Konservasi Tanaman Lada (Piper Nigrum L.) Secara in Vitro
In vitro conservation of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.)Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is one of the economically im¬ potant spices. The major constraint in black pepper cultivation and conservation in ield is foot rot disease caused by Phytopthora capsici which could cause plants die. Conservation of black pepper germplasms as living collections in ield is risky due to pests and natural disaster. The experiment on in vitro cop ervation of black pepper var. LDL was conducted al the laboratory of Plant Genetic Resources and Breeding, Research Institute for Spice and Medicinal Crops (RISMC) Bogor from April 1998 to Maret 1999. Single node cuttings from sterile culture were used as explains. The explains were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium on full and half strength concentration supplemented with paclobutrazol (paclo) (0, 1, 3 and 5 mg/1). The experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design arranged factorially with 10 replications. The result showed that the medium supplemented with paclo on both full MS and MS A medium could suppress vegetative growth until 12 months. There was no signiicant interaction between medium and paclo on shoot initiation. The effect was signiicant on shoot height, number of leaves and culture performances. Increasing paclo concen¬ tration caused higher suppression of plant growth. MS A medium supplemented with paclo 5 mg/1 showed the slowest growth with shool height 2.10 cm and number of leaves 9. Culture performance was fresh, with green leaves and vigorous. Advcntive shoots were able to regenerate on the medium supplemented with BA 0.3 mg/1. In vitro conservation of black pepper with paclo did not change plant regeneration ability. Therefore, this technique may be used as an altenative method for black pepper conservation

Fetal gene variants associated with birth weight protection in a native high altitude Ladakhi population
Pathological low birth weight ‘fetal growth restriction’ (FGR) is an important predictor of adverse obstetric outcomes including stillbirth. It is more common amongst native lowlanders when gestating in the hypoxic environment of high altitude, whilst populations who have resided at high altitude for many generations are relatively protected. Genetic study of pregnant populations at high altitude allows for exploration of the hypoxic influence on FGR pathogenesis.
Pregnant women were recruited from Sonam Norboo Memorial Hospital, Ladakh between February 2017-January 2019 in this study. Principal component, admixture and genome wide association analysis (GWAS) were applied on umbilical cord blood DNA samples from 316 neonates, to explore ancestry and the genetic influence on low birth weight.
Our findings support Tibetan ancestry in the Ladakhi population, with subsequent admixture with neighboring Indo-Aryan populations. Fetal growth protection was evident in Ladakhi neonates. Seven loci from five different genomic regions (ZBTB38, ZFP36L2, HMGA2, CDKAL1, PLCG1) previously associated with birthweight, were likewise similarly associated here.
In summary, the Ladakhi population show evidence of enrichment of variants in genes that may help mitigate altitude-associated fetal growth restriction, supporting novel biological pathways and therapeutic targets for FGR, worthy of further investigation.</p
Population history and genome wide association studies of birth weight in a native high altitude Ladakhi population
Pathological low birth weight due to fetal growth restriction (FGR)is an important predictor of adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes. It is more common amongst native lowlanders when gestating in the hypoxic environment of high altitude, whilst populations who have resided at high altitude for many generations are relatively protected. Genetic study of pregnant populations at high altitude permits exploration of the role of hypoxic in FGR pathogenesis, and perhaps of FGR pathogenesis more broadly.
We studied the umbilical cord blood DNA of 316 neonates born to pregnant women managed at the Sonam Norboo Memorial Hospital, Ladakh (altitude 3540m) between February 2017-January 2019. Principal component, admixture and genome wide association studies (GWAS) were applied to dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genetic data, to explore ancestry and genetic predictors of low birth weight.
Our findings support Tibetan ancestry in the Ladakhi population, with subsequent admixture with neighboring Indo-Aryan populations. Fetal growth protection was evident in Ladakhi neonates. Although no variants achieved genome wide significance, we observed nominal association of seven variants across genes (ZBTB38, ZFP36L2, HMGA2, CDKAL1, PLCG1) previously associated with birthweight.</div

ADMIXTURE analysis of the Ladakhi population.
ADMIXTURE analysis for K = 2 (top), K = 3 (middle) and K = 4 (bottom). ADMIXTURE analysis shows Ladakhi contain higher number of Tibeto-Burman ancestries and are relatively closer to Tibetans.</p
