ovariectomy-only/OVX). The third to fifth group was ovariectomized and given nicotine in dose of 0.25 mg/kg body weight (P1), 0.5 mg/kg (P2), and 0.75 mg/kg (P3). Group P1-P3 was given daily nicotine by oral route for 4 weeks, started from 3 weeks post ovariectomy. After treatment period was completed, needed organ was harvested. MDA levels of P3 were significantly lower than Ovx group (p = 0.036, Tukey HSD). P2 groups showed significantly thinner arterial wall (intimal-medial layer) than the Ovx group (p = 0.001, Tukey HSD). No significant different in lumen radius between groups was observed. WTLR measurement showed that P1, P2, and P3 has 6%, 42%, and 3% lower WTLR compared to Ovx group, respectively. Finally, we conclude that nicotine administration can prevent tail arterial wall thickening and has antioxidant Property.

Abstract
Adiponectin has a protective role in metabolic syndromes. Adiponectin gene polymorphism +276G>T (rs1501299) was reported has a strong relationship with increased adiponectin level. However, reports about this variant are still inconsistent in obese people. We investigated the association of adiponectin gene variant with circulating adiponectin. The study was performed with 110 apparently healthy adults about 20-40 years old Javanese people. Pregnant subjects and subjects either under diabetic or other metabolic syndrome medications, were excluded. Plasma was used to measure 8- hours fasting glucose and adiponectin level. PCR-RFLP examined DNA genotyping. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Fisher Exact test, independent t-test, and Mann Whitney test (p<0.05). Genotyping results showed three genotypes of this polymorphism, namely GG, GT, and TT. No significant difference in genotype distribution related to circulating adiponectin both in obese and lean group. Despite the fact about adiponectin lowering action in the obese group, this polymorphism may neither a risk factor nor protective variant for the Javanese population. These findings assert the adiponectin gene variant still vary in influencing circulating adiponectin among the different population.

Abstract
Soybean is an important food crop in Indonesia. One of the major problems in soybean production was a virus infection, with CpMMV as one of the most important viruses. The process of plant breeding to produce virus resistant soybeans and high productivity can be done by crossing virus resistant line with superior varieties. Important information in plant breeding program development of resistant varieties and high-productivity was to know the genetic of the trait, one of which is the maternal effect. The purpose of this study was to analyze the inheritance of maternal effects through the agronomical characters of F1 soybeans derived from the crossing of the Panderman variety and the CpMMV-resistant soybean lines. The experiment used a randomized block design with three replications. The results showed that the maternal effect was found out on the seed yield per plant for Panderman x UM61. Five crosses showed the maternal effect on the weight of 100 seeds namely Panderman x UM24, Panderman x UM34, Panderman x UM61, Panderman x UM63, and Panderman x UM73. Maternal effect on plant height was only found out in Panderman x UM62 cross. The maternal effect was also found on the number of unfilled pods in Panderman x UM34 and Panderman x UM61 crosses.

