Abstract BackgroundPatchouli alcohol is an effective component of the medicinal plant patchouli. Similar to other secondary metabolites, its synthesis is likely also regulated by transcription factors. Although the biosynthetic pathway of patchouli alcohol has been characterized, the regulatory mechanism of patchouli alcohol biosynthesis has not been fully revealed.ResultsThis study combined the transcriptome data of patchouli leaves treated with different hormones and WGCNA to establish a coexpression network. The modules correlated to patchouli alcohol content were identified, and PcMYB25 played a crucial role in regulating patchouli alcohol biosynthesis. The overexpression of PcMYB25 can promote the expression of patchouli alcohol synthase (PTS), thereby increasing the content of patchouli alcohol.Conclusions This is the first report that MYB25 regulates the secondary metabolism of patchouli. These experimental results lay the foundation for further analysis of the regulatory mechanism of patchouli alcohol synthesis.

Artemisinin is an effective component of drugs against malaria. The regulation of artemisinin biosynthesis is at the forefront of artemisinin research. Previous studies showed that AaWRKY1 can regulate the expression ofADS, which is the first key enzyme in artemisinin biosynthetic pathway. In this study,AaWRKY1was cloned, and it activated ADSpro and CYPpro in tobacco using dual-LUC assay. To further study the function of AaWRKY1, pCAMBIA2300-AaWRKY1 construct under 35S promoter was generated. Transgenic plants containingAaWRKY1were obtained, and four independent lines with high expression ofAaWRKY1were analyzed. The expression ofADSandCYP, the key enzymes in artemisinin biosynthetic pathway, was dramatically increased inAaWRKY1-overexpressingA. annuaplants. Furthermore, the artemisinin yield increased significantly inAaWRKY1-overexpressingA. annuaplants. These results showed that AaWRKY1 increased the content of artemisinin by regulating the expression of bothADSandCYP. It provides a new insight into the mechanism of regulation on artemisinin biosynthesis via transcription factors in the future.

ABSTRAK<br />Tanaman nilam (Pogostemon cablin Benth) merupakan tanaman<br />atsiri utama di Indonesia. Saat ini sekitar 90% minyak nilam dunia<br />dihasilkan oleh Indonesia. Produktivitas dan mutu nilam sangat<br />dipengaruhi oleh faktor genetik dan lingkungan. Salah satu faktor<br />lingkungan abiotik yang sangat berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan<br />produksi nilam adalah cekaman kekeringan. Sampai saat ini informasi<br />mengenai toleransi nilam terhadap kekeringan masih sangat terbatas.<br />Untuk itu, sebuah penelitian pemanfaatan pupuk hayati mikoriza untuk<br />meningkatkan toleransi kekeringan pada tanaman nilam dilakukan pada<br />kondisi rumah kaca di Balai Penelitian Bioteknologi dan Sumberdaya<br />Genetika Pertanian pada bulan Januari sampai dengan bulan Juni 2003.<br />Percobaan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) yang disusun<br />secara faktorial dengan 3 ulangan. Faktor pertama 2 taraf aplikasi mikorisa<br />masing-masing dengan dan tanpa mikoriza. Faktor kedua adalah 4 taraf<br />cekaman kekeringan dengan tingkat pemberian air (KL) yang berbeda<br />masing-masing (1) tanpa cekaman kekeringan (100% KL), (2) cekaman<br />kekeringan rendah (75% KL), (3) cekaman kekeringan sedang (50% KL),<br />dan (4) cekaman kekeringan tinggi (25% KL). Aplikasi mikoriza dilakukan<br />1 bulan setelah tanam (BST), sedangkan perlakuan cekaman kekeringan<br />diberikan 2 BST. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilam yang diberi<br />mikoriza mempunyai pertumbuhan yang lebih baik. Kekeringan menekan<br />partumbuhan dan hasil tanaman nilam secara linier. Sebaliknya, cekaman<br />kekeringan mampu meningkatkan kadar minyak dan patchouli alkohol<br />daun nilam. Interaksi antara kedua faktor yang diuji terjadi pada parameter<br />panjang akar total dan kadar prolina daun nilam. Keberadaan mikoriza di<br />dalam akar mampu meningkatkan toleransi terhadap cekaman kekeringan.<br />Kandungan patchouli alkohol daun tertinggi dijumpai pada kombinasi<br />perlakuan aplikasi mikoriza dengan cekaman kekeringan tinggi (25% KL).<br />Kata kunci : Nilam, Pogostemon cablin Benth, mikoriza, cekaman<br />kekeringan, pertumbuhan, produktivitas, Jawa Barat<br />ABSTRACT<br />Use of mycorhiza bio-fertilizer in increasing drought<br />tolerance of patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin Benth)<br />Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth) is a primary essential oil in<br />Indonesia. More than 90 percent patchouli oil of the world is produced by<br />Indonesia. Productivity and quality of patchouli oil are strongly affected by<br />genetic and environmental factors. One of abiotic environment which has<br />strongly effected growth and productivity of patchouli is drought stress.<br />The information on the tolerance of patchouli to drought stress is limited.<br />For that purpose, an experiment of the effect of mycorhiza application and<br />drought stress treatments was conducted at a glass house condition in<br />Indonesian Agricultural Biotechnology and Genetic Resources Research<br />Institute, from January to June 2003. A factorial experiment was arranged<br />in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replication. The first<br />factor was 2 mycorhiza treatments namely with and without mycorhiza<br />inoculation. The second factor were 4 drought stress treatments using<br />different water application level (FC), i.e. (1) without drought stress (100%<br />FC), (2) lowly drought stress (75% FC), (3) moderately drought stress<br />(50% FC), and (4) highly drought stress (25% FC). Mycorhiza inoculation<br />was applied 1 month after planting (MAP). While drought stress treatments<br />were applied at 2 MAP. The results of observation showed that the<br />inoculation of mycorhiza improved growth performance. Drought stress<br />reduced growth and production components linearly. On the contrary, the<br />drought stress was able to increase oil and patchouli alcohol contents in the<br />leaf. The interaction between the two factors treatment was found on total<br />root length and leaf proline content. The existing of mycorhiza in<br />patchouli root was able to increase drought stress tolerance. The highest<br />patchouli alcohol content of leaf was found at mycorhiza application and<br />highly drought stress (25% FC) combination treatment.<br />Key words: Patchouli, Pogostemon cablin Benth, mycorhiza, drought<br />stress, growth, productivity, West Java

