Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsASSESSING THE GENETIC RELATIONSHIP OF TAIF ROSE WITH SOME ROSE GENOTYPES (ROSA SP.) BASED ON RANDOM AMPLIFIED POLYMORPHIC DNA, INTER SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEAT AND SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEAT MARKERSSalah El-Din El-Assal, Mohamed A. El-Awady, Adel El-Tarras, Gaber ShehabTaif-roses are a famous rose type that cultivated in Taif region and well known with their deep and intensive fragrance in the Arabian World. Despite of the great economical importance of Taif-roses for the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, their genetic origin has not been yet elucidated. The present study was mainly aimed to assess the genetic relationship between Taif-roses and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 29 Apr 2014 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTaurine Implicated in Bromocriptine Induced Hallucination: Glycine-Glutamic-Aspartic Implicated in Bromocriptine Induced SchizophreniaAbdulrahim Abu JayyabProblem statement: The literature is reviewed and supports a strong anecdotal relationship between bromocriptine use and psychosis. It is well known that any interference with brain amino acid levels is likely to lead to disorder. Our previous research has shown that bromocriptine produced significant changes in the heart and kidneys amino acid contents. It has been confirmed that the brain … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNutritional Value of the Maize Stalk Borer and American Bollworm as Unconventional Protein SourcesA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: The maize stalk borer and American bollworm were grown in an artificial media to evaluate their potential as human food sources. Approach: Both cultures were started from moths and the life cycle and culture structures were evaluated. Results: The larvae of both insects reached maximum weight and maximum length at the same time. The growth rate of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Use of Insects as Human Food in ZambiaA.E. GhalyProblem statement: The life cycle and culture structure of two commonly eaten worms in Zambia (Isoberlinia paniculata and Miombo/Mopani) were evaluated. The worms were grown on an artificial medium to evaluate the potential of producing them on a commercial scale. Approach: An interesting characteristic of the worms studied was that they reached their maximum weight and maximum length at the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Yellow Mealworm as a Novel Source of ProteinA. E. Ghaly, F. N. AlkoaikProblem statement: Yellow mealworms of different sizes (4.8-182.7 mg) were grown in a medium of wheat flour and brewer’s yeast (95:5 by weight) to evaluate their potential as a protein source. Approach: There was an initial adjustment period (3-9 days) observed during which the younger larvae (4.8-61.1 mg) grew slowly while the older ones (80.3-182.7 mg) lost weight. After this … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 20,859 accessesView PDFCite