Abstract
Pollen dispersal can be used to design and manage seed orchards of Mahogany to fit the breeding demand. Pollen dispersal and mating system in mahogany can be elucidated through pollen dispersal pattern analysis based on genetic structure. Microsatellite is a co-dominant genetic marker that has been widely applied for DNA analysis. The objective is this work were to to determine specific primers for parentage analysis in mahogany, to calculate the distance of pollens travel from donor pollen to female recipient, to estimate the frequency of pollination, and to evaluate the proportion of selfing and outcrossing in mahogany. The field activity was done by collecting leaf samples at genetic resource area of Sulawesi BPTH, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The laboratory activities for genetic molecular analysis were conducted at Biotechnology and Tree Breeding Laboratory, Faculty of Forestry, Hasanuddin University, Indonesia. Results: The study indicated that the suitable primers for parentage analysis were sm05, sm18, and sm48. Pollens could travel up to 83 m apart from the evaluated female parents, and the highest frequency of pollination was 22 at 20 to 30 m. The proportion of outcrossing was 95% which indicated that mahogany trees in this evaluated area tend to outcross pollinate. Highly variable microsatellite markers have facilitated a direct genetic approach to measuring gene flow based on parentage analysis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is closely related to hypercholesterolemia (increased levels of total cholesterol in the blood). One effort to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis is by inhibiting the enzyme squalene synthase. The inhibition of the enzyme squalene synthase does not interfere with the biosynthesis of other important biological molecules and thus better side effects are expected for this inhibitor. The purpose of this study was to analyze geraniin, corilagin, and elagic acid compounds of rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) peel extract as squalene synthase inhibitors. Docking simulation has been performed using PyRx. Data from software and web tools were analyzed descriptively and compared with lapaquistat, a control drug that was proven to inhibit squalene synthase clinically. The docking results indicate that all ligands bind to squalene synthase active site and it has more stable bonds. Geraniin is the compound that has the lowest binding free energy (-12.2 kcal/mol). ADMET results show that on average 80% of geraniin, corilagin and ellagic acid compounds are absorbed by human digestion, well distributed, and don-t cause liver toxicity. The overall results indicated that the compounds could be potential as candidates for the structure-based drug design and the development of the pharmaceutical agents to treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women. The most common triggers for breast cancer are excessive expression of estrogen-α receptors (ER-α) which play an important role in the growth, development and pathophysiology of the breast, so that ER-α is an attractive drug target. Tamoxifen is one of the Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) to treat breast cancer patients, but this drug has a detrimental effect on the uterus, so a safe alternative is needed to use herbal ingredients such as Red Betel which is used by Indonesian people as traditional medicine. This study aims to predict the potential of compounds Kaempferitin, β-amyrin, Piperbetol, Piperine and Sesamin Sirih Merah as inhibitors of α-Estrogen Receptors (ER-α) through Molecular docking method, Potency Activity test and ADMET test using several software and web server. The docking results between the five red betel compounds and ER-α were at the same site as the Thamoxifen drug, through alkyl and hydrogen bonds with the affinity value of the red betel compound lower than the control drug. The results showed that red betel active compounds have the potential to be antineoplastic and antioxidant. Red betel active compounds have a good ADMET profile. The conclusions of this study are red betel compounds namely Kaempferitin, β-amyrin, Piperbetol, Piperine and Sesamin as potential candidates for breast anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, which is accompanied by damage, dysfunction of some organs and disturbance of the metabolism. In diabetes type II, there is a decrease of the ability of insulin to work in peripheral tissues (insulin resistance) and β cell dysfunction. As a result, the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to compensate for insulin resistance. Infection of Staphylococcus aureus in diabetes mellitus may worsen the condition. It can lead to bacteremia as well as increase the occurrence of inflammation. This research was aimed to know the molecular responses of rats (Rattus norvegicus) treated with streptozotocin and S.aureus via CD4 T cells and TGF-β levels. This research was Completely Randomized Design (RAL) experiment, with five groups of treatment. Group 1 was normal rats, Group 2 was bacteremia treatment with infection of S.aureus 10^8 CFU/mL, and three other groups were 45 mg/kg streptozotocin-induced diabetes with different level of S. aureus infection (10^5, 10^6 and 10^7 CFU/mL). Injections of streptozotocin were done intraperitoneally in high single dose (45 mg/kg). Blood glucose levels was measured after 2 days of STZ injection followed by Staphylococcus aureus injection intraperitoneally. The relative levels of CD4 T cells and TGF-β was measured by flowcytometry. The data was analyzed using One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) (α = 0.05). The results showed an average CD4 levels were relatively experienced 6.9%, 7.9% and 3.5% increase in group 3, 4 and 5 respectively. The average relative levels of TGF-β were decreased 0.7%, 3.1% and 5.1% in group 3, 4 and 5 respectively. In conclusion, the relative levels of CD4 increased while the relative levels of TGF-β decreased in streptozotocin-induced diabetes rats infected with Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