Peanuts are frequently infected by Aspergillus strains and then contaminated by aflatoxins (AF), which brings out economic losses and health risks. AF production is affected by diverse environmental factors, especially water activity (aw). In this study, A. flavus was inoculated into peanuts with different aw (0.90, 0.95, and 0.99). Both AFB1 yield and conidia production showed the highest level in aw 0.90 treatment. Transcriptional level analyses indicated that AF biosynthesis genes, especially the middle- and later-stage genes, were significantly up-regulated in aw 0.90 than aw 0.95 and 0.99. AtfB could be the pivotal regulator response to aw variations, and could further regulate downstream genes, especially AF biosynthesis genes. The expressions of conidia genes and relevant regulators were also more up-regulated at aw 0.90 than aw 0.95 and 0.99, suggesting that the relative lower aw could increase A. flavus conidia development. Furthermore, transcription factors involved in sexual development and nitrogen metabolism were also modulated by different aw. This research partly clarified the regulatory mechanism of aw on AF biosynthesis and A. flavus development and it would supply some advice for AF prevention in food storage.

Abstract. Hardjo PH, Susanto DPS, Savitri WD, Purwanto MGM. 2019. Shoot multiplication of Pogostemon cablin var. Sidikalang and patchouli oil profile. Nusantara Bioscience 11: 123-127. Pogostemon cablin Benth. is a plant producing patchouli oil, which mostly consists of patchouli alcohol compound. Patchouli oil has great potentials in the world market because of its stability and high price. In this study, in vitro multiplication of Sidikalang variety of Acehnese patchouli shoots was done on solid and liquid Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium. This study aimed to determine the effect of cytokinins in various combinations of shoot multiplication and to compare the patchouli oil yield of in vitro and ex vitro culture. In vitro multiplication of Acehnese patchouli shoots by using solid MS medium with addition of 0.2 ppm benzyl aminopurine (BAP) and 0.2 ppm Kinetin resulted in shoot explants with an average growth index of 82.198 ± 0.690. Patchouli oil extraction was done on 7 weeks old in vitro shoot explants cultured on solid MS medium + 0.2 ppm BAP + 0.2 ppm Kinetin using water distillation method. In vitro shoots yielded 2.5% patchouli oil and contained ± 35% patchouli alcohol compound, whereas ex vitro shoots produced 4% patchouli oil and contained ± 25% patchouli alcohol compound. The qualitative analysis by using thin layer chromatography (TLC) showed that there were similarities in the number of spot and Rf value for each spot of ex vitro and in vitro patchouli oil.

Drought is one of the hostile environmental stresses that limit the yield production of crop plants by modulating their growth and development. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) has a wide range of adaptations to arid and semi-arid climates, but its yield is prone to loss due to drought. Other than beneficial fatty acids and micronutrients, peanut harbors various bioactive compounds including flavonoids that hold a prominent position as antioxidants in plants and protect them from oxidative stress. In this study, understanding of the biosynthesis of flavonoids in peanut under water deficit conditions was developed through expression analysis and correlational analysis and determining the accumulation pattern of phenols, flavonols, and anthocyanins. Six peanut varieties (BARD479, BARI2011, BARI2000, GOLDEN, PG1102, and PG1265) having variable responses against drought stress have been selected. Higher water retention and flavonoid accumulation have been observed in BARI2011 but downregulation has been observed in the expression of genes and transcription factors (TFs) which indicated the maintenance of normal homeostasis. ANOVA revealed that the expression of flavonoid genes and TFs is highly dependent upon the genotype of peanut in a spatiotemporal manner. Correlation analysis between expression of flavonoid biosynthetic genes and TFs indicated the role of AhMYB111 and AhMYB7 as an inhibitor for AhF3H and AhFLS, respectively, and AhMYB7, AhTTG1, and AhCSU2 as a positive regulator for the expression of Ah4CL, AhCHS, and AhF3H, respectively. However, AhbHLH and AhGL3 revealed nil-to-little relation with the expression of flavonoid biosynthetic pathway genes. Correlational analysis between the expression of TFs related to the biosynthesis of flavonoids and the accumulation of phenolics, flavonols, and anthocyanins indicated coregulation of flavonoid synthesis by TFs under water deficit conditions in peanut. This study would provide insight into the role of flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in drought response in peanut and would aid to develop drought-tolerant varieties of peanut.
