  • Manipulation of Benzyl Acetate and Jasmone Content of Jasminum Sambac L
    AsPac J. Mol. Biol.Biol. Biotechnol. Biotechnol. 2015 Vol. 23 (1), 2015 253 Vol. 23 (1) : 253-256 Methods: Manipulation of Benzyl Acetate and Jasmone Content of Jasminum sambac L. Using Modified Murashige and Skoog Medium on Callus Explant Dwie Retna Suryaningsih*, Sri Arijanti Prakoeswa and Ribkahwati Faculty of Agriculture, University of Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Received 3rd February 2015/ Accepted 30th June 2015 Abstract. Jasmine (Jasminum sambac L.) is a flowering plant that grows in shrub form. Jasmine flowers have been extensively used as ornamental and for the production of fragrances, flowers, tea and essential oils. The amount of essential oil that can be collected from jasmine petals is very small relative to the material required, but is valued as the raw material for natural perfume and aromatherapy treatments. This study attempted to improve propagation from explant to manipulate essential jasmine oil production. Modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, produced from carbohydrate precursor compounds (MS + 20 % fructose, MS + 20 % glucose and MS + 20 % sucrose), was used to produce explants from young leaves and calluses. Essential oil (benzyl acetate and jasmine) content was highest in jasmine explant calluses grown on MS + 20 % sucrose. The content of benzyl acetate reached 1.27 % and jasmone content reached 1.15 % in 12 weeks old calluses. Keywords: Benzyl acetate, Explant, Jasminum sambac L., Jasmone, Precursor. INTRODUCTION Jasmine (Jasminum sambac L.) is an ornamental plant metabolites induced from calluses can be improved by extensively used in perfumery and religious purposes, a shrub changing the content of the components in the tissue herb which produces white flowers with a very pleasant culture medium or by adding precursor compounds into the fragance (Davallo, 2014).

  • Learning with Elders: Human Ecology and Eth- Nobotany Explorations In
    Human Organization, Vol. 75, No. 1, 2016 Copyright © 2016 by the Society for Applied Anthropology 0018-7259/16/010071-16$2.10/1 Learning with Elders: Human Ecology and Eth- nobotany Explorations in Northern and Central Vietnam Cory William Whitney, Vang Sin Min, Lê Hồng Giang, Vu Van Can, Keith Barber, and Tran Thi Lanh This article explores data gathered through an applied human ecology and ethnobotany study of selected elders from the Vietnamese Dao, Hmong, Kinh, Ma-Lieng, Sach, Tai, Tay, and Xinh-Mun ethnic groups. The research catalogued traditional uses and conservation practices related to biodiversity and plant use in northern and central Vietnam. The study utilized a human ecology systems theory approach developed by the indigenous and ethnic minority peoples’ networks of the Mekong region. Through ethnobotany feld interviews, the study gathered traditional knowledge of plants, including twenty-eight climbers, four ferns, twenty-nine annual and two perennial herbs, twenty-four shrubs, and twenty-four trees. Plant importance was analyzed using quantitative ethnobotany indices. Model tests of plant use and conservation support a human ecology systems model approach and suggest that culture, customary law, spiritual practices, and ethnobotany are important contributors to plant conservation practices. Key words: human ecology, indigenous knowledge, conservation, quantitative ethnobotany, Vietnam, ethnology, ethnobiology Cory William Whitney is associated with the Rhine-Waal University of Pha, Inta, Phonh Lamany, Vilay, Anong Soukphaphone

  • Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Anti-MRSA Activities of Extracts of Some Medicinal Plants: a Brief Review

Okwu 1,*, Mitsan Olley 2, Augustine O. Akpoka1 and Osazee E. Izevbuwa1 1 Department of Biological Sciences, College of Natural and Applied Sciences, Igbinedion University Okada, Edo State, Nigeria 2 Department of Pathology, Igbinedion University Teaching Hospital, Okada, Edo State, Nigeria * Correspondence: Email: [email protected]; Tel: +2348034918775. Abstract: The increasing emergence of multidrug-resistant infection causing microorganisms has become a significant burden globally. Despite the efforts of pharmaceuticals in producing relatively new antimicrobial drugs, they have resulted in a high rate of mortality, disability and diseases across the world especially in developing countries. Supporting this claim was the report of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who estimated that over 2 million illnesses and 23,000 deaths per year are attributable to antibiotic resistant pathogens in the United States. They include Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA), Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing gram-negative bacilli, Multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (MDRSP), Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. For MRSA, resistance is as a result of Methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) strains that have acquired Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) which carries mecA gene. The gene encodes the penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) which confers resistance to all β-lactam antibiotics.