Asian sebass, barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Perciformes, Latidae) was first described in 1790 by the name of Holocentrus calcarifer by Bloch. The name of genus Lates by Cuvier & Valenciennes (1828) was given to comprise other species, including Nile perch (L. niloticus). Lates calcarifer is a type of fresh-seawater fish that has high economic value comparable to salmon and tuna. The population of Asian seabass in Australia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Japan was reported in different types. Lates lacdiva from Sri Lanka had a lower height than L. uwisara (Myanmar) and L. calcarifer (Australia). However, the attempt to describe and assess the diversity of Lates in Indonesia, including in the Bone Bay and Makassar Strait have never been done. This study analyzed the morphology and genetic diversity of barramundi caught in the Bone Bay and Makassar Strait waters as an effort to document and map species richness. Both morphological and genetic diversity of barramundi caught in both sites were low. The body was elongated with black caudal-fin. Barramundi from Bone Bay had a white-silver color, while those from the Makassar Strait were greenish in color. Dorsal-fin was divided in two parts with base of second dorsal fin less than that of first dorsal-fin. Third dorsal-fin spine longest. Dorsal-fin spines of Asian seabass from the Makassar Strait were more varied than that Bone Bay. Anal-fin spines of Asian Seabass from Bone Bay were varied than that Makassar strait with third anal-fin spine longest (III>II>I). The pectoral-fin was shorter than the pelvic-fin. The pelvic-fin did not reach the anus and generally separate, but in some specimens are fused by a thin membrane. Caudal-fin was rounded and consisted of 15-18 weak spines. Body height was 29.30- 33.35% to standard length (SL), with certain specimen was found with height up to 37.50% from SL. One small spine in the operculum with a position above the lateral line, and 4-5 small spines at the bottom of the pre-operculum. The highest genetic distance was 0.16% while the number of haplotypes was two with 0.00045 nucleotide diversity.

Abstract
The HAp scaffold has poor biodegradation. To increase biodegradation of HAp, it was composited with PVA, PEG and Chitosan polymers which had faster biodegradation properties. Nanofiber PVA/CS/PEG/HAp composites as scaffold in bone tissue engineering are prepared by electrospinning. The composition of HA varies 0, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6% v. HAp was synthesized from natural deposits and characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) to obtain phase, crystallinity and crystal size. Surface morphology and porosity of nanofiber composites were characterized by SEM-EDX. Increasing the concentration of HAp can increase the average diameter of the nanofiber and reduce porosity. Composite biodegradation of PVA/CS/PEG/HAp was also evaluated. Biodegradation test was carried out by immersing the sample in SBF solution (Simulated Body Fluid) for 1-4 weeks and the fastest mass reduction occurred in HAp (0%) and decreased with increasing concentration of HAp. This nanofiber HAp/CS/PEG/HAp composite can be applied as a scaffold in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
In the beginning of the menopause transition, most women experienced an increase in body weight and fat along with a decrease in lean body mass. Weight gain during menopause is related to declined circulating levels of estrogen. Obesity during menopause is related to many diseases, including cardiovascular accident. α7 nAChR is one of the receptors that can be activated by nicotine. Activation of α7nAChR can improve energy homeostasis. Administration of nicotine also can suppress appetite and body weight. Nicotine also has been reported to have antioxidant properties as well. Thus, we conducted this study to explore the effectiveness of nicotine in preventing weight gain and increasing Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Activity in ovariectomized Wistar rats. We did in vivo true experimental and randomized post-test only controlled group research in 18-20 weeks old Rattus norvegicus. We examine body weight and SOD activity in aorta abdominals as a marker of antioxidant activity. The first group was normal rats (Sham). The second to fifth group underwent bilateral ovariectomy. The second group represents the ovariectomy group (ovariectomy-only/OVX). The third to fifth group was dose 1 (P1 - .0.25 mg/kg), dose 2 (P2 - 0,5 mg/kg), and Dose 3 (P3 - 0,75 mg/kg) treatment group. Group P1-P3 was given daily per-oral nicotine for 28 days, started 3 weeks after ovariectomy. During day 29 after treatment, the organs were harvested. After treatment with nicotine was given, all the nicotine-treated group has lower body weight and weight gain compared to Ovx group. During the last measurement, statistically significant lower body weight was found in group P2 and P3 compared to Ovx group. P3 group was significantly higher SOD activity compared to the OVX group. Finally, we conclude that nicotine administration can prevent weight gain and it has antioxidant manner.
