(Dabai) Using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Marker Ting Jen Ching Resource Biotechnology Programme Faculty of Resource Science and Technology Universiti Malaysia Sarawak ABSTRACT Canarium odontophyllum Miq. is a perennial plant native to Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. The pistillate plants bear fruits twice a year and are more preferable than staminate plants. Thus, sex determination in Canarium odontophyllum at seedling stage is very important for crop improvement processes because it accelerates the identification of fruitful pistillate plants. In this study, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to amplify DNA segments, with the objective of finding molecular markers associated to sex determination locus in this species. DNA was isolated from one male and three female Dabai trees and subjected to RAPD analysis. Of 52 RAPD primers, one primer (OPL – 03) produced an approximately 1,000 bp amplification band detectable in all pistillate plants, while absent in the staminate plants. The exclusiveness of this female-specific diagnostic band could be used in a breeding program to screen the gender of Dabai trees long before they reach reproductive maturity, resulting in considerable savings of time and economic resources. Key words: Canarium odontophyllum Miq., sex determination, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), molecular markers, diagnostic band. ABSTRAK Canarium odontophyllum Miq. adalah sejenis tumbuhan yang hanya terdapat di Malaysia, Indonesia dan Filipina. Pokok betina akan menghasilkan buah dua kali setahun dan lebih digemari daripada pokok jantan. Oleh itu, penentuan seks Canarium odontophyllum pada tahap anak benih adalah amat penting untuk proses pemajuan tanaman kerana ia mempercepatkan identifikasi pokok jantan yang berbuah. Dalam kajian ini, teknik Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) telah digunakan untuk mengamplifikasikan segmen DNA dengan objektif untuk mencari marker molekular berkaitan dengan lokus penentuan seks dalam spesies ini. DNA telah dipencilkan daripada satu pokok jantan dan tiga pokok betina Dabai dan digunakan dalam analisis RAPD. Daripada 52 pencetus RAPD, satu pencetus (OPL – 03) telah menghasilkan band amplifikasi bersaiz lebih kurang 1,000 bp yang boleh dikesan dalam semua pokok betina tetapi tidak dalam pokok jantan. Band diagnostik pokok betina yang unik ini boleh digunakan dalam program pembiakan untuk mengesan jantina pokok Dabai sebelum pokok tersebut mencapai tahap matang. Ini akan menjimatkan masa dan sumber ekonomi. Kata kunci: Canarium odontophyllum Miq., penentuan seks, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), marker molekular, band diagnostik. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS i ABSTRACT/ ABSTRAK ii TABLE OF CONTENTS iii LIST OF FIGURES v LIST OF TABLES vii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS viii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Canarium odontophyllum Miq. 5 2.1.1 Distribution 6 2.1.2 General Morphology 6 2.1.3 Uses and Economic Importance 8 2.2 Sex Determination in Plant 8 2.3 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) 10 2.4 Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) 11 CHAPTER III MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.1 Plant Material 14 3.2 Total Genomic DNA Isolation of Canarium 14 odontophyllum 3.3 DNA Purification 15 3.4 DNA Quantification 16 3.5 Spectrophotometric Quantitation of DNA 17 3.6 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Amplification 18 3.7 Selection of Sex-related RAPD Diagnostic Bands in 19 C. odontophyllum iii CHAPTER IV RESULTS 4.1 Total Genomic DNA Isolation 20 4.2 DNA Purification 21 4.3 DNA Quantitation 22 4.4 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Amplification 24 4.4.1 RAPD Primer Screening 24 4.4.2 Comparison of Male and Female DNA 25 4.4.3 Identification of Female Sex-assiocated RAPD 28 Dignostic Band in C. odontophyllum CHAPTER V DISCUSSION 5.1 Total Genomic DNA Isolation 30 5.2 DNA Purification 31 5.3 DNA Quantitation 32 5.4 RAPD-PCR Amplification 33 5.4.1 Primer Screening 34 5.4.2 RAPD Analysis 35 5.4.3 RAPD Trouble-shooting 37 CHAPTER VI CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 38 REFERENCES 40 APPENDICES APPENDIX A The 52 RAPD primer sequences 45 APPENDIX B Primer screening of the 52 RAPD primers through PCR 47 amplification of male DNA sample (D4) of C. odontophyllum iv LIST OF FIGURES Figure No. Page 2.1 20 years old female Dabai trees that achieve up to 20 metres in 6 height 2.2 (A) Mature Dabai Fruits 7 (B) Immature Dabai Fruits 2.3 Edible part of Dabai fruit 7 4.1 0.8% agarose gel showing DNA isolated from three female (D1, 20 D2, D3) and one male leaves (D4) of C. odontophyllum.

Nev- ertheless, solvents extraction may exhibit harmful effects. The present study was aimed to evaluate the safety of using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SCO2) of dabai pulp oil by acute toxicity study in Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Methods: The CO pulp oil extract was prepared by SCO2 extraction of the freeze- dried pulp and was administered orally to SPF SD rats (consisted of 5 rats/sex/group) at upper limit dose 5000 mg/kg body weight (BW) for 14 days. The study includes the control and treatment groups, each consisting of 5 male and female rats. The rats were fed and allowed to drink sterilized water ad libitum. Fatty acid composition (FAC) of the extract was determined using GC-FID. Electrolytes and biochemical parameters in blood, as well as relative organs weight were measured. Results: The extract at a single dose of 5000 mg/kg did not cause any acute toxicity effects or mortality to the treatment of rats during observation periods in 14 days.

Accepted 26 October, 2010 Dabai (Canarium odontophyllum Miq.) is an indigenous fruit to East Malaysia, Palawan (Philippines) and Sumatra (Indonesia). The fruits are hard, and locals prepare the fruit by seeping it in about 50°C water for 15 to 20 min to soften the flesh and eaten with salt and/or sugar. It is hypothesized; and exogenous ethylene could be used as an alternative method to soften the fruit. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine postharvest quality of dabai fruit using 0, 10, 50 and 100 ml/L of exogenous ethylene exposed for 0, 24, 48 and 72 h at 27°C. Carbon dioxide production in ethylene treated dabai fruit followed a pattern, in that as concentration of exogenous ethylene increased, the carbon dioxide production decreased. Exogenous ethylene induced production of endogenous ethylene with highest ethylene production at 24 h exposure among four ethylene exposure duration. The skin and flesh colour of dabai fruit changed as ethylene exposure duration progressed. Exogenous ethylene affected dabai fruit firmness significantly while soluble solids concentration increased as exposure duration advanced. The titratable acidity of dabai fruit increased irrespective of exogenous ethylene concentration and exposure duration.

Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode difusi agar menggunakan media Muller Hilton Agar. Klindamisin sebagai kontrol positif dan Na.CMC 1% sebagai kontrol negatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak daun Kenari (Canarium indicum L.) memiliki aktivitas antibakteri terhadap Staphylococcus epidermidis dan Propionibacterium acnes. Aktivitas antibakteri daun Kenari (Canarium indicum L.) dengan konsentrasi 2%, 4% dan 6% memberikan zona hambat masing-masing sebesar 19 mm, 19,64 mm, dan 23,44 mm terhadap Staphylococcus epidermidis. Aktivitas antibakteri daun Kenari (Canarium indicum L.) dengan konsentrasi 2%, 4% dan 6% memberikan zona hambat masing-masing sebesar 17,36 mm, 20,41 mm, dan 23,30 mm terhadap Propionibacterium acnes.