  • By Susan Shelton Mural Imagery Key Top Section
    “Nurturing the Dream” By Susan Shelton Mural Imagery Key Top Section: The quotes reflect the overall theme of the mural: the importance of finding a balance between the work we do as students, workers, activists, and caregivers, and the time needed for reflection, nourishment of the spirit and restoration of strength. The large rectangular tiles on pillars A, B, C, D are inspired by Wangari Maathai’s “I Will be a Hummingbird” story. This folk tale poignantly illustrates the importance of doing one’s best, no matter how insignificant our efforts may feel at times, in the face of a seemingly insurmountable task. Pillars: The mural pillars showcase the conceptual and artistic participation of the students and staff of the Student Community Center, and other members of the university community, who were invited to contribute their suggestions for the imagery featured, and who also participated in painting the individual tiles. The tiles represent the various identities, paths, goals, causes and struggles of the students: academic, social, personal and political. Pillar A: 1. World View: North and South America 2. Wi-Fi Symbol/Connectivity 3. Power Symbol in the Digital Age 4. Hands Holding Seedling: Cultivating Hope/Justice/Stewardship 5. Filipino Sun 6. Irish Symbol: Love, Loyalty and Friendship 7.

  • Metal Thread Examination for Determining the Date, Origin and Distribution of Indonesian Songkèt Weaving
    Metal Thread Examination for Determining the Date, Origin and Distribution of Indonesian Songkèt Weaving presented by Puji Yosep Subagiyo1 International Symposium on Indonesian Textiles Jambi, November 6 ~ 9, 1996 A. INTRODUCTION Malaro (1985:3) states a museum definition as “a public or private nonprofit agency or institution organized on a permanent basis for essentially educational or esthetic purposes which, utilizing a professional staff, owns or utilizes tangible objects, cares for them, and exhibits them to the public on regular basis.” Considerable resources are required to store and conserve the museum object collections, and indeed to have access to them, can only be justified if the archives are available for use in the broadest sense. This requires that the collection be stored with the accessible information, and that this information be held on an organized documentation system. Also, the collection management is at the heart of a museum operation, because without collections there would be no broader issues of context and interpretation (Pearce, 1990: 67 & 113). In this connection, other authors2 provided the theoretical and empirical studies concerning cultural materials. They tried to measure the objects’ structure and property in reconstructing the human behavior involved in their processing and performance3. The author (1995a,b,c) then applied their system to study of Indonesian textiles, assuming that textiles are decontextualized objects. This paper discusses three metal threaded cloths, designated as TEX.01, TEX.02 and TEX.03 (see table 2) with the reference textiles. These three cloths are private collections which were purchased by Mr. Wahyono Martowikrido at Surakarta (Central Java), in 1985.

  • Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas
    Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center (JIFPRO) March 2015 Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Eiichiro Nakama, Seiichi Ohta, Yasuo Ohsumi, Tokunori Mori and Satohiko Sasaki Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center Fakhrur Razie, Hamdani Fauzi and Mahrus Aryadi Lambung Mangkurat University, Indonesia Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center March 2015 Foreword During the past decades, deforestation and forest degradation continues especially in developing countries. According to the report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation (FAO), approximately 13 million hectors of global forests have been lost annually due to forest land conversion to other land uses, forest fires and natural disasters, while reforestation and natural regeneration account for an increase of approx. 7.8 million hectors of forest cover. This means the net loss of global forest is estimated at 5.2 million hectors. Adverse impacts of forest conversion to farmland can be minimized as far as the land is properly used and managed in a sustainable manner. However, in some cases, problem soils are exposed and abandoned as degraded land. Deforestation by mining is a big issue these years. Problem soils such as strong acid soils and/or too much heavy metal soils appear at the ex-mining areas. In some cases it is too difficult to reforestate.
